Oxford is a small city on interstate 20, about sixty miles east of Birmingham in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills. Cheaha Mountain and the enormous Talladega National Forest lie just outside the city, providing a terrific venue for exploring the region’s natural beauty. Much of the community’s commercial activity is anchored by Quintard Mall on the north side, a popular shopping center surrounded by shops and restaurants. The legendary Talladega Superspeedway sits just outside the western edge of town, and NASCAR races reliably bring huge crowds to Oxford as well as the track’s namesake city farther south. In addition the close proximity to Birmingham, Atlanta is only about ninety miles to the east, putting two of the South’s most distinctive cities within easy day-trip distance.
