I’d like to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve visited The Terminal during the last year.

28th Anniversary celebration, Jim Reed Books

Posted on March 8, 2008 | Comments Off

We’re not the only ones celebrating an anniversary on March 14.

Jim Reed Books has known a few locations around Birmingham but still serves as its unofficial Museum of Fond Memories. Definitely consisting of much more than books, it has become an institution for many in The Magic City.

Cost: Free

Location:
Jim Reed Books
2021 3^rd Avenue North (directions)
