About 22 miles southeast of Birmingham.

A small community presumably named after the limestone quarried nearby. This stone was used in construction of the Logan Martin Dam. The abandoned Justice store stands at the crossroads. Next door, an old house with gingerbread decoration is being restored.




Some history here.

My Goals

The purpose of this blog will be to document my exploration of the obscure yet interesting places in the world--beginning with my backyard.

I intend for this to be a reference for myself and perhaps for others.

The plan is to post at least one spot every week and to spend at least one weekend per month touring to someplace new.
