Were in the ‘Ham can you find a top-hatted skeleton riding a bicycle?
Give up?
On any given Saturday from 10am-4pm take yourself on down to 2300 1st Ave North to a little place called Birmingham Oddities. There you’ll find my buddy Adam and his strange collection which includes DeadElvis (the bare-bones cyclist). Adam has got everything from a penguin skeleton, elephant foot, and specimens in jars to human skulls, two headed crow, cow skull chair, and more, so much more.
If you’re up for the unusual, rare, or downright weird I suggest you put a visit down on your to-do list. The entire place is like an awesomely morbid curio shop. To top it off Adam is very knowledgeable about his shop’s contents so you’ll come away with an education.
If you get the notion, be sure to ask Adam about the building Birmingham Oddities is housed in. The Fix Play building was built in 1910 and was originally a space designated to sell business and retail fixtures. Part of the shop resides in the old elevator shaft. See, even the shop space is unique.
If you can’t make it out on a Saturday you should at least check out Birmingham Oddities’ Facebook and Instagram.
