Break from the shackles of traditional guidebooks and bid farewell to the crowds. Free your mind of dull comparisons with Venetian canals. You deserve better and this is the quite interesting stuff you didn’t know you wanted to know. From City Centre to open road, more than 100 unconventionalities await you and they’re all free to see. It’s the street museum of the marvellously mundane, the gratis gallery of graveyards and graffiti. Box fresh oddities are revealed. Age old myths flaunted on shiny plaques are exposed. Uncover astonishing life stories and tragic deaths of Brummies you may not have heard of but won’t be able to forget. If you prefer sofa centric exploration, every chapter is brought to life with exclusive photographs and illustrations.

Book Description

It was called the Magic City – a bright, shiny new boomtown following the misery of the Civil War. Birmingham was teething on steel as a brash Wild West town with gambling, shootouts and famous madams. When the steel died down, banking and medical industries settled it into a sophisticated city with a famed culinary scene, a broad entertainment district, and striking natural beauty. The colorful past remains in a juke joint, quirky museums and a mining trail turning into a greenway. The city changed the country with its notorious struggle, preserved in churches, parks and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. The city is experiencing a new boom in the restoration of its historic downtown, craft beer scene, up and coming new chefs, and an explosion of music venues. The Magic is back. 100 Things to Do in Birmingham Before You Die is your guide to discovering that magic!
