My little neighborhood standing in for Savannah, GA today. Complete with fake Spanish moss in the trees! I THINK this is for the new “Cape Fear” Apple TV show. #Yallywood

“Melissa & Adam Cocina Vacsa” sits beneath mature trees draped with Spanish moss, giving the street a coastal-southern appearance. The mural of a white bull is visible on the left wall, and the restaurant’s warm lighting glows through its windows. Parked cars line the curb in the foreground. To the right, nearby storefronts include one with an orange façade. It is dusk, with the sky pale and trees casting long shadows.

A corner brick building at street level in downtown Decatur, Georgia, has been dressed to resemble a restaurant called “Melissa & Adam Cocina Vacsa.” The name appears in white block letters on a large black awning that extends over glass doors and windows. Warm interior lighting reveals a bar and hanging lights inside. The original business sign for The White Bull is not visible. On the side wall, there is a large mural of a white bull’s head painted on dark brick. Several pedestrians walk by on the sidewalk; one man wears black clothes and a hat, and a woman walks beside him. Evening light is visible in the sky.

A nighttime photo showing a sidewalk scene with storefronts lit by streetlights. A rack covered in hanging Spanish moss stands on the sidewalk beside orange traffic cones and a pink sandwich-board sign that reads, “BUSY MAKING ‘WOW’ HAPPEN. Keep shopping and dining while the magic happens. Downtown businesses are open.” A large yellow pointing-finger emoji graphic and the words “MOSS RACK” are digitally overlaid on the photo, indicating the rack. The moss appears to be part of set dressing for a nearby film or TV production. Two pedestrians walk past under streetlights.

A closer nighttime view of the moss rack shown previously. The rack is made of shiny metal poles arranged vertically and horizontally, with bundles of Spanish moss draped across it. Several orange traffic cones are placed around the setup, one labeled “DPW STREET.” Behind the rack, equipment carts and scaffolding are visible, along with the same pink “Busy Making WOW Happen” sign. The photo is taken on a city sidewalk beside a brick wall, with low yellow light illuminating the scene.

Does he even know that moviedom fled overseas (& away from yallywood) because people in Europe have universal healthcare, meaning studios don't have to worry about & negotiate over that big chunk of business?

#ICYMI #Georgia wanted to become #Yallywood and for a brief period became a major player for TV/film. Now it's got problems. By @benfritz.bsky.social

Tax incentives lured studios to help build the ‘Hollywood of the South,’ but now Marvel and others are going overseas for cheaper labor costs.

You can now hail a Waymo robotaxi through the Uber app in Atlanta, GA… www.cnbc.com/2025/06/24/u... (Yes, I refrained from calling ATL “Hotlanta.” “Yallywood.” Etc.)
