Between lunch and dinner on the Fourth of July, we decided to check out the City of Columbiana, which is the county seat of Shelby County and located about 25 miles southeast of Birmingham. The town was already all decked out for Liberty Day, which was celebrated the previous Saturday.
Several shop windows had tributes to the troops and war veterans. Notice that Mr. Polk apparently served in World War "11," rather than WWII.
Another storefront tribute.
Murals found on some buildings in downtown. We never saw Eagle's Department Store. Perhaps it used to occupy the building on which the mural is now located. The Coca-Cola mural is located on College Street at the intersection of Main Street. It seems if a town only has one mural it is either for Coca-Cola or Wrigley's Spearmint gum.
The Shelby County Courthouse in Columbiana.
The old courthouse. It is now used for meetings, events, etc.
A floating door on the side of the restaurant, Bernie's on Main St. One would assume that there used to be a stairway up to a deck at one point in the past. We've always been intrigued by the mystery of it.
The front view of Bernie's. We have eaten here many times, but it is never enough for my husband. The owner is Italian, so they have several Italian specialties, among many others. Meat and three at lunch.
