Fountain Inn motel Hollywood Georgia

"No Vacancy"

Once the ‘Fountain Inn’ in Hollywood, Georgia on Highway 441 was a busy place for tourists to stop and rest on their way to the NE Georgia Mountains. Big-box motels that sprung up along the new by-passes of America helped to put an end to an era of America’s love affair with the road. Once, north-bound traffic from Atlanta and further south had to pass through Hollywood to get to the coolness of the Georgia Mountains, Cherokee, NC, and other northern hot-spot destinations. Now, the by-pass, though close to the motel, diverts travelers away from Hollywood.

The car pictured in the painting has been sitting in the same spot for as long as I can remember, a kind of monument to a by-gone day. There are times you can see a light in one of the rooms on a lonely night and occasionally a porch light illuminates a rusting chair or the old Coke box. If you find yourself wandering off the beaten path, and run upon the Fountain Inn, no need to stop for a room. There is never a vacancy at this memorial to yesteryear. You can, however, stop for a photo and reminisce. In an age where Americana history is being torn down and turned into vacant lots or made into suburban sprawl I consider this one of the last uninhibited intact vestiges of a time when mom and pop motels were king.  

Note: In real life and in painting the car is more of a burnt orange color. Colors are a little off in photo.

Hollywood is well known for a little diner situated next to the motel. Aptly named Hollywood Diner, it serves excellent catfish. Friday and Saturday nights, its all-you-can-eat.
