Birmingham, Alabama: In the old south, when
passenger trains transported most travelers, folks in Alabama would take
a trip simply to enjoy the pleasures of life in the big city. That city
was Birmingham. At railway platforms all across the state you could hear
one friend calling to another, "Hey, neighbor, where you going?"
And the reply would come:
"Going to Sweet Birmingham".
What joyful anticipation of a trip that promised wonder and adventure.
And still does. Going to sweet Birmingham....
