December 10 -- Birmingham to Charlotte

I started the day in Homewood, just outside of Birmingham, with coffee and a muffin at an independent café, Coolbeans.

I took I-20 (and a return to the Atlantic time zone for the first time in more than a month) to Atlanta, and I-85 through Greenville and Spartanburg, SC up to Charlotte, not far over the NC border.

The drive was warm and sunny, with the temperature close to 80° throughout, and I arrived in Charlotte around 5:30 p.m. Pics below:

Even though the temperature stayed warm. It started to look like winter just past Atlanta.

Atlanta seems to be a vibrant and diverse FM radio market, including a large number of religion-oriented stations. It was curious to hear these radio stations and, at the same time, to see these billboards just north of the city. (I captured 4 of 6, positioned in rapid succession, at the side of the road):
