Over the years, barber shops became known as places for men to sit around and talk to each other much like women do in beauty salons. Cook’s Barber Shop in Collinsville is no different. Open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, this 69-year-old shop provides haircuts and conversations for local residents.

- Small Collinsville Church Has Big Heart

When it comes to churches in Alabama, it seems the largest denominations are the Baptists and Methodists. Of course, there are of other churches ranging in all sizes. For a young black woman who wasn’t raised partial to either church and experiencing mostly black churches growing up, I found myself drawn to nondenominational churches just because they seem to be more in line with my way of worship and thought.
