Things To Do
Decks and Docks
Look, you’re in the sticks here y’all. But we’ll feed ya good. Ask for Puma the Rescue Cat for a wonderful photo op after you grab some super fly shrimp tacos and hickory fries. Decks and Docks has good food, wonderful views, and usually some great entertainment. Especially if you’re catching it on a night when Austin Bishop is the serenader of the evening.
F. C. Weiss Pub and Eatery
An adorable pub with fantastic soups, sandwiches, and a charcuterie board that’ll thrill your faux classy self to the gills. It’s like “Cheers” only if you’re from out of town, they probably won’t know your name... but you can tell them!
Little River Canyon
Hiking. Yikes. But I’m sure that’s for some of you go getters and the scenery is beautiful. PS: Matthew McConaughey himself filmed a few delightful scenes from one of my (Tara) few personal favorite ‘chick-flicks’, “Failure to Launch”. On a disappointing note, Terry Bradshaw wasn’t in that scene. But for real. Check it out! Use the buddy system, please. And remember that all horseplay on the mountain can result in scuffs that will show up in pictures on the big day or even worse. Buzzard food.
Walmart Supercenter
This. This just really captures the essence of our hometown. Ya ain’t living if Walmart ain’t on your list. And don’t sell yourself short either because directly across the street is a Dollar Tree. We do it big here and only want the best experience of our little hamlet for YOU.
Gadsden, AL
Really, you’re about 25 minutes away from “real” civilization. They have an Arby’s and everything. But mostly, their downtown is quaint and full of hidden gems. Absolutely worth wandering if you’re in town earlier than the day of. The Rail restaurant is to die for and King’s Olive Oil keeps us greased and ready to entertain. Not to mention the sweetest boutiques (Huddle, Tara’s on 3rd, and a few other precious little shops) you really could hit downtown Gadsden and be entertained all day. (Just not all day on October 30. We’ll be entertaining you then.)
Rome
Again. Our tiny little village is nestled in between some pretty sweet legit places. Rome has a Mellow Mushroom. Enough said. Oh, you need more? Shopping, wine bars, a mall with a Buckle in it. Sure it’s spread out but you got this. Their downtown is a pretty sweet little set up too and to skip Honeymoon Bakery is a cardinal sin! And pop in to Harvest Moon (no Honeymoon relation) for some of their wicked pimento cheese dip. Honey hush!
150 Mexican Restaurants to Choose From
La Cabana, Don Bigotes, La Marina, some other Mexican restaurant literally in the parking lot of another Mexican restaurant.... you want rice and beans? We got ya. And don’t sleep on Taco Bell.
Piedmont High School
Literally. There will be a game going on the night before the wedding. And lemme tell ya. Them Bulldogs are sights to behold. What’s better than some high school football here in Alabama? Nothing. That’s what.
