Surprisingly tall, shiny, and out-of-character. Sheffield sits next to Muscle Shoals, famous for its rock 'n' roll session musicians.

The Rock-n-roller (officially "The Singing River Sculpture") is looking good, if not the stone facade on the circular garden around him. Easy on-street parking all around as the roads converge in front of him.

The town is undergoing a major renovation. There are new restaurants and shops opening almost daily. It is a very old town with a lot of history in music and industry. Take a drive around and you will find some amazingly beautiful southern "mansions."

Add a few more metal rocker giants and Sheffield could become a formidable oddball destination!

This sculpture is very large and interesting! The town itself seems deserted, but there are a couple of cool shops. [Danae, 06/09/2014]
