I went to Birmingham on our first big US road trip visiting from Australia in 1990

We just randomly picked places on a map thats name was in a song lol our cheap motel in Mussel shoals had a choice of 24 hour star trek and 24 hour porn, our bed had a 10c slot for vibration lol Only in USA

Weirdest places we went was Waco Texas and Laredo.
I bought a brand new pair of Vintage Big E selvedge (pink stripe) Levi,s 501,s from a Birmingham charity shop for $3, I still have them and they are now worth a small fortune!
