MONROEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" is always nearby in the southwest Alabama town of Monroeville. The quiet city is the birthplace and current home of the 89-year-old author, and it inspired the fictional town of Maycomb in her Pulitzer Prize-winning book about race and injustice in the Deep South of the 1930s. And with the "Mockingbird" sequel "Go Set a Watchman" just days away from publication, Monroeville has sites aplenty that draw fans searching for remnants of that "tired old town" where attorney Atticus Finch defended a wrongly accused Tom Robinson while Finch's children Jem and Scout watched from the courtroom balcony. There's a Mockingbird Inn and a restaurant named for Boo Radley, the recluse-turned-hero in the book.
