OT: Cheaha Mt
The restaurant there in the park is actually very good. I've heard they have a great breakfast buffet, but I've only had dinner there. The walk to Bald Rock is always nice, it's actually handicapped accessible, which means its an easy walk!
Top of the River has a location in Anniston, about a 30min drive from the park. In Oxford, you'll find an Olive Garden, Long Horn Steakhouse, Fuji Japanese Steakhouse, Cracker Barrell - well, you won't be hungry. The Quintard Mall isn't bad for shopping and has a movie theater. There's also the Oxford Exchange w/Target, TJ Maxx, Ross, Dress Barn, Kohls, Hobby Lobby, and lots more.
If you like museums, check out the Anniston Museum of Natural History and the Berman Museum - http://www.annistonmuseum.org/
I'm about out of ideas - if I think of anything more, I'll send you a PM.
