Kass, if the quote is..."Let's face it, we're younger and faster," then my response is "Towanda!" and you might recognize the following...

That's mom at the Whistle Stop Café in Juliette, GA. It's near Macon, where the town was created for the film. Same movie???

Absolutely, what an awesome pic. She even looks like the older Iggy. The first time I watched that movie while that police man was eating the BBQ, I thought to myself, hummm I wonder???? No, you watch too much Criminal minds, then towards the end you learn I was right!!!!!

And the "younger / faster" quote wasn't my favorite, her response "Face it I'm older and have more insurance" is one of my favorites.

Love that movie. I read the book first and belly laughed through several sections, not the least of which was the funeral for the arm. We go to Juliette a couple of times a year. The "town" is neat, no longer than a 1/16 of a mile long, but the cafe used to have a lot more memorabilia. Last time we were there, a train rolled through. Added to our enjoyment. Yeah, I always do a double-take if I order BBQ. 😉
