Heaviest Corner on Earth

The Heaviest Corner on Earth is a promotional name given to the corner of 20th Street and 1st Avenue North in Birmingham, Alabama, United States, in the early 20th century. The name reflected the nearly simultaneous appearance of four of the tallest buildings in the South, the 10-story Woodward Building (1902), 16-story Brown Marx Building (1906), 16-story Empire Building (1909), and the 21-story American Trust and Savings Bank Building (1912).

David was amazing! My head was spinning with his phenomenal knowledge of the Birmingham area! I cannot say enough good things about his tour. My husband and I got a real "feel" for the city, got to see the highlights of the city and even had a great lunch at the "Garage". I felt thoroughly spoiled after he dropped us off at our hotel! One of the things that impressed me the most is that David actually LOVES Birmingham and is a vibrant resident of the city. We've traveled extensively and this is a very unusual quality!

This was such an interesting tour. My husband and I had never been to Birmingham. We saw most of the main areas of the city. Our guide was extremely knowledgable about the city’s founding, growth, cholera epidemic, rebuilding, and civil rights movement. He was able to give us lots of interesting information about everything we saw (or drove past). The tour starts at Vulcan Park which was beautiful. It sits high on the mountain and overlooks Birmingham. Our guide personally took us through the museum there and we learned about the city’s history of mining and iron smelting as well as the Vulcan statue. The highlight for us was the Negro Southern League (Baseball) Museum. We are baseball fan’s and loved it. Our guide was knowledgable about every exhibit there. Four hours was not nearly long enough, but we felt like we got a great foundation in Birmingham’s history to do more exploring on our own. Well worth the time and cost.

I loved my highlights tour with David. He was so informative and engaging. He gave me a better understanding of the city and some of its facets: food (I did not know about white barbeque so will have to try), the history of the negro league, civil rights and architecture. Will have to return to try the other tours like the ghost walk with my posse to celebrate my birthday. What a find!
