Chicken salad for lunch at Cobb Lane Restaurant.

Cobb Lane, a cobblestone alley, has a restaurant and few other shops. I had my lunch down this lane.

A parting shot of Cobb Lane Restaurant where I lunched (and quite well!)

I was at Five Points South of Birmingham and saw some buildings made of all brick, like this one.

Five Points South Circle, where outdoor cafes and restaurants abound.

I stopped by Carver Theatre, Jazz Hall of Fame Museum. This is a collection in tribute to Erskine Hawkins.

If you know jazz, you know W.C. Handy.

A little blurb about the father of the blues, W.C. Handy.

Ella Fitzgerald was also given tribute.

Front of the Carver Theatre.

This airplane was right outside the Southern Museum of Flight.

Entrance of Southern Museum of Flight.

This was an interesting plane/helicopter??

The Marvel.

A little blurb about Ruan.

And here's the shot of Rutan.

A shot of all the airplanes in a hangar of general aviation in the museum. It was pretty cool to see a lot of different types of planes.

A little blurb about a chopper.

This is a helicopter.

The controls inside the helicopter.

The seats inside the chopper.

A close shot of another plane.

But notice that the tire is flat? I noticed that most planes' tires were flat... guess they don't want people flying out with them.

I had to take a picture of "Rolls Royce" 12 cylinder engine.

And this is the Rolls Royce 12 cylinder engine.

A blurb about a buzzard.

Pretty cool looking cylinders, eh? These are in rotational wheel.

A shot of early aircraft hangar.

A blurb about a replica.

I think this is a replica of what Wright Brothers flew.

This has an engine so that the plane can fly for longer.

Don't know why a car would be included in this museum, but Ford Model T was pretty cool.

Look at this Ford!

Not much instrument for driving.

A view from the side.

Can you imagine being a "wing walker"?? That's what they did for shows!

A blurb about wing-walking.

A model of USS Enterprise (not a starship), with model planes on its deck.

A last shot of the plane as I was leaving.

And the last blurb.
