Magic City, Birmingham, Alabama Editorial Image

A city of real magic. Nestled right in the hills of Central Alabama—roughly two-to-three hours from the booming Atlantas and Nashvilles of the Southeast, Birmingham, Alabama makes its presence known. This Iron City has a history of boldness. From those first industrial innovators who came to literally build a city from the ground up in the 1880s, to those leaders and seekers of justice and equality who walked the Birmingham streets during the Civil Rights Movement.
