Great location with lots of great places to eat. Fills a huge need for the south Birmingham suburbs.

MarcoRP believed it was at the Lowe's, not the mall across the road. So, better order ahead.

It's pretty much all a part of the mall and crossing that street should be a big deal except maybe around the holidays. Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell, Books A Million, Wal-mart, Moe's Southwest and Full Moon are all very walkable even from Lowe's. Jim N Nick's sadly is probably not doable since its up a big hill and Buffalo Wild Wings also probably too far.
Note that Electrify America is currently in this mall today.
Typically, it takes 2-4 weeks after install for sites to go live... at least at every SC install I've followed.
Looking at Google maps and that is not a very convenient location. It is a long walk to just about anything but Lowes.
Somehow not surprised that Alabama calls this a "promenade" but there's not a sidewalk or even a crosswalk in site. Hedgerows block any access from the parking lot to the road you would need to cross to get to restaurants and shops (I don't know about you, but I don't buy a lot of lumber when I'm on a roadtrip). This isn't so much on Tesla as the shopping center designers, since the location has great proximity to the shops and restaurants, just those shops and restaurants are clearly designed for people that want to pull their gas guzzlers right up to the door. We'll probably get our full moon to go and have a picnic in the parking lot, although if it looks like we can walk, could definitely use the steps to burn that off!
I stopped by here while passing through the area (and on my way to the EA site at the Walmart nearby). Trenching has begun. Big site!
I got takeout BBQ at Full Moon up the street before charging. Better than Jim and Nick's (which is a low bar, I know).

Sir, get out of my car right now! Jim and Nicks is much better than Full Moon!
If you're looking for good BBQ on the road, Jack's BBQ in Nashville is very good. If you're in the Portland area, there's a food truck in NE Portland called Matt's BBQ. Probably the best BBQ I ever had at Matt's BBQ, and I'm from Texas. Put your fists down and get the burnt ends and the jalapeno cheddar sausage.
You're welcome.Similar threads
