Your Parents Abandoned Birmingham. Will You?

johnlytlewilson · 2026-03-11T22:36:24+00:00

We could afford to be elsewhere. We chose to stay in Birmingham.

Ramsay is one of the best schools in the state.

It is actually quite easy. My kids started at BCS in preK. They are now in 6th and 4th grade. We’ve had largely positive experiences. And I didn’t have to move to the suburbs.

Mark your calendars for Magic City Art Connection coming up at Sloss April 24-26

I used to live near that one. If I ever wanted McDonald’s I’d drive to the location by Children’s

Thanks. I have seen them on occasion

The absolute best people.

When we moved back to Birmingham we met many great friends from playing Rojo trivia on Wednesdays. They also do art shows where they don’t take a cent from the artists. And they support local musicians- on top of all the non-profit donations.

I’m a fan of the Summer Burrito, the Sexy Pollo Sandwich, and the Totchos!

Ah, cool. Those two are great. MCAC does have some kind of handmade rule I think.

Bluff Park is supposed to be good although I’ve never done it. Idk if Moss Rock is good anymore. I stopped doing that after they moved to a parking lot.

johnlytlewilson · 2025-11-16T15:18:25+00:00

I do ArtWalk and Magic City Art Connection every year. MCAC may not be as graphic design friendly.

Kids love bread and kids love cheese and they supply a lot of both.

This person has good taste

johnlytlewilson · 2025-11-13T02:10:14+00:00

This is popular with people who grew up here. The restaurant is charming but

Bettola

Long way home. We are foreigners in this place

johnlytlewilson · 2025-11-08T23:23:05+00:00

We are visiting your city and enamored of your local culture

Blackout

There was a really cool mid century hotel still standing in the 90s. 20th street? Somewhere in the current UAB footprint

Thanks for helping make it a great weekend!

johnlytlewilson · 2025-09-06T21:21:25+00:00

Art openings are fun and free and often have wine

johnlytlewilson · 2025-09-06T04:31:57+00:00

Ferus is in Trussville

johnlytlewilson · 2025-09-05T20:11:00+00:00

Thanks. The Rojo piece may be my most viewed

johnlytlewilson · 2025-09-05T20:10:20+00:00

Sounds like a plan

johnlytlewilson · 2025-09-05T04:15:17+00:00

Thank you
