'''2nd Avenue North''' (or '''Second Avenue North''', formerly just '''2nd Avenue''') is an [[east-west avenue|east-west street]] running through [[downtown Birmingham]]. The street is so named from [[Center Street]] in the west (where it becomes [[Tuscaloosa Avenue]]), continuously through downtown, to [[29th Street North]], after which it dead ends.
'''2nd Avenue North''' (or '''Second Avenue North''', formerly just '''2nd Avenue''') is an [[east-west avenue|east-west street]] running through [[Birmingham]], one block north of, and parallel to [[1st Avenue North]]. The street is so named from [[Center Street]] in the west (where it becomes [[Tuscaloosa Avenue]]), continuously through downtown, to [[29th Street North]], after which it dead ends.


Sections of 2nd Avenue North reappear between [[32nd Street North|32nd]] and [[35th Street North|35th Street]]s, between [[47th Street North|47th]] and [[52nd Street North|52nd Street]]s, between [[53rd Street North|53rd]] and [[54th Street North|54th Street]]s, and again east of [[Trotwood Park]] between [[71st Street North|71st]] and [[78th Street North|78th Street]]s. A short stub of 2nd Avenue North runs toward [[East Lake Park]] from [[80th Street North|80th Street]] near [[I-59]], then resumes between [[85th Street North|85th]] and [[86th Street North|86th Street]]s near [[Roebuck]].

The area surrounding 2nd and [[3rd Avenue North]] near the Alabama and Lyric Theatres is considered the heart of Birmingham's [[Theater District]]. The section between [[22nd Street North|22nd]] and [[25th Street North|25th Street]]s is part of the [[City Center Loft District]], utilized for the annual [[ArtWalk]] festival.


The area north of 2nd Avenue between [[11th Street North|11th]] and [[14th Street North|14th Street]]s was once known as [[Baconsides]], and was particularly hard hit by the [[1873 cholera epidemic]]. 2nd Avenue North is the setting for the fictional "Olympia Gym" in the novel and film, ''[[Stay Hungry]]''.

The section of 2nd Avenue between [[20th Street North|20th]] and [[24th Street North|24th Street]] is part of the [[Downtown Birmingham Historic District]]. Until the mid-1980s, [[Red Mountain Expressway]] terminated at the 2nd Avenue North offramp. During that decade rows of [[Gingko]] trees were installed along 2nd Avenue as part of the city's urban tree planting project, guided by [[Nimrod Long & Associates]]. In general, female trees were planted on the north side of the street and males on the south side.

Wilborn Service Station and Wilborn Construction Co. at 830 2nd Avenue North

2nd Avenue North (or Second Avenue North, formerly just 2nd Avenue) is an east-west street running through Birmingham, one block north of, and parallel to 1st Avenue North. The street is so named from Center Street in the west (where it becomes Tuscaloosa Avenue), continuously through downtown, to 29th Street North, after which it dead ends.

Sections of 2nd Avenue North reappear between 32nd and 35th Streets, between 47th and 52nd Streets, between 53rd and 54th Streets, and again east of Trotwood Park between 71st and 78th Streets. A short stub of 2nd Avenue North runs toward East Lake Park from 80th Street near I-59, then resumes between 85th and 86th Streets near Roebuck.

The area north of 2nd Avenue between 11th and 14th Streets was once known as Baconsides, and was particularly hard hit by the 1873 cholera epidemic. 2nd Avenue North is the setting for the fictional "Olympia Gym" in the novel and film, Stay Hungry.

The section of 2nd Avenue between 20th and 24th Street is part of the Downtown Birmingham Historic District. Until the mid-1980s, Red Mountain Expressway terminated at the 2nd Avenue North offramp.

MAX Transit Route 1 and MAX Transit Route 3 take 2nd Avenue westward to Elyton.
