The Hill FTW any day, any night, any time.
One of our former LB'ers dad owned one of the restaurants on the Hill so we got great food and extra food every time we went.

We'll agree to disagree I just think that if was truly that big of a deal, they would've done something about it years ago. The City of Birmingham has no problem taking a stand when they feel it's justified.
Birmingham was also ground zero for some pretty memorable anti-integration incidents, and not too long ago when you stop and think about it, ijs. I just think using the reasoning "well they've been up for a long time" is kinda disingenuous from a historical context.
But like you said, we can agree to disagree.

So I guess I got the SW corner on lock taking mama and MJ to the Cousins and doing it big family style.
We all pitched in to give the niece a new car since she is graduating with a teaching degree in May. So I decided to take them up there.
ETA: That conversation with Mama I got the look and the finger wave.

Oh yes, I know
It seems that's mostly what my city is known for. That and our nutty mayors. The current one just got into an all out brawl with a city council member. 
The newspaper called it "The Slam in the Ham" Hope you and Mrs. Tbird have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well! I've yet to see Kansas City. I'm sure I'll make it to that corner of the state at some point.

Try the Gamberetti at Zia's. I love the Mudega at Zia's also.
Especially if you like Shrimp.

Good move. Confederacy was anti United States and anti-black. No need to celebrate a misguided, losing effort. High time to move on and celebrate more non-divisive aspects of this part of the country.
This.
Also, I understand the eventual plan is to relocate the monuments once they develop an appropriate location for them.
Maybe a battleground like out in Chalmette.
It's the 21st century.

Meh. US flag flew over the genocide of an entire continent of indigenous people. We honor the individual fighting men from our wars. Its not like the union soldiers were fighting to free black people. Even Abe Lincoln said he thought that one race MUST be subservient to the other. Should we strip the world of his image. Memorials are for the fighting men, not for the cause. Don't bring politics into it.

If you're offended by a flag, then you're the problem.
I don't freak out when I see a swastika in a textbook or museum and demand it be removed. It's part of history. Just because you remove it from its location doesn't mean that you can remove it from history.
The political correctness in this country is becoming unbearable. Dr. Carson please come save us all.

I don't freak out when I see confederate flags in those contexts, either. Actually, I never freak out unless the Spurs are in the playoffs

No one's trying to remove the confederacy from history. We can acknowledge it without celebrating a dastardly cause that harmed our nation.
