Anyone here been to the Muscle Shoals area?

I know Fame Studio is there. Anything else to check out in the area? Will be nearby on Saturday (~45 min away) and wondering if it's worth the trip, since I've never been.

You are in gods country. Not much to get out and do, but driving certain areas is just knowing that we didn't come from tadpoles.

Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers

Wilson Dam, Natchez Trace, a lot of things if you have time to spend. Most of it is spread out and just nature stuff. It is a beautiful part of the country.

Check out the Swamp Bus.

You say 45 minutes away. Are you going to be in Huntsville by any chance?

Definitely not a ton of hot spots. Fame is being run as an operating studio again, and it might not be what you expect.
The Shoals/Florence area has some reputable golf courses and the Tennessee runs through there. Some good outdoor activity.
Huntsville is nearby with more to do. Downtown has improved over the last few years, more bars, microbrews, etc.
If that's not enough, Nashville is up the road. Lynchburg, too. I've enjoyed the Jack Daniels.

Brown Sugar recorded there by the world's greatest rock and roll band. True story.

Downtown Florence, AL is surprisingly a pretty cool area. It's small, but they've got a fair amount of shops, bars and restaurants to keep you busy for a day.

My roommate from college is from there and played football for curley hallman.
I went once to pick up some furniture with him. Place seemed pretty boring.

Lived here all my life (42 years) not a lot to do, unless you want to fish or play golf. Muscle Shoals Sound in Sheffield is the other old studio and I am pretty sure it's a museum now. The Alabama Music Hall of Fame is in Tuscumbia if it's still open (I heard it was struggling financialy but not sure). As far as downtown Florence, I have heard there is a lot to do there now, my cousin and his wife go there a lot. The Natchez Trace is scenic just watch out for deer and turkeys.
The Marriot is really nice, as is the resturant in the tower beside it. If you like golf check out the Robert Trent Jones courses. Pickwick Wheeler and Wilson lakes all offer world class bass and crappie fishing. Like the other poster said Huntsville has a lot more to do and is about an hour away. Sorry I can't be of more help, since my back got so screwed up I don't get out and do as much as I use to. Any specefic questions you may have I'll do my best to help out if I can though.

I'm from Florence. Muscle Shoals is kind of a wash other than the recording studios. I'd visit downtown Florence and walk around if I were you. You can go to the D2 campus of UNA and see the lions, Leo and Una. Eat at Bunyans BBQ (get both bbq sandwich and slaw dog). Check out the Wilson Dam area and walk by the river bottom by the dam.
There's not a whole lot that goes on here but it's a simple nice little area.
Hope this helps out. It's alway nice coming back home since I live in ATL now. It's a completely different pace of life. Refreshing.

The Tennessee River is gorgeous over in the Shoals. One of the more underrated spots in America.

There are no Monday's there. Also the Helen Keller museum and home are in Tuscumbia. Actually it's pretty good. Stay at the Marriott resort and play both Robert Trent Jones courses.

Fame studio, old MCA studio and the original one on Jackson highway..Alabama Music Hall Of Fame in Tuscumbia, The Coon Dog Graveyard Memorial, drive a little bit down the Natchez Trace, do a tour at one of the TVA dams nearby, great Native American Museum at UNA with some incredible artifacts.

Cathedral Caverns is supposed to be pretty nice.
