Look for this impressive mural by Patricia Martin right around the corner from Irondale, Alabama's most famous tourist attraction. The "Whistle Stop Cafe" of Fannie Flagg's southern epic of friendship, racism, and murder, is loosely based on an actual restaurant, the Irondale Cafe in Irondale, Alabama approximately between 1915 and 1935. Stop by and admire the artwork and the restaurant's famous fried green tomatoes, while passing trains across the street provide proper ambience.
