The Redmont Hotel has been a Birmingham landmark for 81 years. It has been renovated and now offers hotel and resident accomodations. Located on 5th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham, I think the flags and umbrellas provide a grand welcome to guests. I have fond memories of band parties held there after college football games at Legion Field, during my Auburn days.

I see a richness of reds again. Downtown Birmingham just knocks spots off the it's name sake. Well I publically named the sight today on the blog who steal images.
How can you remember post football games? I couldn't even remember the games, although, I do remember beating Auburn;I think they were referred to as The War Eagles then.
Yep, you are still on the red theme! LOL! I like this photo! It is a different look for Birmingham.
Very welcoming.
i see red in your future
The Redmont was the first hotel in Birmingham to offer a private bath in each room. Over the years it has been many things from a five star hotel to a bordello, but now is a very good hotel.
Love those red umbrellas. Kinda, sorta, maybe, possibly, reminds one a little teeny bit of Paree?
