Parliament House Hotel... It's Time To Say Goodbye!

Bob Hope, President Nixon, Doris Day, Ray Charles, Joe Namath, and Bear Bryant... They all have one thing in common with hosts of other dignitaries, celebrities, and athletes. They all spent time at the Parliament House Hotel in downtown Birmingham.

On Sunday, February 17 2008, Birmingham said goodbye to an old friend who went to the rubble grave with lots of memories. Sunday morning it was imploded and crumbled to it's grave.

So, goodbye Parliament House Hotel...

You can see the video below.

The Birmingham News did a piece on the hotel and it's destruction: Parliament House hotel, home to both celebrities and squatters, to be imploded Sunday

Stephen, it saddens me a little when we lose landmarks.  The only thing that never changes is change itself.

Wow, it's always sad to see a building with such a history go...but I guess that is somethings what has got to happen!

Bob, it does seem odd that we tear down for progress. This seemed odd to me that this week they also announced a new hotel to be built down town?
