WELCOME TO
BIRMINGHAM
f diversity were a place, it could very
well be Birmingham. People who
visit here get a taste of that variety--in entertainment, cuisine, the arts,
fun places, good times---that brings
them back time and again.
Bouillabaisse and barbeque.
Fried okra and foie gras. Sushi, sweet tea and
seven layer salad. Slab of ribs and rack of lamb.
Tapas and turnip greens. Martinis and meatand-three. None of these necessarily in combination of course. Just a wide wonderful range
of dining decisions in a city where food writers
from around the world congregate because of
its word-of-mouth reputation.
Diversity, of course, goes beyond cooking
and cuisine. So we have water recreation and
Wedgwood collections. Science centers and
skate parks. Mountain biking (the best) and
museums by the dozen. The zoo and botanical
gardens too. And diverse music? With strong
local roots, music is plentiful. Jazz, blues,
gospel, alternative, rock, country, bluegrass and
reggae---all live, all the time---rock our world.
By nature, what diversity first brings to
mind is the diversity of our people. Birmingham has long been known as the city
that changed the world through civil right
conflict and reconciliation. The community
has matured to acknowledge and embrace the
impact of our past, both negative and positive, on race relations. With a rich history of
Italian, Lebanese, Hispanic, Greek and Asian
immigrants, Birmingham benefits from the
gifts of many cultures. Today’s social scene
is a picture of diversity as well, with folks of
all ethnic backgrounds enjoying and learning
from one another, arguing issues of the day,
sharing professional and social time together.
The influences are all around us and beautifully
melded into the diversity of Southern culture…
in Birmingham.

how dramatically different
it was from the lives white
people of that era took for
granted. The powerful Movement Gallery presents the
Civil Rights Movement from
1955 to 1963. Here a picture
emerges of the bad old days of
“Bombingham,” a reference
to the relentless violence that
rocked the city in the late
1950s and early ‘60s. In the
final exhibits, the Processional Gallery uses life-size
figures representing all ages
and races to portray the “walk

18. Sixteenth Street
Baptist Church National
Historic Landmark
The Sixteenth Street Baptist
Church is Birmingham’s most
famous Civil Rights
landmark. On a September
Sunday morning in 1963, four
African-American schoolgirls
were in the basement of the
church just prior to the
worship service. A bomb set
by Ku Klux Klansmen ripped
through that side of the
church, killing 11-year-old
Denise McNair, Carole
Robertson, Cynthia Wesley
and Addie Mae Collins, all 14
years old. The bombing was a
turning point in the status of
race relations locally and
nationally. Now a National
Historic Landmark, the
church is a reminder of man’s
inhumanity and his capacity
for love and forgiveness. The
sanctuary of the church
contains a massive stained
glass window of Christ, given
in memoriam from the people

National Historic
Landmark

years of Birmingham’s history and the technology that
drove America’s rise to world
industrial dominance. Sloss
is the only 20th century blast
furnace in the country being
preserved and interpreted as a
museum. Additional interest
at Sloss is the speculation that
the furnaces are haunted by
a former foundryman. Open

the 56-foot-high statue has
an observation balcony on its
pedestal for a panoramic view

god of the forge, a nod to the

Downtown Birmingham
Investigating downtown
shopping is an adventure in
itself. Start out at BB’s China
& Glassware (2427 1st Ave.
North) where you’ll find an
enticing assortment of dishes
and glassware, some bearing
the logos of defunct hotels
from around the country,
along with Fiesta ware and
seconds at good discounts.
Walk over one block to 2nd
Avenue North where you’ll
find Charm (2329 2nd Ave.
North), a delightful little
boutique with new and
vintage handmade jewelry,
purses, scarves and more. Just
across the street is Faith Skate
Supply (2328 2nd Ave. No.) for
skateboarding enthusiasts.
Then head up the street about
half a block to What’s on
Second (2306 2nd Ave. No.)
for an eye-feast of vintage,
antique and unusual items.
Move on to downtown
20th Street to the historic
Bon Ton Hatters, where
you can get your hat steam
cleaned while you get the best
shoeshine in town. Just off
20th on Third Avenue North
is a treasure trove of memories
at Reed Books (see Arts and
Antiques section). Back over
to 20th Street and south a few
blocks is the Peanut Depot.
Stop in for treats or just to see
the beautiful old roasters that
are still in use. Head further
south down 20th into historic
Five Points South. A good
photo background here is
“The Storyteller,” a fountain
designed by Birminghamnative sculptor Frank Fleming.
While in this district,
stop in at Charlemagne
Record Exchange, if only
for the atmosphere and
the personnel. Also check
out McNolia’s Cards and
Gifts for funky stuff and
The Golden Temple, where
herbal supplements are sold
alongside Birkenstocks®.
www.downtownbirmingham.org
Downtown Homewood
Old-style shopping along
main street in the
Birmingham suburb of

areas are linked by tree lined
sidewalks. English Village

end boutiques and home
furnishing stores. (Don’t
miss a stroll through Smith’s

scene, Pepper Place is your
destination. Pepper Place,
an old Dr. Pepper syrup
plant houses an eclectic mix

antiques and architectural
stores. During the spring
and summer months, tourists
and residents alike flock to
