Steve’s take
Cordele is the Watermelon Capital of the World, and if you're driving through in summer you'll see stands selling melons the size of your toddler for three dollars. Pull off, buy one, put it in the cooler, and cut it open at the hotel pool tonight. Your kids will think you're a hero. Also a solid gas-up point — you're exactly between Macon and Valdosta with not much in between.
