Downtown Birmingham: Spring 2012

Posted by: Naaman

I made a run downtown for a few hours this Spring.  I was trying to rediscover what got me started on this journey.  I found it: the things we pass by every day, but never have the time to notice or fully take in.  To me, this is as interesting as the next big find (which, by the way, is in the works).

Ice Cream Castle

A while back, Exothermic sent me an email.
It had this picture and the name of a city:

We searched using all known methods with no success.  
Then one day, purely by accident, I found it.
