Birmingham Alabama (Layover)

I have an hour layover here in Birmingham, AL and I’m sitting in this little cafe on 3rd Ave and 20th St. called Java & Jams.  I pulled it up on Yelp for iPhone and proceeded to truck my way out of the bus station and past the park to get here for a short cup of joe.

Walking in I already liked the place.  It’s a narrow cafe with seating along the sides and counter at the end.  Three folks were sitting talking about country music guitars in laps near the counter – one turned out to be the server.  I ordered a cup of coffee and sat down for a moment of plugged in time.

They played an old country tune entitled, “Long Haired Country Boy” originally by Charlie Daniels, and I caught up on an e-mail or two.  Now, back to the bus for the next leg of my journey.
