As I sat in the passenger seat of my dad's sedan, my excitement built as we edged closer and closer to the Habersham County line on 365. I had driven by it last year and now it was time to check it out. It was time to explore. And it was time to take pictures!
Last time I drove by the School Bus Graveyard, I did a double take. What. Is. That!
I had to know, but as I drove away from the Big Red Apple, I knew it wasn't time yet. A few months later though... Tuesday morning, it was time.
It wasn't always like this. The artwork is new, and changes yearly. We learned this talking to a man named Walter at the garage of Wade's Junk Yard. Walter gave me the rules for taking pictures and directed my thirst for more information to Crispy Printz.
Nack, is an artist (at Crispy Printz) and the curator of the graveyard.
Nack also makes artwork you can take home - check out the Crispy Printz online store here. He also paints murals for hire.
Take a gander at some photos we took exploring the outer perimeter above. Each year the art changes! My current favorite is "Is it spicy?" You can also listen to the full interview that aired Friday on the Afternoon News Wrap.
Before you check in with Walter or anyone else at the office (it is private property after all), there's one big rule you should know: You can't climb on the buses like a spider monkey. The likelihood of getting injured is really high, in fact, Walter told me they have the security footage to prove it.
To get to the school bus graveyard, travel down 365 past Lula and hit the Habersham County line. A few cross streets later, you'll see it, proud and tall on a hill. Turn left and visit the garage for permission, then park off the roadway and walk up the hill and take your pictures.
Until next week,
Stay curious.
