On Friday night, I did something I haven't done in a very long time: I attended an art show opening. For about 15 minutes, I felt a little like my old self again. I even told my same old story of how we used to stand around and complain about Birmingham not supporting the visual arts and then years later complain about how crowded it had become.
Bare Hands Gallery was celebrating its 14th Anniversary. It had been 14 years ago T&J were preparing that space. They've moved on, but the gallery is still going strong.
There are many places in Birmingham I have been unable to go over the last two years. They were my favorite places. Then, they can became our favorite places.
As I prepare to return to Birmingham, I look forward to finding my new favorite places. Maybe it will be Flip Burger or sitting by the lake or at the Salvatore's Pizza at the end of street. Maybe it will be Fresh Market. It could be a brand new place I've yet to discover. Whatever or wherever, never say never or you will end up living off Highway 280 in Shelby County. Oh, the humanity!
