Forgotten Alabama

-I think a lot while on the road. For the most part, I have little human contact but, this being Alabama and all, I’m never really alone. –Glenn Willis

Author/photographer Glenn Wills spent over 30 years and half a million miles travelling for TV news and spinning his wheels through the state of Alabama. He decided to document his journey in a book all about Alabama’s forgotten and abandoned treasures. These “treasures” include his love for urban decay in old abandoned buildings, cars, trucks, schools, anything that served the public in past history. The images displayed in his book have been collected over the last eight years. From the really interesting to the nearly non-descript, all of the images, at least for now, still exist before time and nature eventually decide their ultimate fate. The Homewood Library invites you to join us Friday, March 17, 2017 at 1 p.m. in the Large Auditorium as Mr. Willis regales us with the tales of his travels and findings throughout our beloved state. In the thousands upon thousands of pictures he’s captured this “love affair” has only begun. Glenn Willis has only scratched the surface and he’d love to share his passion with you. Books will be available for purchase and a signing will take place after the program. We look forward to seeing you there.
