If you’ve ever driven between Cordele and Americus via Lake Blackshear you’ve probably noticed this eclectic structure, built to look like an old river boat. It was a popular restaurant/nightclub known as the Anchored Flint and is still in use today as a banquet facility at Lakeshore Marine on the Sumter County side of the lake. The “flint” in Anchored Flint refers to the Flint River, from which Lake Blackshear was created. Thanks to Lydia Cook for the identification.
My wife and I had our first date at the Anchored Flint.
played a christmas party there in the eighties.
I remember eating there back in the ’60s or ’70s. They had good catfish, if I remember right.
I have nothing but great memories of the Disco era and the Flint was THE place to go. Charlie Mims spinning records, everyone shouting out for their county when WE ARE FAMILY was played! I would love to see this place have new breath blown in and a nice bar come back.
