My Mother is here. I love that the place is kept up nicely but what I do hate is the insensitivity…read morehere. The city workers damaged my Mothers headstone. They have damaged quite few people I know loved ones stones. We have been visiting and watch them run over headstones in a tracker. I know damn well they saw the vase (see photos) it's just carelessness. Not only are they super damn expensive it's disrespectful. Take just a few more minutes of your time and try not to knock the vases off that people pay money for off the stones. It's sooooo foul to me and then just stick her flowers in the hole where the damage was pissed us off. Her vases is no where to be seen and calling asking for it to see if it's salvageable is just pointless. No one has answered my calls since Monday. We just want to know if they have it so we can get it repaired. After finally reaching some where there it was discovered that the vase was STOLEN low life people are robbing graves. Even though the cemetery is locked at 5pm everyday there are no cameras and no proper patrol. Speaking with the funeral home where we purchased the headstone from was very helpful and friendly the city (the city of Bessemer owns the cemetery) has agreed to replace the vase for us.

Check in as to why, no rhyme or reason, just confusion. Paid to have it completed correctly July (6months later) nothing. Now it has almost been a year and no response. I think it is sad that some folk alive or not (alive) seem to be put on the back burner as if life doesn't matter. They (Elmwood) are highly respected in the community, and we as a family put the care of our loved one in their hands, and they fumbled. Not happy and would not suggest communicating via phone or email and if in person speak with the man over the man. They do not collaborate very well as a team. Sad and simply distraught. This should be a time of rest, yet my family and I are trying to figure out the "why". No excuses, no exceptions, no more, I will get back with you (and don't). This is unacceptable!

Birmingham is a great city to live! It has that big city feel with a small town charm. Over the…read moreyears, Birmingham has emerged as a slept-on foodie city. Many new restaurants have popped up over the last ten years. New businesses bring more revenue and more revenue brings bigger acts to the city. From Chris Brown to Garth Brooks to Janet Jackson, many big names have graced our city with concerts at our new venues, Protective Stadium and the Coca Cola Amphitheater. There is so much to do in the city. From taking a walk in Avondale Park to watching a movie at Sidewalk Theater, to checking out the latest exhibits in the Museum of Art, to shopping at the Summit, Birmingham has something for everyone. Pro Tip: Follow your favorite businesses on social media to find out about different events that may be taking place. I believe that the current politicians have the city's residents best interests at heart. Mayor Woodfin combines youth and wit and for Birmingham, it works. I appreciate how his administration has helped minorities and women gain ground in the business sector by the offering of grants through non-profits such as Rev Birmingham. The school system, while still having room for improvement, has shown tremendous growth since the pandemic that has made national headlines. Is Birmingham a perfect city? No. But has it come a long way from its tumultuous past during the Civil Rights era, yes. There's so much more I could speak on, but don't just take my word. Come for a visit and let the city speak for itself.

Following a two-hour drive from Huntsville, we could be at the BJCC enjoying acts like Judas Priest, Alanis Morrisette, the Who, Kid Rock, and Van Halen (as an add on to their Huntsville shows), many of whom wouldn't bother booking a show in Huntsville's smaller VBCC. My tennis buddies graduated and played college tennis for Samford; my stepdaughter works as a PharmD at UAB; my best friend lived in and returned to the Highlands area (thank goodness); and honorary nieces have gone to college there. I was featured in a commercial in the 90s that was filmed on Red Mountain promoting "Dances With Wolves" and Kevin Costner. It's not that I was special in any way, it was part of a contest that I won. That was a fun day! I can't count the Do Dah Day events I've attended over the years, and the Do Day Nights they used to have on the Friday before the big day! I've enjoyed The Club with my best friend and have celebrated various birthdays there always completely impressed by the view! We hosted my stepdaughter's baby shower there and were so grateful to have the fabulous venue! Thank you, Birmingham for leading the way for culinary excellence! Places that come to mind are Hot and Hot Fish Club, Ocean, El Barrio, and Bottega. Five Points South and Highlands are my favorite areas of the 'Ham! Thank you "Magic City!" You have indeed brough the magic to this girl!

I stumbled upon this by accident while on a vacation trip with my family from Lousiville to Destin. We stopped over in Birmingham as a halfway point and this marker was at the corner of the hotel we stayed at.

Overall interesting and neat call back to do American and Birmingham history. Not much to look at as it just a marking on the ground. But cool nonetheless.

Since we couldn't go inside, I decided to walk across the nearby bridge to at least get a view from a distance. When it's closed, there really isn't a way to get much closer, so you're limited to exterior views only. From the photos and reviews others have posted, it looks like a really cool and educational spot, especially if you're interested in industrial history. It seems like the tours give you a great glimpse into what factory life looked like back when it was one of the biggest steel suppliers in the U.S. Knowing it operated for around 90 years before shutting down in 1971 makes it even more fascinating. Even though I didn't get the full experience, the scale of the structures and the history behind the site were still impressive from afar. I'd definitely plan to return on a day they're open to properly explore it -- it looks like a unique and worthwhile stop if you're in town.
