Pie Lab

Greensboro, Alabama

04.25.2011 | by: Meghan

One of the big reasons we decided to stop in Greensboro, Alabama (just after Magnolia trees) is the Pie Lab–part humble pie shop, part ambitious social change experiment. Started in Belfast, Maine two years ago by the design collective Project M, the Lab, which opened as a pop-up, has grown into a permanent fixture in this small Alabama town of 3,500.

It’s a hot, sunny day, and a Mason jar of sweet tea has never tasted so good. I tell the woman helping us that we drove all the way from Detroit to visit the Pie Lab, and she walks out from behind the counter to give me a hug. There’s a photo shoot underway in the back, and moveable, reclaimed wood-slab walls are covered with photographs by a local artist in the front. We get two slices of mixed berry pie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and buy two whole pies for Easter dinner–the mixed berry and a coconut cream. All deliciousness aside, this place is every bit the community center it was intended to be. Folks walk in and out, and it feels like one, big ongoing conversation with different characters floating in and out. We were honored to be a part of it for a small slice of an afternoon. Special thanks to Marvin (below) for being so hospitable, making the most amazing sweet tea, and for having the idea of selling pecans to raise money for GED scholarships.

For more photos from the road, go to the Lincoln-Designtripper site!

The icons in the Ultimate Fire Link China Street slot machine are made up the red paper lantern, a food steamer, a green teapot, and a fortune cookie for the highest paying wins. The lower paying symbols are made up of the ace, king, queen, jack, 10 and 9. The lantern symbols also doubles as a wild symbol, and there is a Fire Link feature that has a flaming fireball for a symbol as well as a neon sign scatter symbol that says Free Spins.
