Why attend First Avenue South Corridor Walking Tour?
Wondering what makes Birmingham’s First Avenue South Corridor worthy of a Birmingham Walking Tour? It’s a pretty cool and historic spot, actually. Here’s some backstory for you.
Just a block away from the Railroad Reservation, First Avenue South is home to some of The Magic City’s most recognizable attractions, including Railroad Park, Rotary Trail and Regions Field.
During the the First Avenue South Corridor Walking Tour, you’ll be led by local architect Cheryl Morgan on an exciting journey through the history and beauty of this important Birmingham location—both past and present.
Learn from special guest Cathy Sloss Jones
In recent years, Birmingham has undergone an endless stream of redevelopment and revitalization projects. Many of these projects would not have been possible without the work of Cathy Sloss Jones, President and CEO of Sloss Real Estate Company—an urban development firm founded by her great-grandfather.
Through her role, she has led significant development projects in Downtown Birmingham. One you may be familiar with is Pepper Place.
What does this have to do with Birmingham’s First Avenue South Corridor Walking Tour? Jones is part of the tour, joining as a special guest tour guide!
When you participate in the tour, you won’t only get first-hand knowledge from someone who loves Birmingham, but someone who has also helped bring it to life in brand-new ways. Pretty cool, right?
