THINGS TO DO
Karaoke
If you’re looking to reassure the folks of
Calhoun County to never stop believin’,
you’re in luck: karaoke is a Northeast Alabama
institution, with karaoke almost every night
of the week. Local spots like Heroes American
Grille in Weaver, LocoMex in Jacksonville,
the Crimson Tiger in Anniston and even
Applebee’s in Oxford have karaoke nights to
let your inner Journey and Def Leppard loose
in public.
Trivia
Maybe you’d like to show off your deep
knowledge of the Power Rangers, 80s music or
historical oddities. Whatever the case, plenty
of businesses hold trivia nights, like LocoMex
8
in Jacksonville, Struts and the Peerless Saloon
in Anniston.
Bike Riding
Anniston is a biking town, with the Noble
Street Festival in Spring centered around
bicycle culture, riding and competitions.
During the average month, you can still find
a tons of biking opportunities, like riding the
Ladiga Trail, taking a mountain bike up to
Coldwater Mountain or joining up with the
Northeast Alabama Bicycling Association, a
tight-knit crew of cyclists who have meetings,
races and fun rides regularly. Visit neaba.net
to register with NEABA, and visit Wig’s Wheels
in Anniston if you need help with your setup
— tell Wig we sent you.
