A resource for mid-century modern architecture in Birmingham, Alabama and beyond. Saturday, October 30, 2010. A Mid-Century Mystery - what is this place? So, feast your eyes upon what appears to be a swingin' spot on Drummond Lake. Where is Drummond lake, you ask? Why, it's just south of I-459, between the Grants Mill Road and Liberty Parkway exits, north of Overton Road. You never knew it was there, did you? That's why I'm here, mod babies, to keep you in the loop. The rest of us are dying to know.

A resource for mid-century modern architecture in Birmingham, Alabama and beyond. Thursday, February 23, 2012. These are the adorable wares of my friend John, known as "Le Luni" at his etsy shop.

I meant to post these wonderful clocks around the holidays, but time got away from me. However, I know all you mod babies have those tax refunds burning holes in your pockets about now.
