Yup, Would be awesome to stick it out on 280 on a huge bluff so you hit the balls out into a valley.
I used to work at a place on shades crest road in bluff park and on slow days we used to go behind the building and hit balls off the bluff. You could see the Oxmoor Valley golf course at the bottom. It was fun.

I think if put a Top Golf in Homewood where 280 hits 31. I'd then sit back and count my money all the live long day
How many acres does a top golf need? Parking included? Plenty of old lots and buildings in Avondale area. I could see this as a great idea.
However, facing West toward downtown would put the sun in your face in the evening. Do Top Golfs face West in other cities?

I moved back from Tuscaloosa after graduation in 2010. As someone who grew up in Hoover the amount of improvements in just these 5 years have been huge. The city is booming. I loved it so much I bought a house in 5pts South a couple of years ago. Once we get that chiplote open on 20th and get uber my quality of life will skyrocket

So many cool towns in the South and Jackson MS just can't get its shite together. We just built a stadium down in Biloxi and my quality of life is just fine

I think with Mobile bringing in Uber, the city of Birmingham will no more excuses. Yellow cab fricking blows.

You really don't see that many cabs around Birmingham anyway...

If fricking Montgomery gets Uber before Birmingham, City Hall needs to burn to the ground.

Biloxi is just as shitty as Jackson. This post was edited on 6/17/15 at 12:08 am

No, it's not. Jackson is a lost cause. It's best days are long gone.

That is the problem. How they still manage to be in operation and have an influence over city hall is astonishing.

Of course she blames the state, not herself...

The city's 178 taxis service 1.1 million people in the Birmingham metropolitan area.
In 2013, there were 645 cabs servicing the Nashville metropolitan area, which has a population of 1.5 million, according to the 2010 census.The
Jackson, Mississippi, metropolitan area - considerably less populated than Birmingham's metro area at just 539,000 people in 2010 - has about 150 cabs servicing the city as of January of 2015.

Food wise, Birmingham is outstanding. Pound for pound, Birmingham has as good of a restaurant scene as almost any other city in the county.
True statement. Bham>>>>>Nashville as far as food.

Took a weekend trip to Bham with the little lady back in February and had a blast. Going back in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to eat at Chez Fon Fon again

Birmingham is too dainty. Like a big, stale cupcake. Despite our reputation, Mississippi is FAR cooler than Alabama.

Just another weekend for Bham:
Trunkstock at Avondale
Happenin' Fest at Good People
Jam in the Ham at Zydeco
The Man Show at BJCC

Mississippi has some cool small towns and the casinos have a good bit to offer if gambling is your thing but other than that Alabama despite being "stale" offers significantly more than Mississippi. It's a mush prettier state with actual mountains and a much better beach and has a reasonably large city (Birmingham) that offers amenities that no city in Mississippi can match.
