An afternoon at a lunch counter. A thousand arms linked at the elbow. A firing line of water hoses. A pack of German Shepherds. A letter from a Birmingham jail. A devastating explosion. A world that would never be the same.
The Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau has launched the all new IN Guide phone application. The app is based on a printed guide which features more than 270 of the city’s best loved local spots as deemed by residents. The new app enables users to quickly navigate, explore and discover some of the best things Birmingham has to offer.
Birmingham’s historic Kelly Ingram Park, site of civil rights rallies, demonstrations and confrontations in the 1960s, now offers visitors a guided audio tour through their mobile phones.
It's May! It's May!

Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes!
The lusty month of May!
--- Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
