"You stay classy, Birmingham!"

Fashion-wise, I'd say the whole decade was one big "goof."	"Toys, Guns and Yo-Yos!"
You'll go back back back for 'cue 'cue 'cue?	"Oh!", indeed.
	No shortage of movies to see in the Magic City.  (Although I think I'll pass on Disco 9000, thank you)

BIRMINGHAM REWOUND recalls 
the Burt Reynolds movie Hooper.

Much of Hooper was filmed in this area ... places like the Lynns Park bridge on U.S. 78 in Walker County, and the Locust Fork crossing on 78, taking advantage of a recent tragedy -- when a tanker truck exploded on the original truss span months earlier, causing it to collapse.

	This appears to be about as close as the News photographers were able to get to Burt Reynolds!
