This will probably sound somewhat negative, but I think you might agree with me regarding my opinion about the northwest corner of the intersection of North Main Street and Northside Drive - the location where Franklins Restaurant operated for so many decades. For the last several years, since the restaurant closed and the property was purchased, a once proud Statesboro landmark (home of the world's worst apple pie) has looked pretty bad. The previously thriving corner had become a legitimate eyesore.
