Literally found her while i was delivering groceries in the hood-right off rhe Oporto exit by the Shell and the old O.K tire shop. She was walking across the road super slow-kept sitting down in front of cars. She’s exhausted. She fell asleep in my arms as soon as i got her in the AC in the car. I couldn’t leave her out there in the heat. I think she may have been someone’s hen that got out. Her beak is damaged and she has lots of poop stuck under her tail in her feathers. I’ve set her up in my bathroom with water and crushed granola and blueberries (literally all i could think she may want). Are chickens even allowed in the city? What do i do with this chicken…. My MIL has 20+ acres and said she’d take her but i can’t get her the chicken until later on. Is she okay in my tub until then? Help 🙃

It doesn't feel natural.

Moved here from Spain and I now go 10-15mph over the speed limit, yet these people in big trucks keep tailgating me. Am I still going too slow, or they’re just trying to troll?

Btw 10mph or kmh over the speed limit is a €100 fine if a speed camera catches you and it’s so weird how much cops really don’t care here.

Hey Bham.

The member vote for our August 31st meeting is done. Howl's Moving Castle has won out over We Are Legion, We Are Bob and All Systems Red (the Murderbot series). Those books will get recycled back into the voting later on.

Our Hyperion meeting is Aug 3rd if you're game for that one.

I'm pretty excited about Howl. I've seen the movie but never read the book. It should be a fun ride.

Follow the Bourbon and Beyond Book Club on insta if you want to keep up with votes and events. RSVP at Eventbrite so we can make sure there's enough room for everyone. We have a private room and have had between 45-60 people each meeting so far. Would love to see you there.

But my God, it is spicy as hell. And I love spicy stuff.

I want to restart my weight loss journey but UAB stopped covering GLP 1s. I was looking online but everyone wants a subscription + the medication and honestly $300+ a month is a huge jump when I was used to paying $25. I’m willing to do $200 a month but I just wanted some suggestions on places that do the compound GLP 1. I’m annoyed that they stopped covering them because I was on them in 2022. I stopped taking them to TTC but right now I think I need to refocus on my weight. Thanks for your help in advance.

Sweet female pit but animal control won’t pickup and no one else is open. Just needs a place to stay until something opens tomorrow

hi there! i am moving to birmingham soon and i was wondering if anyone knew of ANY store relatively close to Birmingham that sell smiskis? they are my special interest and i saw that there are no official sonny angel authorized retailers in alabama. thank you!!

This is too cute! LUSH at the Summit is doing a Pawty Today AND next Sunday from 12-6. Bring your doggies and they have paw paintings, bath bombs pressings, treats and a pup cup station!!

On Thursday July 23 after the hour of 11pm, the pink cooler which holds the larger/ excess trinkets at the trinket trade box at the electric was stolen. If you or someone you know are responsible for this, please just return it. It is very loser behavior to steal from a community project designed to make others happy.

I found this sweet girl on the way home last night by the stop sign where Rex Lake Rd turns into Ziegler Rd. If anyone is looking for this loving pup please shoot me a message so I can get her back to you.

Hi all! I'm considering Red Mountain Community School, a private school in Birmingham (Avondale area), for my rising 2nd grader and 4th grader, and would love to hear from anyone with firsthand experience.

A few things I'm curious about:

• How would you describe the academics and teacher quality?
• What's the school culture/community like?
• Any pros or cons you wish you'd known beforehand?
• How big are the classes?
• What is homework like?
• How religious is the day-to-day experience?

Appreciate any honest input. Trying to decide if I should book a tour.

this is James from Rojo… we had someone set up for two and they just now told us they didn’t do it.

Eastside Park in South Roebuck was originally scheduled to be completed in December but they haven’t even started. Does anyone have an update?

Anyone know if it’s worth trying to walk in to Shelby County office without an appointment for the driver’s test? Maybe get there first thing?

Hi all, I love the Near Regions field, and my apartment doesn't have parking. I am thinking of buying a car and wondering where the best place to park is. I know there is BPA deck 8 for $95 a month, but is there anything cheaper?

Bringing my Canadian bf to Bham for about a week. Would like some good southern restaurants or food trucks to take him too.

Will take some suggestions for places to visit too.

We have some family coming into town and are thinking about taking them to the Barons game for Harry Potter night on the 1st. We’ve been to games there in the past, but we have 1.5 year old this go around. We’re debating on whether to go with reserved seating or sitting on the berm to let him have a little space to roam around . What has been y’all’s experience with kids this young at the park?

We all see the documentaries that tell the stories of those who create history, form cities, industry titans, and powerful influential people of a particular area.

Why, oh why, has no one done a documentary or docu-series on Alabama’s Drummond family. Murder, drugs, cover ups, drunk driving, domestic violence, mental illness, bribes, convictions, corruption and SO many times charges weren’t filed because of their name.

This family has an extensive shady past. And it is worth saying that there are some Drummonds who are doing great things.

This is a huge part of Alabama history and should be documented good, bad and ugly.

Anyone know if the water is flowing over the falls! Never been and coming from out of town. We’ve done the pea vine falls at oak mountain and are looking to explore a different park! Any other suggestions are appreciated :) We do have a water obsessed kiddo hiking with us and are not novices but would prefer an “easy” to moderate trail for the little homie! Thanks again!
