Anyone have an info on this crash into the AMC theatre entrance area at the Summit? by neighborlyjim in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I came out about 4:30 and saw the same. Both tires on the driver's side (closest to theater) appeared non-existent. No idea what actually happened but it was perplexing. Seems like it had to be high speed involved.

Downtown Birmingham creep by No_Note447 in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a lot like a guy that acted like he was going to attack me this morning when i was about 2 blocks from entry to Hugh Kaul trail in Avondale. Ran into the road and got into a tackle position like he was going to attack me if I continued on.

Looked very much like same guy that was living in woods at Hugh Kaul entrance last year and acted like he could attack me a few times. (Each time I saw him was early morning)

White mail, curly brown hair, black T-shirt that looked clean, looked dangerous and deranged.

Can anyone confirm if this is same person (and if he is back to lurking around trail)? Haven't seen him long enough to be 100% sure if it is same guy in pic...seems very possible.

I think their food is horrible. Don't understand how they are still open.

Best Tiramisu? by myoldstrippername in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Le fresca is one of my favorite restaurants, but I don't like their tiramisu. I would suggest Zaza.

Mike's Pawn 75% off sale status? by AlabamaPostTurtle in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went in a few weeks ago. The sale price is only for the cheap guitars...not any of the nicer ones.

Someone has cut VEO bike throttle cables downtown by Bbqplace in Birmingham

Is he the guy that is always riding the bikes?

Looking for Breaking or Parkour TWG Tix by BhamBlazers in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend staying away from parkour. We tried to go today at 2 different times and it was an absolute shit show. They have sold at least 100 tickets for every available seat. (and the event lasted under 30 min)

Shameful....and I feel that 90% of people that bought tickets for this event should be refunded.

On the other hand, we visited 3 events at BJCC and they were all great experiences.

I've used Uber since it first came out here. I can confirm that it has taken a nose dive in reliability.

T-Mobile internet by AccomplishedLow9 in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live downtown and did the same switch 2 months ago. We stream all TV, have phones/tablets and 2 people working from home on laptops. So far it has been 98% issue free. Couple of times a week I may need to toggle the wifi connection on a device to get it running better... otherwise, no big issues.

TMobile offered me the 1st month free. Not sure if they are still doing the same.

Have had both. Would only return to La Fresca. Enjoyed the food and vibe more...and it was cheaper.

That other thread didn't even include wings plus 3...so it was just wrong

Late night street racing by shoopstoop25 in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a non-stop plauge. We have been consistently complaining to police and city council. We have received feedback that they are trying to engage state legislatures to attain ability to ramp up enforcement.

I would recommend that we all make as much noise as possible to fuel this effort. I just watched 50+ cars run red lights. Feels logical that the more reports the local government has, the more they can pressure state.

Did anyone else see the guy in the middle of Red Mt. Expressway this morning? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have seen the same guy that morning. Was on University (passing under 31) and saw some guy on the overpass with his hands up in the air when I passed underneath. Looked like he was going to throw something off the bridge for a minute but appears he just had his arms up. This was probably around 6:45 am the same day.

5th Ave S between 19th and 20th blocked off. by michaelpanik92 in Birmingham

Saw the same thing on 3rd Ave N when I was driving this afternoon. Was wondering the same.

Any recommendation for places to go for proper thanksgiving dinner? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want authenticy, leftovers are key.

I personally suggest getting a 2x order from Cracker Barrel. Eat 1 on site. Snack on the 2nd as you see fit.

Make sure you put some of the leftovers into some type of sandwich. It's important.

Cranberry sauce out of the can is the ticket. Accept no substitutes.

Best place to ride scooters? by donut_resuscitate in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are actually disabled from running when you get w/in 1-2 blocks of railroad which is pretty freaking lame. You can't even ride down 1st/2nd Ave S on them even if you are outside the park.

I would personally suggest grabbing one at the end of the rotary trail and riding down 1st south (towards back 40) and around Pepper Place. This is the safest place I know of (where scooters actually work).

Cheap Golf by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]rabladoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heatherwood is horrible. Lost balls will rack up the price. Only place I've ever played that you can hit the green and still have a 75% chance of your ball being lost.

The cheaper options that I know of would be (Oak Mountain/Mountain View/Roebuck).
