Phil Campbells and the Recovery of Phil Campbell, Ala.
Would-be conventioneers continue to aid a tornado damaged town that shares their name
It’s pretty safe to say that Phil Campbell loves Phil Campbell. And vice versa.
They're an unlikely couple who’d have to try pretty hard to be much more different. One’s a novelist from Brooklyn. The other is a small town in northwest Alabama, about 90 miles from Birmingham, that’s home to roughly 1,100 people. What Phil Campbell the man and Phil Campbell the town do have in common is obvious, and yet something as simple as a relatively ordinary name has become the basis of a deep connection between the two.
