I couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 back in 1960 – ’61 when my Grandmother, Mrs. Morris (Mervin) Hill took me to the Peacock for lunch. I don’t remember what we ate except for the corn pones! I do recall the dining room, to my child’s mind, as being big and airy. Thank you for the opportunity to reminisce.
Hi Sandy…..Did you see the original photo of the Peacock Hotel at Ellaville Memories Yahoo Groups web site? It’s a good one.
