I was contacted through our Magic City Pipe Club's Facebook page by a local paper. I was a little suspicious of the reporter as some of her articles seemed a little on the... well, I just wasn't sure if she was going to make this a positive or negative article. So, I turned this over to one of our younger club members. Her and a camera person took tons of pictures of us at our last meeting, but then in the end, she decided to make it less about our pipe club and more about The Briary, which ended up being awesome. Check out the link. Homewood and Helena, are a couple of little towns side by side just outside of Birmingham that have that Andy Grffith's Mayberry, Norman Rockwell-esque-ness. Most men still wear hats, I have stood around the train station on a Spring afternoon, smoking my pipe talking with the mayor and his churchwarden, and the chief of police and his Dr. Grabow. Everyone honks or waves as they pass by; everyone knows everyone. Just a nice place. And, there is this place called The Briary, where men can still bullshit, backslap, and just enjoy hanging out with fellow pipesmokers, cigarsmokers, or just be around some of the world's most interesting people.
