This is taken in Irondale, a small suburb outside the city.  It also happens to be where I work.  i took these photos on a walk down to The Whistlestop Cafe’s covered train stop, where I enjoy lunch with friends every Friday.

This just shows you a taste of our infrastructure situation.  I think I have found Where the Sidewalk Ends…

Birmingham is covered with train tracks, some abandoned and some in use today.  Although they make riding more difficult at times, I truly love them.  We have incredible graffiti artists who make them beautiful and the fact that I work so close to the tracks (I often see the conductors at shift change…hanging out on the side of the tracks, bags in hand, talking) makes me happy!
