My family and I were on a quick day trip to Birmingham and we were staying at the nearby Marriott when we walked over to see some of the civil rights sights nearby. On our walk we came across this mural. Located directly across from what appears to be the science center. Very hard to miss and a cool and colorful piece. I see a few more murals throughout the city and this was one of my top ones I came across.

As much as insensitive, out of touch people, politicians, or organizations may feel, being reminded of the atrocities committed by their fore parents, we as Americans of indigenous/african descent must endure the pain of oppression, injustice inflicted on our fore parents and threatened to repeat every day, it's a part of our reality politically and socially. These museums provide us with a baseline for freedom deferred also the intestinal fortitude and courage that sustained us.

Me and my family were in a short statue in Birmingham and staying at the nearby Mariott hotel we decided to walk to the nearby civil rights sights and when we did we stumbled upon this mural almost immediately. Overall amazing piece that leaves a mark on you. Teaches valuable lessons and illustrates them very vibrantly. The artist did a great job conveying and showing there intended message.

I visit Uptown regularly.

I haven't stayed at the hotels in the district since I'm a local, but maybe a staycation should be in my future. It's definitely a cool spot in the city. One recommendation I have would be for the restaurants to stay open later. While this doesn't necessarily affect me, I've heard attendees complain about how the businesses close fairly early and if you're leaving an event in the area, there's nothing to eat or do. I'm not sure what it would take to make this happen, but I think it's worth a try. Regardless, go visit Uptown!

The city has done a kid to create an area with lord of dining and entertainment options for those in Birmingham. With those amenities comes less parking, but I've found that arriving earlier, if possible, always helps with that aspect.

This is surprisingly a nice park. I had no idea who Eddie Kendrick was. Luckily I was with my mom…read moreand she knew right away that he was one of the Temptations. He was the lead on such hits as "The Way You Do the Things You Do", "Get Ready", and "Just My Imagination". I was like wow. I know those songs. This is a nice tribute to Eddie. The park has a lot of benches with very good shade cover. It is a pocket park and not very big, but still pretty neat. The center piece of the park is a statue of Eddie on a stage with some singers in the background. It is very original and awesome. My mom said that it looked just like him. If you look closely you will see music notes on the ground in the path and names of temptation songs above the stage. There is a plaque in the park that tells a little about Eddie There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance from the park, which is free after 5PM. This is a very nice park that is near many attractions such as the 9/11 memorial garden, and the Civil Rights Museum. It is a decent place to hang out and the statue provides a unique photo opportunity. This park is well done and a nice tribute. It is definitely a must see if you are in the area.

Me and my family is on a quick stop in Birmingham on our road trip from Louisville to Destin and wanted to check out the nearby civil rights landmarks and sites in the area. After seeing those historic sights we stumbled upon this cool little memorial. Beautiful area with sidewalks filled of musical notes and a very cool statue of mr Kendrick and honors to him and the temptations. Overall very cool and fun park that I'm glad we stumbled across by accident. My kids had a lot of fun on the memorial stage and making clever poses.

Lol I'd never been to Avondale Brewery but the location is massive. Really nice stage and green space for relaxing, but of course the beer was the perfect accompaniment to the burgers we got to sample. 4 local restaurants all competing for voter's choice and I was so happy my choice ended up winning! (Craft Burger) seriously all of the options were delicious and the sample portions were a good size. There were even chips and tea/coffee for the non beer drinkers. It was super hot that day so I appreciated there being some tables and areas with shade and misters. The Live music was also really nice as well as meeting the different vendors (Top Golf & others), plus it's great knowing the proceeds from this event went to a great cause (ALS foundation). Awesome Saturday afternoon well spent.
