I visited Covington, Ga. (Sparta, Miss) again on September 30th, 2012! I had mapped out a few locations that I missed last time! Thanks to a few "Heat" fans who told me of filming spots, and a few I found myself! Below are the pictures that include: The Old McGuffey house, included in a lot of episodes, including "falsely accused", where Bob Pinkney made a scene with Bill and Harriet! The Old McGuffy House is located in nearby Conyers, Ga. I also got a shot of Bob's car lot, where he sold the couple the "lemon!" Also, "dangerous engagement" Where Bill is mistaken for McComb, and Parker bets the farm on identifying the sniper! The restaurant is closed and for sale now, wanna buy it! I also took a shot of Bill's new house. Harriet was picking out wallpaper and Bill wants her to move in with him! I got a shot of the bridge where Parker and Julie Lofton went in Legion Park to discover the water samples in "laid to waste!" In "sweet sweet blues", I found Nathan Bedford's house across the street from Legion Park. Mason's Dixieline bar is featured in a lot of episodes including "mosleys lot!" The irony of it all, The Church of the Celestial Influence in the episode "Give me your life" is now really a church! By the way, it didn't burn down! Right behind it is the water tower with "Sparta" still written on it! In "little girl lost" I got a shot of the store where she bought her "tonic!" In "citizen trundel" I found Natalie DeLong's house, where she was killed! At the very beginning of the episode "citizen trundel pt1, I have included a shot of the church that was in the picture before the red Thunderbird with the killers inside, came around the corner!! In the episode "correct setting", Sam Quirt ran Bishop Prinn off the road. I got a shot of the shop where he returned the banged up car, and the church where Eugene was to meet the Bishop! The church is right across the street from the Tibbs' home! In the episode "and justice for some", there is supposed to be the home where the boy lived that got hit by the truck! Virgil and Althea's church, The African Zion Church, is featured in a lot of episodes including "odessa" and "kings ransom." Next to the church a lot of the "bottoms" section has been torn down! I hope that I have more time next time I visit there! In the mean time all my "Heat" fans....enjoy these! |
