Jim Davenport's Pizza Palace- Mountain Brook

First thing, YUM!!!!  Don't go in there hungry, Because I wasn't even hungry when I walked in the Door and the aroma in the air when you walk in is SO GOOD that you want pizza ASAP! The pizza is I think some of the best in town. It's a thin Crust Pizza that is round, but cut into small scrumptious square pieces! Its definitely a NO FRILL pizza place as the menu is minimal, but it doesn't matter, all you will want is the pizza anyways! I cant say the workers are overly friendly, but, you wont mind bc the pizza is so delicious! I've heard on the weekends or game days you must order your pizza early bc they are SO BUSY!!

A few pics from my visit:
The menus are on Wooden Pizza Boards! So Fun!

Mmmmmmm, Almost all gone!

Urban Cottage- Crestwood

Urban Cottage

Located where Sol Garden was before. It is a Fabulous little gift/art shop that is such a great find!

Don't limit this cute store to a gift store alone, It has some wonderful one of a kind artwork pieces, baby gifts, jewelry, furniture and home accessories!  They have benches and swings made out of old car hoods. They are Absolutely Fabulous. The owner who was behind the counter, Katherine, was a doll and so nice and very helpful! Can't wait to go back in there and do some shopping. They said they would be getting a bunch of Christmas accessories in so keep that in mind for Christmas shopping and decorating!
