The drive through cocktails from that spot toward Cotton Valley are also something you can't get anywhere.

A hallmark movie was filmed in Clinton. Can’t remember the title but everyone who ever watched one knows the plot. They blocked Main Street one day to film down there. I drove by and was asked to drive my truck down the street during filming, I had to sign a release and everything. They paid me nothing to do it but it never made it into the movie

It's known as America's City

Tennessee Williams was born and raised in my hometown. Also have a ton of old antebellum homes and an old cemetery where confederate and union dead are buried which probably isn’t that unique for southern towns but cool nonetheless

The king and queen of the Gypsy’s are also buried in your home town. Also hometown the Threefoot building. Also, meridiandog once lived there. At onetime, had really good Vietnamese poboys, but sadly, no more, at least that I was able to locate. At one time had two really well run Popeyes chicken places.

There are about 35 miles of world class mountain bike trails near my hometown. It's a place that when you learn it is there you just kinda say, "Huh...Who would have ever thought this would be in this part of Alabama?"

It's named after a red stick.
Lots of STD's.

Korner's Folly
We also have a Spring Folly every year which is very nice and family oriented. Live concerts, rides, crafts, food.. all weekend. It takes over historic downtown and Harmon Park.
Pretty fun time.
Also, I don't know of an area that has more classic car shows...

Körner’s Folly is the architectural wonder and home of artist and designer Jule Gilmer Körner. Built in 1880 in Kernersville, North Carolina, the house originally served to display his interior design portfolio. Visitors can now explore the 22 room house museum and its unique original furnishings and artwork, cast-plaster details, carved woodwork, and elaborate hand laid tile.

Earnest Hemingway wrote parts of A Farewell To Arms in a little shack on his in-laws property... in the 80s when I was a kid it had been abandoned and we hid Skoal and Playboys in there. It's been rehabbed since then and is part of a museum.
Andy Griffith starred in A Face in the Crowd which was filmed there, some of the scenes were in the yard of the Hemingway in-laws estate mentioned above.
