Howdy ! ( scroll down for pictures and the video if you are impatient )
This post comes to you a little late. I was in Alabama this past May. I usually like to post sooner than this so nothing escapes me. As it is now my mind is a Steel Sieve . Luckily I like to explore with my eye and my belly so the memories take some hold. To be exact I did not spend my time in LA ( Lower Alabama ) . I spent it in Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville with an incursion in Columbus Georgia. Did I mention I drove through Auburn where I saw the Church Building I mean the stadium @ Auburn University. I will tell you that it reminded me of the Coliseum not in Los Angeles where I am writing from but the one in Rome . The pictures on the internets that I found do not do it justice. Up close the angles of seats will make a triple black diamond ski run look safe or frighten this guy ( probably not).
Uber. My drivers license expired and I could not rent a car so I used the UBER. Very impressed. Used it multiple times. Learned right off the bat to start a conversation with a stranger you ask them “Where do you go to church?” and “Who do you root for?” .
Henry Tile. They were already a customer but now it seems we are on the road to developing a partnership, perhaps not overnight but excited for the process!
Montgomery. I spent two nights maybe three downtown. Found a fun & tasty place to eat. I think I ate 4 meals plus had my first taste of Pimento & Cheese. Found Some Cool Tile ( below ) too. Explored the capitol & the water front ( below) . A lot of history. Not all good but important & not hidden which was different from where I come from where it seems bad memories are erased then forgotten which can lend it self to be repeated.
Boiled Peanuts . Bad Discovery
Back to Henry Tile. Before I get to the pictorial part of the post which in the end is simple to consume I want to thank them for the Hospitality not to mention them shuttling me around the state. Look forward to my next visit.
In case you are in the mood now here is Lynyrd Skynyrd .
