Where to find Birmingham’s best neon

Where to find Birmingham’s best neon

Birmingham has many iconic neon signs. A more in-depth story about Birmingham’s history of neon appeared in the Spring 2015 issue of Exodus Magazine, and can be found here.

The best way to experience these iconic lights, however, is to venture out past sunset and find them yourself. Here is a guide to Birmingham’s best neon. Click images to be directed to a Google map for directions.

 

The journey begins in Homewood, with an iconic funeral home, a locally owned pet store and a specialty jewelry repair shop.
