It is coated with thick polyurethane to stand up to weather and vandals. Teller, 31, a longtime Allman Brothers fan, calls this project "serendipity." "In 2010, I was on my way home from a Phish concert, and my car broke down in Macon," he said. "I asked a guy who looked like an old hippie where to eat, and he sent me to the H&H, where I met Mama Louise. So I encountered her truly in her element. Later, when I got the Moonhanger email asking if I'd be willing to paint a mural, my mind was, like, literally blown. Of course, I was honored." Teller has painted murals from Miami to Chicago but cites his Macon work as "special." "I couldn't believe the turn-out when it was unveiled in February," he said, "but they were there to support Mama Louise, not me. It's an incredible feeling to be part of something so uplifting in a small, close-knit community, where you can really feel its impact."

She was tapped as executive chef for the new H&H, where she has tweaked the menu and added several items to it. "It was started by two strong, African-American women, and we wanted to keep that tradition going," Griffith said, referring to Myers, a Charleston native of Gullah-Geechee descent. The mushroom logo remains, as does a code of hospitality and generosity. "We need to keep telling this story," said Myers, who will not hesitate to give away food to people who seem down and out. "I feed the homeless who show up, and every time I do, I feel Mama Louise smiling at me and saying, 'You're doing good. Keep doing good.'" 44 maconmagazine.com | JUNE/JULY 2022 HAVE I PREPARED HER FOR WHEN I'M GONE? 4 7 8 - 3 3 6 - 5 3 3 0 | 8 4 4 - 5 3 3 - 6 5 3 3 6 5 0 1 P E A K E R O A D | B U I L D I N G 3 0 0 | M A C O N , G A 3 1 2 1 0 Investment advisory services offered through Foundational Wealth Advisory, a Member of Advisory Services Network, LLC.
