The '''Birmingham Green''' is the landscaped portion of [[20th Street North]] between [[Morris Avenue]] and [[Linn Park]] in downtown [[Birmingham]]. The project was completed in [[1973]] at a cost of $5 million paid for by local business owners, local, and federal governments. Its construction involved the burial of utility lines and the creation of a more green, pedestrian friendly environment along the route. Today, 20th is the “greenest” street in downtown Birmingham with ample tree cover and flower lined medians. Some of the notable structures along the route include the [[Heaviest Corner on Earth]], the [[Frank Nelson Building]], the [[Farley Building]], the [[Watts Building]], the [[Regions Bank Building]], the [[Financial Center]], the [[AmSouth Center]], the [[AmSouth-Harbert Center]], and the [[Park Place Tower]].
