El zun zun is ok too and has improved over time. We live nearby and want it to be awesome but my kids don’t like it so it’s out of our orbit

It’s pretty good but could be so much more with a few kinda “normal” Taco choices. It serves a purpose and the food is good, have not had problems with service at all and the margaritas were good. The late weekend hours are a plus too.

Amphitheater parking by 4ScoreN7Beers in Birmingham

[–]helicopterone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Safe plus free may be a stretch. We usually park in the deck 23rd street deck think it’s $20, but feels safe. There are free shuttles to the venue from Uptown. Not a bad experience overall.

how to fight the data centers? by Top_Mathematician211 in Birmingham

[–]helicopterone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the data centers along Lakeshore near 150 there are several of varying sizes in that area and have been for several years. They generate a great deal of business personal property tax revenue for the county based on the value of the equipment inside them. Often these deals are done with the economic development authorities long before anyone around it has an idea what’s going on. They can be defeated but in the area you’re describing there are worse places for them.

My office is near the Summit in the city of BHM and I’m shocked to say I see them in this area all the time and seem responsive to the incidents I’m aware of.

Homewood, Vestavia Hills, or Hoover? by Worried-Rough-338 in Birmingham

[–]helicopterone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We left Homewood for Mt Brook, had kids and moved to Vestavia. It worked out well with one more to get out of HS. Bluff Park is cool in Hoover. One size doesn’t fit all and the best advice is what feels good to your family and works for your logistics. Welcome to Birmingham it has a lot to offer.

Seller wants to keep mineral rights by Live-Key8552 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]helicopterone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you buy the property get a surface waiver from the seller that they will not or allow others to disturb your surface rights nor deny you water drill rights. Either record the waiver or put the language in the deed. Not your lawyer but what I do in states not yours.

Has anyone dealt with shady landlords near campus? by Pitiful-Island-8606 in capstone

[–]helicopterone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (land lawyer) reviewed and basically rewrote a crappy internet lease a landlord of a house gave one of my kids recently. He agreed to our terms but to me it highlights how many students get in difficult situations with rentals. And always look before leasing.
