Things To Do
Avondale Park
When Ali would visit me in Birmingham this is one of the places we visited. Around Avondale Park there are a few good restraurants. Melt has great American food, Post Office Pies has great pizza and a good experience, these are just a few places we have tried but there are many other food places in this area.
Railroad Park
This is a great park in the heart of downtown Birmingham. Fun Fact: Sarah and Ali had one of their first dates at this park! If you want to take a morning/ evening stroll this is a unique place.
