Downtown Macon Restaurant Doubles its Capacity
Mark Manning is the manager of the Rookery, a longtime Macon establishment. The excitement and expanded customer base brought in by film productions has allowed the restaurant and bar to double its capacity and hire more workers. A vibrant production scene in Macon is illustrated by the renewed energy in downtown businesses and the hospitality industry in the community. “These movies support us while they are here. There’s just a lot more energy, and people want to be part of that.”
