Discovering the Charm of Birmingham’s Suburbs
Birmingham, Alabama, is a city rich in history and culture, but its surrounding suburbs offer their own unique attractions and character. At Grissom Service Company, we’re proud to serve these diverse communities, and we want to share some of our favorite spots with you.
Hoover: A Shopper’s Paradise
Hoover is known for its excellent shopping opportunities, particularly at the Riverchase Galleria. But beyond retail therapy, Hoover offers beautiful outdoor spaces like Moss Rock Preserve, perfect for hiking and rock climbing enthusiasts.
Mountain Brook: Quaint Village Life
Often referred to as “The Tiny Kingdom,” Mountain Brook is a collection of charming villages with upscale boutiques and restaurants. Don’t miss the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, which straddles the border between Mountain Brook and Birmingham proper.
Vestavia Hills: A View from Above
Vestavia Hills boasts some of the best views of Birmingham from its hilltop locations. The community is home to the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest, an architectural marvel nestled among the trees.
Trussville: Family-Friendly Fun
Trussville is rapidly growing and offers plenty of family-oriented activities. The Trussville Sports Complex is a hub for youth sports, while the Cahaba River provides opportunities for fishing and kayaking.
Homewood: Eclectic and Vibrant
Homewood’s downtown area, centered around 18th Street South, is a vibrant mix of local businesses, restaurants, and shops. Don’t forget to visit Homewood Park, a green oasis in the heart of the city.
Irondale: A Taste of the South
Irondale may be best known as the home of the original Irondale Café, the inspiration for Fannie Flagg’s novel “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.” But there’s more to explore, including the charming Grants Mill Road area.
