Eight years ago, a store like no other of its kind opened in Birmingham. What’s on 2^nd has quickly become a Birmingham treasure chest – overflowing with unique trinkets in every single corner. No matter how many times locals flock to this quirky store, every time they turn their head they will see something new! What’s on 2^nd has turned into locals’ go-to store for awesome gifts, and a place for tourists to kill hours at a time.

What’s on 2^nd is located at 2306 2^nd Ave. North in Birmingham, so if you are new in town, or even just passing through, Birmingham movers recommend that you get sucked into this black hole of 20^th century trinkets and collectibles.

As reported by Jay Reeves for Alabama.com, “The restroom is packed with Elvis Presley memorabilia — all for sale — and a witch shares shelf space with a giant Virgin Mary decoration in the holiday department upstairs. A toy Darth Vader stands sentinel beside a poster from the 1960s musical ‘Hair’”.

Look up and look down and you will find something that is sure it catch your attention. What’s on 2^nd is decorated wall to wall, floor to ceiling, with hundreds of items that store owners Steve Gilmer and Ian Philips have collected to sell, all with the same theme of what they call “tacky, tasteless, or irreverent.” Although that may not sound alluring, Birmingham movers and locals alike, assure out-of-towners it is a sight that you will not want to miss!
