  1. BHS, you mean the park across the street with the statues of police officers hosing down protesters and letting german shepherds gnaw at little kids? Yeah that took some explaining too. After a little while in that park I was like “just get in the car kids, we’re going to Tupelo.”

  2. I had a former college roommate who worked at the Birmingham Civil Rights institute for a year. He was the only white guy on a staff of 20 or so.
    He really enjoyed it there.

    I worked about 4 blocks away from it for 7+ years. It really is a nice museum, as is the park across from it with various statues depicting the civil rights struggle.

  3. “but my conscience wouldn’t allow me to cheat on my (korean american) girlfriend.”

    Given everything I know about Koreans, I bet you were more afraid she’d cut your nuts off, or at least go into a tirade and smash everything in the house!!!!
