The Birmingham series

Some friends here visited the states at Christmastime and visited some of my favorite cities, including the one in which I lived for 4 years. By and large, they were underwhelmed, and my theory is that they simply didn't know where to go.

Thus, I've decided to start posting favorite places on occasion in the hopes the future visitors will heed my excellent advice.

This inaugural set of photos is from The Garage, one of Birmingham's premier bars that was supposedly voted one of the 10 bars worth traveling for by GQ magazine. But who knows, that might just be an urban legend.

Regardless, it's the perfect place to sit and chat with friends; engage in cute, flirty conversation or climb a tree, Zaccheus-style. However you choose to enjoy it, don't you dare miss it should you happen to pass through Birmingham, Alabama.

Having been of drinking age and inclination in Birmingham for several years now, the real problem is that its often imtemperate for being outside. And the concrete seating scratches ones legs, while the metal seats are terribly uncomfortable and unstable. Also, the drinks are expensive, which is not generally an issue for you, but is for those who drink in quantity. Oh, but they have good food.
