I walked the 4 corners and was amazed. The buildings are beautiful and the architecture is amazing. I can see why it may be the heaviest corner in the world. The magnitude of these buildings contributes to that title. It is in a great location and accessible to two hotels, the Elyton and Marriot hotel and suites, Total Dermatology and the John Hand Building. You can catch a bus from North to South from the Sheraton Hotel, Legacy Area, Uptown, Westin, and Protective Stadium to SoHo - Homewood!

I can't believe none of the locals knew about this place. I mentioned it to a few people and they had no idea what I was talking about. It's an interesting historical fact about birmingham's steel history.

Forgotten History... Asked around and no one had any answers as to what was the history of this corner. Had to use the interwebs to find out.

Is this even true fact? I am sure NYC has some much heavier intersections. Pretty boring street side attraction nothing to see here.
