I will say my stay in Birmingham continues to be so much fun and most interesting! The weather here is well, let's say, crazy! Since I have been here, it's been sunny and 70s one day to gloomy cloudy days then a flash snow shower that shut the city and surrounding areas down, then sunny but really cold and windy days! They say this week will be in the 60s-low 70s and it is the end of January! That is an adventure in itself to find clothes for all of the different weather days!
Well, the folks in this area are truly kind, polite, and well mannered! I will be walking down the street and you will here strangers wave and day "Hey y'all! How are ya?" or "Hey y'all! How ya doin?" Strangers ... and they look at you smiling! It's really nice here in the South!
So I found this place to eat lunch and met a sweet girl, Flat Stella, who is a huge Alabama Crimson Tide fan, and Flat Salley and Flat Stanley!
We had so much fun eating lunch! What a special treat! I had a scoop of chicken salad on shredded lettuce and a side of hummus and pita bread. I highly recommend this choice! I did see other things that looked just a delicious such as steak roll-ups, pimento cheese sandwiches, and chocolate cake. And this lunch place was full of polite folks saying "Hey y'all!" and "Enjoy your lunch" ... I am loving this Southern hospitality! (It's a for real thing!)
This day was a good weather day so we decided to walk down the street after lunch. This area was called a "village" ... not sure why but it was like a Main Street in that it had drug stores, banks, grocery store, clothing stores, and restaurants. It really was a quaint area with mothers and small children walking around. It was a busy place to be ... maybe because the weather was so nice! Again I watched and saw so many folks respond to people with "Hey y'all!"
So if you plan to visit this area ... practice saying "Hey ya'll!" and you will fit right in!
