The next major city we drove through on our trip was Nashville, Tennessee. I actually lived outside of Nasvhille for a brief period, but I was only 3 years old, so I don’t remember a whole lot. Otherwise, I’ve never spent much time in this city, despite driving past it over 100 times over the [...]

Drive By Review: Birmingham, Alabama
The first major city we drove through on Sunday was Birmingham, Alabama. I have a lot of family that lives approximately 70 miles from the city, so I’ve spent a little bit of time here off and on over the years. It’s always reminded me a little bit of Columbus, actually. Big enough to be [...]
