View From The Second Floor....

What's On Second.  One of the most eclectic shops in downtown Birmingham.  I always find cool collectibles and things to photograph here.

So Many Books.......

Jim Reed calls his shop on Third Avenue downtown, Jim Reed Books / Museum of Fond Memories. I will admit that this extensive collection of memorabilia is for a photographer, the ultimate photo op, but his stash of old books, which line the walls and engulf an entire room, are pretty impressive as well.

I have to watch my visits,  as I'm already starting to resemble his collection of books right here at home!

Not Just Any Dinettes...

but FASHION Dinettes.  Question, how many of you remember these? Spotted on 2nd Avenue North.

Reverend Mickey...

preaching to the faithful at the Church of Disney?  No, just a fanciful arrangement I found upstairs at What's On Second? in downtown Birmingham.  You just never know what you'll find, that's why I go so often!
