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 meat-andthree. 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.

15. Kelly Ingram Park
Called a “Place of Revolution and Reconciliation,” Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham’s Civil
Rights District is adjacent to the Birmingham
Civil Rights Institute and historic 16th Street
Baptist Church. The park served as a staging
area for demonstrations in the early 1960s,
including the ones in which police dogs and
fire hoses were turned on marchers. Images
of those attacks haunted Birmingham in the
decades that followed, but they were the same
images that were instrumental in overturning legal segregation. An audio tour, available
via your cell phone, takes you on a journey
through the most dramatic days of the Civil
Rights Movement in Birmingham. Bounded by
16th and 17th Streets and 5th and
6th Avenues North.

21. 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 of Wales following the
bombing. Tours by appointment. Donations
welcome. 1530 6th Avenue North. 205-2519402. www.16thstreetbaptist.org
22.Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark
Sloss is a 32-acre blast furnace plant where
iron was made for nearly 100 years. Now a
museum of history and industry, the site
preserves a collection of machinery, buildings
and industrial structures. These artifacts
typify the first 100 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 Tuesday – Saturday,
10am – 4pm; Sunday, noon – 4pm. Donations
welcome. 20 32nd Street North. 205-324-1911.

Vulcan is the largest cast iron statue in the
world and Birmingham’s city symbol. Standing high atop Red Mountain, the 56-foot-high
statue has an observation balcony on its pedestal for a panoramic view of the city. Vulcan
is patterned after the mythical Roman god of
the forge, a nod to the city’s powerful position
in the iron and steel industry in the first part
of the 20th century. The statue was created as
Birmingham’s exhibit in the 1904 World’s Fair
in St. Louis and won the exposition’s grand
prize. The museum at Vulcan has interactive
exhibits and displays that portray the region’s
history and progress. Museum open Monday

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.
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. 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 Birmingham-native 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 at The Golden
Temple, where herbal supplements are sold
alongside Birkenstocks®. www.downtown
