Midway Cafe (closed) - Decaturville, Tennessee

I suspect that this was a fabulous place to grab a bite once upon a time...most likely a meat & three, a juicy cheesburger & fries, and some amazing homemade pie!! Unfortunately, the best 'hole in the wall diners' are all going the way of all other 'mom & pop' establishments...just going away and I think it is sad. Support your local diners, restaurants, stores, etc. to help slow this unfortunate trend and enjoy some of the best food you'll ever eat.

Image was taken during my trek to photograph all 95 county courthouses across my home state of Tennessee...now revisiting in order that the courthouses were photographed!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
