All About Birmingham

Nicknamed “The Magic City,” Birmingham’s small-town charm and Southern hospitality will enchant those fortunate enough to call this vibrant city “home.” Despite Birmingham’s humble beginnings in iron and steel production, which earned it the designation “Pittsburgh of the South,” Birmingham’s modern, thriving economy has expanded to make it a hub for other industries like banking, insurance, biotechnology, and medical research. By far the most impressive skill of this spirited city is its capacity to continuously and successfully re-invent itself, most recently as a destination for historic architecture, retail, and award-winning food. In fact, the city is home to “the Oscars of dining,” with an abundance of  James Beard Foundation Award winners and nominees. In just 2018 Chef Frank Stitt, an 11-time nominee, took home the award for the Most Outstanding Restaurant in America for his restaurant Highlands Bar and Grill. Additionally, Birmingham is home to numerous historic landmarks, including America’s oldest baseball park, ample music halls, notable museums, and the list continues. Rest assured that Birmingham’s incredible selection of attractions, entertainment, and eateries will leave nothing to be desired. Without a doubt, its metropolitan charm, Southern elegance, and rich roots make Birmingham one of the best kept secrets of the country. The best part is, MD Realty can let you in on the secret.
