Just got back from Birminham, Alabama and thought I'd throw up a few images from the trip. We went to the Civil Rights Institute downtown which is directly across the street from the 16th Street Baptist Church which was the target of a racially motivated bombing in 1963. We also took a short road trip out to Irondale, AL which is home to the Irondale Cafe (the inspiration for the Whistlestop Cafe in Fried Green Tomatoes). To give you a glimpse of the food we encountered I have posted a picture of the famouse fried green tomatoes, a menu board which states that dessert is considered a vegetable and the slab of butter I received with my room service breakfast. It was obvioulsy a good trip.
