Alabama NewsCenter — Step into Birmingham, Alabama’s downtown history and food scene with new Geotourist app
By: Carrie Kwarcinski
Downtown Birmingham’s dining and beverage scene is more alive than ever, and now visitors can taste the history on a walking tour featuring interviews from chefs and owners of 11 restaurants in the central business district.
Southern Foodways Alliance partnered with Michelle Little, oral historian and audio producer, to create the one-mile walking tour, which displays the beauty in the stories behind the buildings but also reflects a new life and culture represented through cuisine and cocktails.
The inspiration behind the project was to learn more about why unique, historic buildings like Birmingham’s First National Bank, and what is now known as Founders Station, remained vacant for many years.
