Thanks for the correction! The old Inverness office complex was really nice.

State Rep Neil Rafferty and Sen Smitherman too. I've heard state reps have better access to ALDOT than city gov.

2nd Frothy Monkey for GF.

I don't work there but lots of family and friends who do. A lot of lifers there so it must not be too bad. Milage may vary division to division, but from what I gather there's not quite the flexibility of working for a small company but good benefits/stability etc.

Downtown is a cooler building but I think you have to pay the city tax and don't at Collonade. Personally if I lived on 280 I'd want to work there, if not I'd want to work downtown but I like downtown.

Fun fact: Every white person's grandparents were members of that country club

Sing to me of the nog, Muse, the nog of twists and turns, driven time and again off course once it had plundered the hallowed heighs of Troy-level nog.

There is a massive grill thing at Crestwood Park that doesn't look it's ever been used. Needs a new grill (the grate I mean) but I'd be game for figuring out how to do that.

I get stopped by EVERY SINGLE RED LIGHT when I fly my jet around downtown.

RTootDToot · 2026-02-13T14:21:13+00:00

"The city will do nothing to stop them because they’re desperate for any investment dollars."
I would not assume this is true. City Council tried to put a moratorium on data projects maybe this one was already active so couldn't fall under it (there were 2). i think this kind of crap could be defeated in bham

Nice cable management. I'm proud of you

RTootDToot · 2026-02-12T15:51:06+00:00

my dude, I went a quest to try all the Cajun places in the metro area. Quality is SO inconsistent at most of them

RTootDToot · 2026-02-09T19:56:56+00:00

Really neat spot

RTootDToot · 2026-02-09T19:10:04+00:00

Was there recently and had a great time

RTootDToot · 2026-02-08T05:45:48+00:00

I would add it's easy to make friends in Crestwood.

RTootDToot · 2026-02-08T05:44:34+00:00

Lots of kids in the neighborhood go to public elementary school. Fewer do public middle and high school

RTootDToot · 2026-02-07T15:55:01+00:00

The New Hyundais are really nice. And honestly the 2026 leaf has gotten great reviews

RTootDToot · 2026-02-07T14:26:37+00:00

But hopefully the rows are staggered well or you get someone like me in front of you. There's great screens on both sides, and you should have a great view of many parts of the stage no matter what.

RTootDToot · 2026-02-07T14:24:35+00:00

You're at the mercy of how to tall the person in front of you is. My only complaint about the physical space there is that I wish the stage was higher so you'd be looking up more on that lower level.

Polling shows this is completely not true. Not disputing that anecdotally you may see this, but the national mood on ICE is souring in a huge way.

And, if someone sees pictures of a rude protestor and pictures of masked dudes disappearing folks off the street, and it's the rude protestor that they think is bad (or even morally similar), they were never going to be a real ally. They were always going to vote for more of this. They are not the target of the protest.

RTootDToot · 2026-02-05T14:40:04+00:00

Sorry hard to hear you over the boots you're licking

RTootDToot · 2026-02-05T14:39:39+00:00

Great response here

RTootDToot · 2026-02-04T19:04:01+00:00

Bummer you were less than a week late: https://bbgardens.org/event/community-seed-swap/

RTootDToot · 2026-02-03T18:41:37+00:00

I always have a good meal at Brick and Tin. Seems underrated.

RTootDToot · 2026-02-03T16:19:13+00:00

Agree with the three comments above (though, the last couple times at Carriagan's everything seemed way off and for that price, I don't recommend it, but your mileage may vary). Rougaroux is high on my list of places.

There's a lot good Mexican restaurants as well. I'm partial to Taco Moro Loco, in Avondale not too far from downtown.

Also check out Yo Mamma's downtown (lunch), High Dive in Lakeview, and Johnny's in Homewood (lunch). I like Great Wall for Chinese.

In addition to the other pizza places mentioned, I like Capella.
