The Blue Monkey Lounge...there's a name I've not heard in a long time. A good place to smoke a puro and enjoy an eight dollar martini too. Right shy of Five Points and all the splendor it offered. Say, speaking of which, did anyone ever find the goat-headed priest-like fountain right in front of the church a bit odd? I mean, I liked the fact that it was right in front of a church, but it never failed to be slightly disturbing.
I used to live in Alabama for a brief period of time. Lived in both Birmingham (Hoover actually - lived in Greystone waaaaay out off of 280) and Mobile. Birmingham was a little more cigar-friendly in terms of the places it offered, but the whole 'bama scene was a bit too much downtempo for this Cubano's soul. Then, they had to go and take down Vulcan. Go figure. Maybe the people of Homewood got tired of looking straight at his ass.
Anyway, hello to all the other Alabamans and SEC conference followers in here. Having said that, ROLLLLL TIDDDEEEEE.
