Po' Monkey's Lounge

This legendary rural juke joint, famous for its knick-knacks, string lights and Thursday night gatherings, closed its doors in 2016 after the death of proprietor and namesake Willie 'Po' Monkey' Seaberry. Today, stripped of its decor (sold at auction) and sitting forlornly beside a lonely cotton field, it's a melancholy but striking place, especially as the sun goes down.
