Maps

Here are some maps to help you get acquainted with where things are.
The first map is of the US. Alabama and Georgia are in the lower right corner, above Florida.

The next map is a close up of that region, showing
more clearly where they are. Look closely and you'll find Atlanta, Georgia --
the movie was filmed closeby. And due west is Birmingham, AL -- just
a tad east of there is where the story took place.

The last map is of Taiwan, where the teachers
who inspired this web site are from.


Complete map of the United States. The region where the story
takes place is in the lower right corner of the
country, in the Southeast .

This map is a close up of the Southeast region
of the US. Alabama and Georgia are neighboring states,
just north of Florida. As you can imagine, it gets
pretty darn hot in the summer. But, as you recall
from the book, it can get cold enough sometimes to snow a bit.
And, cold enough so that Smokey Lonesome died of
exposure right outside of Whistle Stop,
trying to get back to the cafe.

Anyway, you can see how close it might be
to drive from east of Birmingham to
just over the Georgia border when Idgie went to
visit Ruth.


This map is of Taiwan. It is in Southeast Asia. It is south of Japan,
north of the Phillipines, and just
across the strait from China. At the very
tip top of the map you see the words Taipei
-- that's where the teachers are that this site
is dedicated to and the author live.

It is mighty hot here, too, and it never snows.
