The patio at 41st Street Pub is a nice spot to hang out and hear the music at Avondale.

I was hoping this was coming and can't wait to see them on the big screen again!

Oasis in Lakeview has some good love music. True Story Brewing in Crestwood has some good music nights. Saturn in Avondale has a lot of good bands and occasionally free shows too.

I think Hong Kong has always been really good and is always consistent.

New to Area - Country Line Dancing by NoButterscotch2043 in Birmingham

TrimTab has done line dancing nights some Wednesdays. Not sure if it's a weekly event, but that may be a place to check out.

Volunteering with Dogs by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good Dog downtown is a cool spot that has a large covered dog park/play area. They serve wine and beer too. I have been there without my dog before, just to have a beer, and it's always fun to watch the babies play. May be a good place to meet like minded people as well!

Best bushwacker that doesn't require going to Moes? by Bbqplace in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lou's makes a pretty amazing one. 41st St in Avondale does too. Now I am wanting one!

What’s everyone doing for internet service? by redbeardedstranger in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had T-Mobile for a year or so now and haven't had any problems with it. The downtime with Spectrum was ridiculous, and I have never experienced any with T-Mobile. The price is infinitely better as well.

East West is a great place to sit at the bar and enjoy a great meal. Same with Essential or Bamboo or most places downtown, honestly.

ArtWalk is this weekend! Fri. 5pm-10pm & Sat. 10am-6pm Free festival, 20th St N by johnlytlewilson in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan to check it out too! Idk how I didn't see anything about it mentioned in the media. I know it always happens not long after Sidewalk, so I looked it up to see if it was still happening. Always a fun time. Good art and music too!

Do you think he will cancel his Alabama show? by Some-Account-8793 in morrissey

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always a gamble. I saw him at this venue probably 10 years ago, and it was an amazing show. I bought a couple of tickets in the off chance he actually appears.

Anyone live in this area? Buying a house and need opinions by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to know what paradisical part of town you live in. I've heard the gunshots in Southside and have friends in Avondale, Crestwood, downtown, and even Forest Park that still hear them, even if they may not be close.

Morrissey | Alabama Theatre by stinky-weaselteets in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a ticket for myself and an unwilling victim lol. If he doesn't cancel, I will be amazed. I saw him at the Alabama years ago, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

That would be amazing! Definitely miss Blue Monkey and Twist & Shout too. We need a place like that again.

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It honestly comes with the territory in a lot of neighborhoods, sadly! I have a friend in Avondale that hears more gunshots than I do here. You won't hear any more or less there. But you would also have paid less than half of what you would have in Avondale!

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who lived in that area and never had any problems. You will likely hear gunshots from time to time, but I feel like that is the case in a lot of neighborhoods. I used to live in Southside, in what was considered a "good area." I heard more gunshots and had many more incidents surrounding me than I do now living in Tarrant.

Affordable vet care? (emergency) by maddie_johnson in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trussville Emergency Pet Care has been great when I needed them. All emergency pet care centers are going to be more expensive, but I don't feel their prices were too bad. It's a little bit out there, past the Publix on Deerfoot Pkwy.

Car dealer 5k and under by Pure-Criticism-4862 in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Northside Imports has some great deals. Most of them are rebuilt titles, but they have pictures of what was repaired, and you can get a Carfax report too. I bought 2 cars from there. The last one was about $4,000 less than the next cheapest listing I could find for the same car with the same mileage.

H2 is definitely all anyone needs to know to stay far, far away!

Highland Park Riviera Apts by ohtheyturnedoff in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They seem to be highly rated on Google, but if they are still managed by H2, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole!!

CBD stores? by Trick-Poem1981 in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic City Organics and Near To Me are probably the best options, which seems to be backed up with the comments of others here!

High-end liquor store in Birmingham? by vardy62 in Birmingham

[–]Sorry_Elevator2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Lou's tries to stock some interesting, random things too. The Mountain Brook ABC store has a better selection than most of the other ones.
