We took a trip back to Nate’s college town and weren’t sure what to expect.
Turns out, this quiet corner of Northern Alabama has changed a lot!
This is where Aretha Franklin found her sound and the Rolling Stones recorded some of their biggest hits.
Florence is the heart of it all: walkable downtown with local restaurants and shops, the only Frank Lloyd Wright house in Alabama, and easy access to nature like Cane Creek Canyon’s waterfalls.
If you’re tired of the same tourist traps and want music history + small-town charm + unexpected nature, this should be your next weekend trip!
Have you been? What did we miss?
