Title: Once Dying, Birmingham Is Suddenly Hot - NY Times Post by: pmull on June 11, 2013, 09:49:03 AM This is a good article about B'ham. If you have not been to the downtown area recently you should go. It is very different than it used to be with a lot of things to do. I don't know that I would call it a vacation destination but it is a good day trip or one night stay over.
Quote National Geographic Traveler recently mentioned the city's renaissance, and Forbes cited it as an up-and-coming city for young professionals. NBC's Today Show featured Birmingham as an attractive travel destination because of its history and affordability, and Zagat has highlighted a restaurant scene that includes chef Frank Stitt's flagship Highlands Bar and Grill. USA Today tapped Birmingham's Sidewalk Film Festival as one of the nation's top movie events, and the cultural website Flavorwire listed the majestic Alabama Theatre, built in 1927, as one of the 10 most beautiful theaters in America. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013/06/09/us/ap-us-birmingham-buzz.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0 Title: Re: Once Dying, Birmingham Is Suddenly Hot - NY Times Post by: KoKoPuf on June 11, 2013, 12:50:19 PM Hot?

Try going to Five Points one evening for dinner or drinks and let me know if you found a place to park.

All kidding aside, I am glad to see Birmingham trying to pick itself up from the doldrums. |
