Reading through these 200+ posts, the biggest thing I'm getting from this thread is that we need to have a Birmingham Ranters meet-up one weekend and drink the shite out of some beer.


Time it for a family visit and I'm in. Vast majority of my mom's side still live in the area.

Great school, and right on the boundary between the south side of Birmingham and Homewood/Vestavia/Mountain Brook.

Totally fine, if you can swing it (it's expensive).

Little Rock is terrible as well

It would actually be great from a central location standpoint. Could buy up some of the hood around downtown for cheap and improve the entire area. Wouldn't get rid of the hobos though. Become a big problem since the law used for getting them off the street got struck down.

Samford is in a great area and has plenty of shopping around the campus. The neighborhoods around that campus are all upper middle class White. Kids can cross the main drag to the jogging course and to the Target with ease.

My wife is a graduate of Samford.

Have you never been to Jackson, MS? I would say the biggest shitholes of the south are Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Jackson, Memphis and Little Rock. I would include St. Louis but that is not the south.


Little Rock is in much better shape in terms of violent crime and city leadership than the other cities listed. Just look at the demographics.
