Located on West Commerce Street (Alabama Hwy 10), this disk is located in the lawn in front of a funeral home across the street from Magnolia Cemetery. It is between the end of the sidewalk and the driveway, and is easy to spot. It seems to have been clipped by lawnmowers, but is still legible. I found it on a Saturday, and it was quiet in the area.
The 1991 description from the datasheets reads:
