I live in Birmingham in England and it's just pants! You can't get a decent pie anywhere. There's nowhere to park. The local radio station plays rubblish music. The roads are like driving on safari. I'd much rather live in Nottingham or Birmingham Alabama.
@meljohal that sucks.... but at least there in england you dont have homicides every night. or arent afraid to walk the sidewalk at night fearing bullets in your spine from some idiot who saw you wearing a "wrong" color like here in alabama. i live here. believe me you wouldnt like it here. cheerio!
bitch u lame 4 dis weekass video..dis jus downtown birmingham ..video da hood bitch..an fuk ehbodii who got sum badd to say boud wat i jus said..yall kno yall cnt ride thru da hood takin pictures..get yall ass dumped on
@Woedie3 Man, thats comical. A comment like that would only come from someone that has given up on life and forgot about all that blacks have gone through to be seen as human beings and you're setting us back 400 years. The new plantation is the prison, thats why so many blacks are there. Scared to think outside of the box and be great and just settle to be mediocre. Let there be light!
bitch u lame 4 dis weekass video..dis jus downtown birmingham ..video da hood bitch..an fuk ehbodii who got sum badd to say boud wat i jus said..yall kno yall cnt ride thru da hood takin pictures..get yall ass dumped on
Everybody keeps talking about gangs in birmingham, but in reality gangs are what make up the city. therefore no gangs no city. any major city in any state gangs run them. you might not notice they do, but they've gone underground so they won't be caught.
When do you here about the mafia and all other white gangs?? almost never it's because they have the money to go underground and do their work. Black gangs don't have the time or money to do that.
@acidviper13 i dont get it.....why do citys have like gimmicks/themes to them? ( new york the big apple).......( LA the city of angels)........( chicago the windy city) ect.........i dont get it
Reading all those comment about race. The Birmingham in England is the same but alot of it has been taken by muslim. Some areas are just muslim only. It was big with textile and tailoring due to the large number of jews but now the clothing is run by immigrants from India,pakistan and Turkey. Also the accent from Birmingham UK is the worse in the country they sound slow and stupid.
If you are looking for a great place to eat in birmingham, Jensei (Its a sushi restraunt) in soho village is a WONDERFUL place to eat. We ate there when we visited and it was GREAT!
Its' few saving graces, the theme park (Alabama Adventure - liked the name "Visionland" better) and its' musicians, especially the jazz and blues artists, some of the best in the world, & they deserve a lot better than here. Birmingham itself overall? A classic example of what can happen to a city when it doesn't keep up with the future , a very boring, stagnant, powerless, co-dependent place. You'd be surprised at how many people that live here truly hate it . Tragic wasted potential of a city.
it is one of the Most dangerous Cities in American, and Also one of the most Beautiful cities here, and it can be Racist here at times, People are very Honest and Straight forward, Blacks,Whites, and the hispanics, which also may be the cause for our extreme crime rate, and whats worse we still get beat up by cops, and i do mean all of us, too much shooting and fighting even in our politics, we could be such a great city, only if we worked together.
you all say there is nothin to do in b-ham well i just moved from there to moulton ala and it SUCKS ASS!! 10,000 people in the whole county the largest buildin in the county is walmart i miss my hometown
If u hate Birmingham, come to Atlanta. There's LOTS AND LOTS more stuff here to do. Just don't move to the southside of the city or the SE suburbs( most crime or drugs are there).
Trekker, are you talking about the Lynn Park downtown near the county courthouse?
If so, there was a time I would have agreed with you, in fact, that 's where I got married 4 years ago...It's depressing to see now. For what it's worth, I love the Southside in Autumn, especially Caldwell Park. The southside's the only part of town that resembles what city life should be like
Not true at all. I live in Northside and you should take a walk down 2nd Ave N. some time. Thats where I live and things are happening there. Its probably the best neighborhood I've every lived in. I don't go to Southside because it seems generally more dangerous.
This is a city that could be so much better. Alabama is run by mostly regressive politics, so decay was everywhere even before the economic downturn. As a southerner from Virginia, I couldn't believe how racist it was here. Sure, it was there in Virginia, but here it just smacked you in the face. But it is a beautiful place. I just wish they would repair the roads.
@bamadawgsc What a ridiculous statement. Alabama was controlled by Democrats between the end of reconstruction up until the 1990`s, and they still generally have a hold on legislative representation and have a large edge on voter registration, but Republicans like Bob Riley are very pro-business and the economy in Alabama has been doing quite well in recent years.
I don t know I have visited BHM(Hoover) as a foreigner from OC,CA and it seemed to be so boring place as fuck to me!!BTW Adventure park is for kids..6flags are 4 grown up ppl!!Ppl are so rude and stuck up!!I just don t know why...they are NOT even attractive ppl!!! Plus me as a european and my fiancita being a latina we didn t get to many positive feedbacks!!...those ugly fat fckn rednecks!!damn i hated them so much!!Oh yeah and many blacks are racist 2!! I MEAN ALMOST EVERYBODY!!! :(
well it was more likely that they were shitting in their own panties :) when I dropped out my body w a 18" biceps redneck!! get some facts before you open your fuckn clueless mouth!!!bitch!!! xD
Yea to Bad Jefferson County Is Broke As fuck, The City is overRun By Dumb ass Gangs And wanna be thugs, so glad i live on the outskirts, i couldnt drive on the shit roads of the inner city everyday, that and i would be worried id have to shoot someone, WE SHOULD OF VOTED YES ON THE LOTTO RETARDS
At the start of this year around the time you posted this comment, we were the murder capitol. I love Birmingham! I've lived at Terrace court (above Dave's pub at 20th and Highland South) for 10 years.
Love daves. I have several friends that work there and have been a patron for years. wish they could do somethign about the bums and street crime in the area though.
Theres only passing criminals. There are several "bums" as you say, that are truly just homeless people that I have let into my apartment during cold nights and such. Please don't be so quick to judge because not all of them are bad. HERMAN for example: He is the man with the LONG dreadlocks that rides the bicycle and dresses real funky! You won't meet a more honorable man in the courthouse downtown. They are indeed from a dfferent state of mind but I have been in that position.
By do something about them i mean find them homes. thats wut the welfare & section 8 programs are 4 & people that need it dont have it & people that dont need it do have it. There actually quite a few passing bums that hang around there as well trying all sorts of scams. & have seen a few of them quite cracked out on several occasions. the actual resident homeless there rly dont bother people that much other than try 2 socialize some. I worked in 5points for yrs. hermans pretty cool,
Would I know you, perhaps? I worked at The Grill when it was The Mill, and at Mellow Mushroom before it was closed down and re-opened. I was with Leigh Perreault for a while until March of this year, I've played music in Bailey's and Base Camp several times. My name is Joshua Lee. Myspace url: joshlee4music.
hey again! sry! and, just a heads up for the people who's plannin' to visit birmingham, alabama. u should rly try going there near halloween! the sloss furnace is open for like a scary thingie. ive never been but i think im gonna try it out this year. anyway. byezzzz!!!!
i'm from birmingham, alabama. it does kinda get scary sometimes. theres a bunch of gangs n stuff. but,btw, if ur gonna take a trip there, watch ur back. and all the clubs n stuff is over on south side in birmingham. have fun!!! bwhahahaha!!!!! jk. well. anyway, bye. lolz. sry. hyper.
Unfortunately it looks like with Obama as president we are about to steal your socialist economic system too. As opposed to our highly successful capitalistic system.
Man America is a melting pot with people from all over so yeah your going to see things from other countries, other cultures, that's what makes us rock.
Only if you're black and live in eastlake or westside or someplace like that. And if you're white don't go to those places or you'll be shot. But downtown itself is as safe as you could want it to be.
eh, i live in birmingham and... well its not that great.. these pics are great and make birmingham look good, but its really not after like a week.. its all old news
@Bsim834 hey that is part of my home state and my Grandfather is the governor so plz don't make fun of how Birmingham looked it looks better now!!!!!!
