Gadsden, Alabama Travel Guide

INTRODUCTION
Gadsden is located in Etowah County, Alabama. Known as the City of Champions, this city is famous for the Lookout Mountain Parkway. This parkway features the Noccalula Falls Park, which is Alabama's number one natural tourist attraction.

ATTRACTIONS
Gadsden is the southernmost point of the annual event, the World's Longest Garage Sale, which stretches down U.S. Highway 127 from Gadsden to Covington. The sale is held annually on the first or second weekend of August. Visit http://www.tourdekalb.com/yardsale.htm for more information.

Baby items, antiques, and more, can be found at yard sales and local businesses along this route. Also, good food can be found at the local churches and the volunteer fire departments, who raise funds for various charity organizations.

Handcrafts by talented artists, and canned foods of great flavor are also offered. This is the ultimate experience for the garage sale fanatic, and the adventure is well-worth the drive from Houston.

DINING
If you are a fan of really good barbecue, you do not want to miss the Bama Rib Shack, located at 512 Main Street West. Pick up your food at the counter, and have a seat on the benches out front.

My husband, who has been asked not to return to several buffets, could not finish his rack of ribs. My stuffed potato was the size of a small football. We could have made two meals out of what we were given for a very reasonable price.
