They have these giant pretzels. And hotdogs that have been on the heater for a week. Fine dining if you’re in the area.
I travel far out of my way to avoid passing through that foul city. Alabama’s a way nicer state than most realize. That does not apply to Birmingham.
Birmingham’s motto: “Still better than West Memphis!”
Typical USian. This is the original Birmingham, not your cheap copy.
Is this Birmingham, Alabama or Birmingham, UK, though?
Based on the endless gray clouds I’m going to say UK (and also that they call a gas station a “garage” despite no mechanics on duty).
What do you call it, a “car hole”?
The style of architecture (notice the roof shingles, chimney shape, the dark red brick low wall between the street and the pump court and the iron fence in the middle of the road that goes by the pump - the photo was taken from the other side of the road), the kind of cars there, the weather and even the guy working with a reflective vest (all the way to the right of the picture) all suggest UK.
In fact even without the title the whole thing looks very UK (as opposed to other places in Europe, though I wouldn’t be as sure).
I lived in Britain and this picture immediatelly said “familiar” and “UK” as soon as I saw it. What’s funny is that to write this post I had to try and understand what elements made it so familiar.
You can tell it’s British by the fact that there are two white vans and not a pick-up truck in sight.
White vans, no less.
Peak Bri’ish cuisine
one town over, the second best food is the tacos out of a gas station (the best is the greek restaurant, best food in the county. fuck I want another gyro) so like this isn’t that far off
