Welcome to the Dinner Table of the South BIRMINGHAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING OF A PLACE APART. Compared with many of its southeastern counterparts, this is a young city, springing from gutsy beginnings in the iron and steel industry and evolving into a major medical center in the U.S. Though Birmingham is Alabama’s largest city, it has retained inviting Southern traditions and a sense of counting family and friends important, not population statistics.

Birmingham is widely known as the “Dinner Table of the South.” Defining

highlights these days are connected to a flourishing food scene. From James Beard culinary award winners to the world’s best barbecue, the city’s food culture has attracted national attention among those in the know.

There, tourists from around the globe find the world’s largest collection of antique and contemporary motorcycles and Lotus cars.

It’s a banquet for bike enthusiasts and a feast for the eyes for everyone.

An American revolution took place in the streets of Birmingham in the 1960s. The city was Ground Zero for the Civil Rights Movement, with police dogs and water

THE HEAVIEST CORNER ON EARTH “The Heaviest Corner on Earth” isn’t really the heaviest corner on earth, of course. But it is a striking tribute to Birmingham’s miraculous growth in the early 1900s and an important legacy from the city’s formative years.

The Heaviest Corner on Earth refers to a grouping of four early skyscrapers anchoring the downtown intersection on 20th Street and First Avenue North. The structures heralded Birmingham’s coming of age at the turn of the century when the smokestacks of heavy industry belched the soot and grime of prosperity.

From 1903 to 1913 seven skyscrapers sprang up in the flourishing downtown district.

The four at the main intersection created an unusual massing, setting the scale for their successors. The towering giants were monstrous in comparison to the delicate design of the 19th century buildings along First Avenue.

The residents of Birmingham were sure the dominance of these soaring structures made the intersection “the heaviest corner on earth,” and they proudly proclaimed it so.

When passersby through this busy intersection gaze upward, the massive group of buildings still has a powerful effect. Their contemporary counterparts just a few blocks away are, of course, much bigger, and more commanding than these turn-of-the-century skyscrapers. But standing at that intersection, surrounded by their compelling dignity, you can understand exactly why it once felt like the heaviest corner on earth.

MLB at Rickwood Field “The oldest professional ballpark in the United States and former home of the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues, Birmingham’s Rickwood Field, was chosen

by Major League Baseball as the site of a special Regular Season contest between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants on June 20, 2024. This experience, scheduled around Juneteenth, includes a tribute to the Negro Leagues and its greatest living player – Hall of Famer, Giants Legend, Birmingham native and Birmingham Black Barons player Willie Mays.

‘I can’t believe it. I never thought I’d see in my lifetime a Major League Baseball game being played on the very field where I played baseball as a teenager,’ said Mays.

MLB collaborated with the Friends of Rickwood and City of Birmingham to renovate Rickwood Field for 2024, transforming the National Historic Site to host a Major League game. Additionally, Rickwood Field is hosting a Minor League contest between the Birmingham Barons and the Montgomery Biscuits on June 18. The Barons called Rickwood Field home during three different time periods (1910-1961, 1964-1965, 1981-1987). The Barons, who now play in downtown Birmingham at one of Minor League Baseball’s best stadiums, Regions Field, still play one game at Rickwood Field every season in tribute to the organization’s history there.

The history of Rickwood Field is unmatched, with some of the game’s greatest players stepping foot on its hallowed grounds. These players included Mays, Hank Aaron, Yogi Berra, Roberto Clemente, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Josh Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial, Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, and so many more…”

Birmingham's Civil Rights District: A Must-See for Visitors IN ONE OF HIS FINAL ACTS AS PRESIDENT, Barack Obama signed a proclamation naming the Birmingham Civil Rights District a national monument.

Birmingham was Ground Zero for the civil rights campaign in 1963, an era marked by attacks and jail cells on one side and nonviolence and the resolute certainty of a better tomorrow on the other.

The national monument encompasses historic sites downtown that were significant to the revolution that took place in the streets of Birmingham in the 1960s. One of those sites is the city’s most famous civil rights landmark, the 16th Street Baptist Church. In the basement of the church on a September Sunday morning in 1963, a dynamite bomb set by Ku Klux Klansmen ripped through the side of the church, killing four African-American schoolgirls. Killed in the bombing were 11-year-old Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley and Addie Mae Collins, all 14 years old.

The bombing horrified the nation and the world and was a turning point in race relations in the country.

In honor of the 60th anniversary of the bombing, US Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, visited the 16th Street Baptist Church in 2023 to speak at a memorial service celebrating progress and honoring the past.

Included in the national monument district is Birmingham’s Bethel Baptist Church, credited with shaping the Civil Rights Movement here. Civil rights legend, the Reverend Fred L. Shuttlesworth, was pastor of Bethel Baptist Church from 1953 through 1961. The church often served as a gathering place for discussions of civil rights among Blacks, gatherings that angered white supremacists. In 1958, Bethel Baptist was bombed, though the church was empty at the time. The bombing cemented Shuttlesworth’s fiery determination to bring Birmingham to

LEFT: RANDAL CROW; RIGHT: KIM GRAHAM SMITH

AT T R ACTI O N S

the center of the Civil Rights Movement.

The national monument includes historic Kelly Ingram Park. The park served as a congregating area for demonstrations in the early 1960s, including the ones in which police dogs and fire hoses were turned on marchers by Birmingham police. Images of those attacks haunted Birmingham in the decades that followed, but they were the same images that were instrumental in overturning legal segregation.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the Colored Masonic Temple, St. Paul Lutheran Church and portions of the 4th Avenue Business District, which arose from Blacks being shunned by white merchants, are included in the national monument.

Also part of the designation is recently

renovated and reopened A.G. Gaston Motel, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. met and collaborated with allies during the Birmingham campaign. The motel housed activists such as Dr. King during his time here planning the Birmingham campaign in 1963.

Crews worked intentionally to preserve the building’s character of that era.

At Sloss Furnaces Historic Landmark, a new historic marker memorializes two lynching victims from the late 1800s. More markers are scheduled to be erected to mark local lynchings that took place during racial violence in the U.S. from 1877-1950.

With its unrivaled place in American civil rights history, Birmingham has been called “the city that changed the world.”

From antiques and boutiques to shopping malls and outlet malls, Birmingham makes it easy to shop ‘til you drop.

Downtown Birmingham

Investigating downtown shopping is an adventure in itself. Start out on Morris Avenue where you’ll get a whiff of the fresh aroma of roasting peanuts at Alabama Peanut Company and around the corner on 1st Avenue North check out the dapper Bridge + Root men's clothing store. You’ll also find good restaurants and bars on Morris and in the 2nd Avenue area. Just off 20th on Third Avenue North is a treasure trove of memories at Reed Books (see Arts and Antiques section). Head further south down 20th into historic Five Points South where the “The Storyteller,” a fountain designed by Birmingham-native sculptor Frank Fleming, is located. Also check out The Golden Temple, where herbal supplements are sold alongside Birkenstocks® and gifts from around the world. alabama.travel/road-trips/birminghamtaking-it-to-the-streets-downtown

The breathtaking natural beauty is just the beginning. With countless activities and a mild year-round climate, getting out in Birmingham is everything an outdoor adventure should be.

Hiking and Outdoor Enjoyment ALDRIDGE GARDENS Aldridge Gardens, a 30-acre natural garden with a 5-acre lake, beautiful hydrangeas and now features the largest Frank Fleming Collection in the area, an art gallery on site and sculptures throughout the property.

Aldridge Gardens is truly Birmingham area’s “best kept secret.” Aldridge Gardens, Nature and Art in Balance. 3530 Lorna Rd, Hoover FOR MORE INFORMATION: 205-682-8019 or aldridgegardens.com AVONDALE PARK Recent major renovations at Avondale Park led to revitalization in the area with the opening of Avondale Brewery, new restaurants, a pub and a fresh market. The 40-acre park has a 1,000-seat outdoor amphitheater, a large villa for events such as weddings and family reunions and a rose garden. The park also has small lake, baseball fields and other areas that are often in use for sports activities and cultural events. The park lies between 40th and 42nd Streets South and 5th Avenue South and Woodvale Rd. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 205- 254-2391 MOSS ROCK PRESERVE This 250-acre preserve has boulders for climbers of all skill levels. It is home to four rare plant species, rock outcroppings, streams, waterfalls and wildlife. The wilderness within the preserve continues to improve as hardwoods grow and age and trails become more defined by continued use.

For maximum mileage, take the loop made up of the Blue and White Trails, which is a little more than 3 miles long. Or just spread out in the shady coolness of the preserve and picnic. Please remember to take only pictures and leave only footprints.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: 205-444-7866 or ci.hoover.al.us

GETTING THERE: From I-459 in Birmingham take Exit 10 onto Alabama 150. Turn east toward downtown Hoover. Turn left on Stadium Trace Parkway. Stay straight; this road becomes Sulphur Springs Road. Go about two miles to the intersection with Preserve Parkway. This road leads to Moss Rock Preserve and to parking for the boulder field.

OAK MOUNTAIN STATE PARK Alabama’s largest state park offers plenty of trails for hikers who want a peaceful outing apart from the mountain bikers. New park goers might want to try the Eagle Trail or Treetop Nature Trail for starters, but those are only two of many. The Peavine Trail, fourand-a-half miles round trip, is moderate to difficult, but it’s still a popular hike because of the payoff: It leads to Peavine Falls, which cascade down a rock wall and splash into a pool below.

Three suggested hiking loops begin at the North Trailhead. Maggie’s Loop is an easy two-and-a-half-mile walk. North Loop is three-and-a-half miles long; it’s rated easy to moderate because of some ascents.

Shackelford Loop is rated moderate to difficult because of its six-and-a-half-mile length. Maps for these and other Oak Mountain trails are available at the park office.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: 205-620-2524 or alapark.com FRONT GATE ENTRANCE: Take exit 246 off I-65.

Turn west onto Alabama 119, left at the first light on State Park Road. Follow one mile to stop sign, and turn left onto John Findley Rd through the front gate into the park.

BACK GATE ENTRANCE: Take U.S. 280 to Alabama 119. Follow three miles to left turn at Oak Mountain Public Lake sign.

Canoeing and Kayaking CAHABA RIVER Alabama’s longest river is a great place to canoe or kayak. Just remember along the way that you’re sharing space with several rare and protected fish and the imperiled Cahaba Lily which once thrived across the southeast.

Floating down the Cahaba’s gentle waters provides a pleasant respite and a close-up look at some of the interesting species. If you’re looking to make a bigger splash, head to the river’s northernmost portions for some Level I-III whitewater rapids.

The Cahaba River Society hosts canoe trips down the river, including day trips, moonlight trips and overnight canoeing.

Popular outings are the Lily Trips, which run when the rare and endangered Cahaba Lily is in bloom, from mid-May to mid-June.

Trips are free with your own canoe and reservations are required.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: Cahaba River Society, 205-322-5326 or cahabariversociety.org.

For boat rentals: Alabama Small Boats, 205-424-3634.

GETTING THERE: Take I-59 North to Tallapoosa Street Exit (Tarrant). Take Alabama Hwy. 79 North through Cleveland (about 40 minutes).

MORE DISHES THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A FORK AT The Award-Winning Dinner Table of the South Fast becoming the premiere destination for foodies across the southeast, we have something for every palate. The combination of established, award-winning chefs and the hottest up-and-coming talent has created a community dedicated to the culinary arts that has a flavor all its own, and one regularly recognized by the esteemed James Beard Foundation.

Described as the “Oscars” of the food world, the James Beard Awards were established in 1990 by the James Beard Foundation to “recognize culinary professionals for excellence and achievement in their fields and furthers the foundation’s mission to celebrate, nurture and honor chefs and other leaders making America’s food culture more delicious, diverse and sustainable for everyone.”

Past Birmingham James Beard winners include…

• Adam Evans, Automatic Seafood – Best Chef: South (2022) • Highlands Bar & Grill – Outstanding Restaurant (2018) • Dolester Miles (pictured), Highlands Bar & Grill – Outstanding Pastry Chef (2018) • Chris Hastings, Hot & Hot Fish Club – Best Chef: South (2012) • Bright Star in Bessemer – American Classic (2010) • Chef Frank Stitt, Highlands Bar & Grill – Best Chef: Southeast (2001) Greater Birmingham chefs received two more nominations from the JBF in 2024. Chanah Willis, owner and chef at Last Call Baking was recognized in the ‘Emerging Chef’ category, and Helen owner and chef Rob McDaniel made the short list for ‘Best Chef in the South.’

New twists on southern classics. European-inspired creations. Down-home soul food. We have just the dish you are looking for.
