Re: from michigan to alabama.
Yeah the south side of B'ham is better. My ex had moved to Columbiana/Calera and we would drive into the south of B'ham on the weekends. There is plenty to do and there are some really nice areas. There wasn't too many 
in the places we went. Better learn the times to travel though. I'm not sure what it's like around the mourning, but in the afternoon from about 3-6 you aren't going anywhere. Friday and Saturday nights you might as well be prepared to sit in your car longer than anything else and unless your downtown stuff is ------ out too far to walk.
Out of all the towns/cities I've been to I would say Huntsville is probably the best with Florence second. Florence is pretty much a college town and Huntsville is perfect if your in the engineering field.
Where are you at toys?

Re: from michigan to alabama.
Soler, just curious why you're moving here? I've seen quite a few michigan and ohio people moving to this area.
Like toysrme said, if you're gonna live around Birmingham, live outside of the city. I've only been to Gardendale and didn't see much, but it definitely seemed like a better place than bham. I recommend moving as far north as possible if you're going to live in AL. Hville has it's shitty area like every other city, but overall it's pretty clean, and if you happen to be the engineering type, it's number 1 in USA for number of engineering jobs and number 2 for the size of it's research park.

Re: from michigan to alabama.
ugh columbiana is a festering meth lab for god's sake don't live there. i was bagnin this ultra rich 17->18yo earlier this year and she kept taking me to some pretty divy places. when she went psycho i called her dad and let him know alll about it bawahaha. plus her uncle was a small time judge. im sure there was a raid at some point haha...
dude best ---- your date movie theater ever is the one in pelham. oh my god nobody is ever there and it's cheap as dirty panties from a carnie.
35117 Mount Olive. It's a burb of Gardendale. About the only thing of note here is Gray Rock ORV. Just out in the country.
i've rocked afew chicks from the rocket city in my day.
it's a nice place. see, i just like it here because i'm 20-25 minutes from anything i want. hardcore country, hardcore african american city for supplies. i can get south of town without massive traffic (minus rush hour on I65 in 'ham, which i typically avoid by not getting on it altogether) which means you can hit up all the GOOD malls galleria, summit, brookwood) rare at my 24 but sometimes a date needs something..., all the better restraunts, bars, movies, etc.
i like the country around gadsden, i have alot of family there. it's gorgeous. especially the river. it's clean as everything (because you're upstream of the trash) and it's almost always silky smoothe. ill probably move there at some point im sure.
Oh ya, one of the few good things about being in the greater birmingham area is that i once read there are more medical professionals per person than any other place on earth by a wide margin.
Jorsher i know alot of middle age & older michiana people moving down here. one old couple goes back and forth seasonally. hah guess they just don't like the winters? one guy told me it was because they were driving back from PCB and had a tire blow out. guy at the gas station called the guy at the tire place & they just gave him a used tire to get back on and nobody would take any money for it.

Re: from michigan to alabama.
AFA the places, just stay out of the ghetto's. stay out of them and birmingham in the day is okay. anything around 5-points SOUTH and UAB downtown they try to religiously keep free of ------s at night because they DONT want to **** the white night time biz off.
obviously hoover/homewood/vestavia/brookwood have a very nice nightlife. that's where yall were. "over the mountian".
plus all the nice housing, apartments, greeks for UAB run between 5-points south and brookwood/vestavia hills. so you can always find a chick to mac on for a place to crash if you really can't drive
