Senoia, aka Woodbury

Just an hour outside of Atlanta is a little town called Senoia, which fellow fans of The Walking Dead will recognize as the filming location for the Woodbury scenes. !!! They were not filming on the day we visited, but the fake walls around the neighborhood were up, and there were a bunch of signs posted about staying away from the filming areas. I had a great time running down the street pretending to be chased by zombies!

There was a little museum that had props from the show and the Woodbury Shoppe, which had souvenirs.

We had a very memorable lunch at Nic & Norman’s, the restaurant owned by Greg Nicotero (executive producer of TWD) and Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon). Not too long after we sat down, we noticed two men at the bar who looked VERY familiar. Could it be? Was it really the actors who play Rick Grimes and Abraham? I mean, that red hair and mustache are unmistakable! After trying to catch sneaky glances throughout our meal, we finally asked our server, “is that really them?” And she laughed and said, sorry, no, those guys are look-alike actors who host TWD walking tours. They had us fooled!
