"Nifty little road behind the Summit"

It wasn't until I moved to the Birmingham area that I even realized there was a useful "area" behind the Summit. If you turn into Summit Blvd and keep on driving, it becomes Crosshaven Drive. Crosshaven is a nifty little street (and I mean little, it's pretty narrow) that runs through the heart of Cahaba Heights and eventually meets Overton Road.
Just off Crosshaven is a fair selection of knick-knack-type shops, coffee shops (including the hidden local treasure, Primavera Coffee Roasters), and several grocery stores such as Publix and Whole Foods. It's a great street, sprinkled with older apartments/townhouses and single-family homes. Even during the busiest hours of the day, it maintains a steadily moving flow of medium traffic. My only real complaint is the traffic lights--you can tell they were put there back when there wasn't much traffic, meaning there aren't actual left-turn arrows so there's often clogs of people having to yield on green. Not a big deal if you're patient.
