Pizitz Department Store: Locked up Tight

Posted by: Naaman 

 The Pizitz downtown flagship department store was built in 1925. The building was completely shut down in 1988. The parking deck was added next to the store in 1965, with a skywalk that took shoppers into the store. Today, entry requires ninja skills of over 9,000, a grappling hook and a friend. The site offers rooftop adventures thus far unparalleled in Birmingham.

  3. The owner's belongings are all in the basement of the parking deck. Fraternity composites, family pics, personal effects. Pitch black.
