The Oliver Hazard Perry class is a class of frigates named after the American Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the naval Battle of Lake Erie. Also known as the Perry or FFG-7 class, the warships were designed in the United States in the mid-1970s as general-purpose escort vessels inexpensive enough to be bought in large quantities to replace World War II-era destroyers. Fifty-five ships were built in the United States: 51 for the United States Navy and four for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). In addition, eight were built in the Republic of China (Taiwan), six in Spain, and two in Australia for their navies. Former U.S. Navy warships of this class have been sold/donated to the navies of Bahrain, Egypt, Poland, and Turkey.]]>

The Alabama Theatre Pipe Organ is Wurlitzer Opus 1783. The legendary theatre organist, Jesse Crawford, laid out its design for use in delux venues for Publix Theatres, thus the designation by Wurlitzer as Style Publix 1. Its basic design included 4 manuals (keyboards), 20 ranks (sets of pipes), 8 sets of tuned percussion units, and all the sound effects needed to accompany silent movies. Eight additional ranks of pipes have been added to expand the tonal capabilities of the organ, making a total of 28 ranks (2008 pipes). ]]>

The Denny Chimes is a 115 feet (35 m) tall campanile equipped with a 25-bell carillon, located on the south side of the Quad of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama U.S.A.. The tower was named in honor of former University president George H. Denny, who served from 1912 to 1936 and again in 1941. Today, the tower is often recognized as the most visible landmark of the campus.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/denny-chimes/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/denny-chimes/ Sun, 31 May 2009 09:36:43 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/denny-chimes/ 33.21008600 -87.54633000 <![CDATA[Big River Airpark (5AL5)]]>

"Like all the hundreds of other Gravity Hills in the United States, Sylacauga's is a simple optical illusion. The roadbed and the surrounding terrain intersect at such an angle that downhill looks like uphill and vice versa. This Gravity Hill, like the others, has a body of folklore purporting to explain the phenomenon. The guilt-ridden claim Gravity Hill is the site of a Native American burial ground; cars roll the wrong way because ghosts are trying to push intruders off their land. Others claim Gravity Hill is the site of a buries meteorite with a powerful magnetic force. They may be thinking of the Sylacauga Meteorite, which isn't magnetic and which is now on display, above ground, in Tuscaloosa. Urban sprawl has destroyed many Gravity Hills as grading and paving smooth out the natural terrain, but Sylacauga's is still hanging on, for now."]]>

Joe's Truck Stop is a simple four foot thick wall placed at the bottom of a steep mountain road in Fort Payne, Alabama aka "sock capital of the world." The structure is reinforced with wire, pipe and the chassis from two Dodge trucks.

After one too many run ins, or perhaps a better term is run overs, of his front yard, ol' Joe Faulkner decided he had had enough and went about to put the brakes on these free wheeling good buddies who had whipped out every tree on his property.

The name Joe's Truck Stop was coined by local kids amused by the incidents. In 1950 alone, 13 rigs rolled through his humble domain. Every kind of truck from fruit to circus has taken a dump in Joe's yard.]]>

Boll Weevil Monument
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2009-01-31 12:23:30
The citizens of Enterprise, Alabama erected a monument to the boll weevil. It was, and still is, the only monument to an agricultural pest.

The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) was indigenous to Mexico, but appeared in Alabama in 1915. By 1918 farmers were losing whole cotton crops to the beetle. H. M. Sessions saw this as an opportunity to convert the area to peanut farming. In 1916 he convinced C. W. Baston, an indebted farmer, to back his venture. The first crop paid off their debts and was bought by farmers seeking to change to peanut farming. Cotton was grown again, but farmers learned to diversify their crops, a practice which brought new money to Coffee County.

Bon Fleming, a local businessman, came up with the idea to build the monument, and helped to finance the total cost. As a tribute to how something disastrous can be a catalyst for change, the monument was dedicated on December 11, 1919.]]>

Took part in the invasions of Luzon and Leyte in WWII.

On November 10, 1988, the Shadwell, decommissioned and now known as the ex-USS Shadwell, was transferred to the Fire Research Detachment, Little Sands Island, Mobile Bay, Alabama. She is serving as a test and training platform in the development of fire models and other damage and control systems. Shadwell is on the stricken list and will eventually be disposed of upon the end of her use as a test and training platform.

Shadwell was grounded on Little Sand Island in Mobile Bay, Alabama, as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The ship was removed from the position of grounding in 2006. A U.S. Navy Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit (MDSU) assisted with the project.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/dock-landing-ship-uss-shadwell-lsd-15-now-a-us-navy-damage-control-test-ship/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/dock-landing-ship-uss-shadwell-lsd-15-now-a-us-navy-damage-control-test-ship/ Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:20:42 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/dock-landing-ship-uss-shadwell-lsd-15-now-a-us-navy-damage-control-test-ship/ 30.66020600 -88.02786900 <![CDATA[Kennedy Raceway]]>

This high-banked 1/4 mile paved oval track closed in 1998. Several classes of street stock cars raced here on Friday nights. The track also went by the names of Jasper Speedway and Super Eight Speedway.

Not to be confused with a track with the same name in Clanton, Alabama.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/central-alabama-motor-speedway/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/central-alabama-motor-speedway/ Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:48:29 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/central-alabama-motor-speedway/ 33.80330700 -87.23987800 <![CDATA[Battleship USS Alabama (BB-60)]]>
