Looking For Love In Georgia

This week’s post highlights the cute train tanker car in Saint Marys, Georgia.

The tanker car was permanently parked behind the former train station. The front of the tanker had been painted to resemble a face with eyes that included eyelashes and eyebrows and large pink lips. A red bow and one single blonde curl were painted on the forehead area. At the base of the “face” was a sign that read, “I’M LOOKING FOR LOVE” and the two Os in the word looking are painted like eyes.

It was that face painted tanker car that prompted me to get out of the vehicle to take photographs as we entered the small charming city. As I walked back behind the building to photograph the tanker I found many small areas that had been set up with Halloween decorations.

None of the vignettes, however were as cute or inviting as that tanker car.

I couldn’t help but wonder who came up with the idea of painting a face on the front of that car? Did someone see the rounded front on that car and imagine a face? Did someone see something similar on their travels and came home to plant that same idea right there in Saint Marys?

None of that really matters. What matters is that the face painted train tanker car made me smile. It enticed me to get out of my vehicle and walk around. It prompted me to smile with a wide eyed look of enjoyment at what I was viewing.

Looking for love in Georgia? I certainly found it in Saint Marys, Georgia, a small coastal city built on the banks of the St. Marys River. You just might, too!
