Either way, the city is famous for its metropolitan flair in a small-town package. Its nickname “The Magic City” was born from Birmingham’s sudden growth back in the 1870s, when the railroad industry spurred the city’s climb from a tiny working-class town to a major commercial hub. Today, Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama and boasts a cultural diversity that creates a magic of its own. Culturally, Birmingham is home to the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, Alabama Ballet, dozens of professional theatre companies, and an impressive Broadway Series calendar. Meeting planners are lured by the city’s collective 220,000 sf of exhibition space, 14,000 guest rooms, and an international airport that sits only seven minutes from downtown. —By Amy Cates 100 mimegasite.com JULY 2008 SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS
