Birmingham...Closed

Tuscaloosa, AL

Another long day of driving, including stops in Abington, VA, Knoxville, TN, somewhere outside of Chatanooga, TN and Birmingham, AL. We had lunch in Abington at a great restaurant in an old hardware store. After that we headed out toward Knoxville where there were several roads closed including the major highway that we were on, but luckily that ended up with us visiting the Sun Sphere which was part of the 1982 World's Fair. We stopped to play mini golf at Sir Goony's just outside of Chatanooga which was pretty fun. Next, we thought we'd get dinner in Birmingham, but there was literally nothing there. It was empty of people, only had a few cars, and nothing was open for dinner. It was oddly empty for a major city of the south, and we ended up getting back in the car and grabbing McDonalds because it was the first thing outside the city. Tomorrow we head out early so that we can enjoy the day in New Orleans.
