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.

It doesn't look much heavier than any other corner.

I'm too lazy to ask what makes this the heaviest corner on Earth, and I'm quite suspicious about the claim, to be honest.

The building adjacent looks much heavier than, say, a bag of donuts. I'm sure I couldn't lift it. But, come to think of it, I don't think I could lift any street corner, nor slide a scale underneath

If I were on a road trip in pursuit of the world's heaviest corner, I'd start my search in New York, or Chicago, or Los Angeles.

Visually, it's a pleasant area. Right downtown in the commercial district. And if you came to Birmingham to see the world's heaviest corner, and you find yourself let than amazed, well, check out Railroad Park, and Vulcan (world's heaviest lioncloth-clad pagan statue), and Pickwick Plaza, and Avondale. If you're exceedingly disappointed, lift your spirits at Alabama Adventure, which has an awesome array of...
