Avondale, Woodlawn & Crestwood

The Avondale, Woodlawn, and Crestwood neighborhoods are so close to the city center, you can almost reach out and touch it. And yet they feel like a world away. There’s a laid-back vibe to these sister 'hoods that sets them apart — the perfect blend of urb and suburb. Some mark them as ground zero for the Magic City’s recent renaissance, and much of what’s going on here frequently lands Birmingham on the national stage. Jam-packed with great places to grab a bite or a beer, catch a gig by local and national touring bands, and shop! New and used vinyl, funky antiques and furniture, vintage clothes, art and objets d’art can all be found a hop, skip, or five-minute car ride away. Slowing down more your speed? There’s family-friendly parks a plenty, coffee shops, and even a speakeasy-style bar to wet your whistle.

Seasick Records is an independent record store specializing in new and used vinyl (with a smattering of cassettes and CDs thrown in for good measure) located in the Shoppes of Crestwood—also home to Urban Suburban, Crestwood Coffee, and Crestwood Pharmacy & Soda Fountain. Seasick’s also a venue, hosting intimate rock shows (there’s a stage!), art openings, and other community gatherings. Owner Daniel Drinkard, a guy about as affable as they come, is always happy to talk music and offer recommendations. Need a haircut? Seasick also happens to be home to Newman’s Classic Cuts—a two-chair barber-style shop (by appointment only) where Newman Evans and A.P. Suaze offer up slick cuts and slicker conversation.
