Andrea Lucas Studios is an eclectic stained glass and folk art studio located in the historic Irondale area, directly next to The Irondale Cafe.

One of the best known religious sites in Birmingham is EWTN, the Eternal Word Television Network, founded by Mother Mary Angelica.

The Irondale Cafe began in 1928 as a hot dog stand. Bess Fortenberry purchased the business around 1932 from Maggie Prentice, who had added hamburgers, barbecue and a variety of sandwiches to the menu.
