Garage Café
For the uninitiated, finding the Garage -- and then finally making your way through the Garage to the enormous wisteria-coated courtyard in the back -- is like discovering a lost tomb in a kudzu jungle. It is, after all, a sacred Birmingham site. More like an estate-sale graveyard than a bar, the Garage is littered with little concrete tables and rusty chairs and one-armed peeing cherub statuettes. Flanked by rows of glassed-in alcoves used in the 1920s and '30s by the city's wealthy car-owning residents, the garages now house what can best be called, simply, a ton of random crap for sale. Stray cats seem to be wandering everywhere, it's cash only, and the PBRs still come in longnecks. So when you're there, find an overturned topiary pot, pull it up to your friends' table, and park it. You know, that kind of bar.
well on the positive side... The BBVA Compass bowl is about 1.5 hours from where I live... soo.. theres that.

I understand that we're projected (assuming bowl eligibility) to go to the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, January 4th. AKA "a meaningless bowl that nobody watches between the Jan 1 BCS bowls and the National Championship".Seriously, the previously Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl in Shreveport (now AdvoCare V100 Bowl) has more prestige than the Compass. That is how bad it's become.

If we miss a bowl game, I'm swearing off football and following curling.
