one town over, the second best food is the tacos out of a gas station (the best is the greek restaurant, best food in the county. fuck I want another gyro) so like this isn’t that far off
Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.
In Texas, it’s common knowledge that the best tacos and tortas are from gas stations.
They have these giant pretzels. And hotdogs that have been on the heater for a week. Fine dining if you’re in the area.
I travel far out of my way to avoid passing through that foul city. Alabama’s a way nicer state than most realize. That does not apply to Birmingham.
Birmingham’s motto: “Still better than West Memphis!”
Typical USian. This is the original Birmingham, not your cheap copy.
huh, I didn’t know both Birminghams had significant rocket industries until today.
Is this Birmingham, Alabama or Birmingham, UK, though?
The style of architecture (notice the roof shingles, chimney shape, the dark red brick low wall between the street and the pump court and the iron fence in the middle of the road that goes by the pump - the photo was taken from the other side of the road), the kind of cars there, the weather and even the guy working with a reflective vest (all the way to the right of the picture) all suggest UK.
In fact even without the title the whole thing looks very UK (as opposed to other places in Europe, though I wouldn’t be as sure).
I lived in Britain and this picture immediatelly said “familiar” and “UK” as soon as I saw it. What’s funny is that to write this post I had to try and understand what elements made it so familiar.
You can tell it’s British by the fact that there are two white vans and not a pick-up truck in sight.
White vans, no less.
This was my thinking
Based on the endless gray clouds I’m going to say UK (and also that they call a gas station a “garage” despite no mechanics on duty).
What do you call it, a “car hole”?
Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas

A full English breakfast is only half full if you don’t sprinkle it with some petrol.
Well you say that, but near the office park where I used to work there was a gas station that served as the outlet for a local sandwich place. All the sandwiches would get made fresh in the morning and be delivered just in time for lunch. They were awesome, there were lines around the block at lunchtime. They were known throughout the area. The sandwich shop also did deliveries for orders of 50 pieces and up, but the company I worked for only did that a few times a year. Haven’t worked there for over 15 years, but I still remember the taste of those sandwiches.
Check out caffe rel in Franklin, NC Nice restaurant, great food. It’s attached to a gas station.
It’s literally this lol
