seeking out north alabama possibilities
 

Hey - I'll be driving to Athens in early May (from Tennessee) and am wondering the best place to park for the night. Would like a motel that's pretty OK for cruisers - would like to be near an ABS or something. Decatur, Athens, Huntsville - or somewhere near. Any suggestions? Can't seem to find any bookstores/theaters without heading all the way to B'ham. Thanks.
