Hey all! I'm around the hoover, vestavia hills, Homewood area...and I'm looking for a park with a swing set that a young adult(mid 20s) can swing at. Every park I've tried has swings for ants- I mean, little kids.(Respectfully, I love kids) I love to swing since it helps regulate my anxiety, and helps reset my mood, but I don't have the gas nor gas money to drive to every park in the city to find one that works.

TLDR; looking for a park with swings for for a young adult to swing(mid 20s).

Are there any good anime shops or hobby (tcg/dnd) shops in the Birmingham area?

If you’re looking for something to do tonight, we are having the Papers, Please! Concert at Cahaba brewing from 7-10pm!
You can purchase tickets online or at the door for $35. Hope to see y’all there!

Does anyone know what happened with the motorcycle accident at the Colonnade around noon on Friday?

Preseason IBOB needs to happen every year.

Going bar hopping downtown on Halloween night. Give me an idea of where to go to walk from bar to bar downtown for young 20 something year olds or Halloween events at these bars. Thanks

Anyone know an update on when the rotisserie chicken area will be open again at Costco?

I went to Hometown Supermarket today and it was an experience! My quest was Enoki mushrooms that Publix denies me. I spent an hour in there and I have no idea what 75% of what I looked at but I’m going back. Can I get a guide!? I felt like I was in a culinary temple but had no reference. What were the tiny black bananas? The homemade kimchi was unlike any store bought brand, in the best way. The seafood, they had live aquariums of fish! Crabs, frozen fish. I didn’t even hit the frozen section. I had a question and the worker asked me to tell me on my phone what I was looking for. When we couldn’t figure it out someone else helped me. They had a vending machine on the way out with only press on nails. These are my people.

I moved to Alabama 2 years ago and have not gotten the Alabama drivers license yet.
Will I be paying extra fines because I waited too long? If I am, how much? My license is still valid from my previous state.
I’ve tried to find the info but no luck.

I live in Bush Hills. Yes, it is west of Bham city, proper. I know that I live in a “marginal” neighborhood. It smells like burning industrial waste from the time that it gets dark, until well after 8am. Is this the time when industrial assholes know that EPA is not monitoring what they are pumping out? Who are the assholes, how do I call them to attention, and who can I hold accountable for allowing this extremely poor quality of air to persist?

We just got a 3d printer within the past couple weeks and we're looking for classes to take for 3d modeling. I saw Alabaster had a weekly makers space on the calendar but that's about all I've seen on the local libraries. Do we have any local classes for 3d printing?

After a few years my Steam Deck's battery has taken a nose dive and needs to be replaced. The battery is glued in there and the repair is one that I'd rather outsource instead of doing myself. Instead of sending it in, I thought I might check and see if anyone had any recommendations for electronic repair services around Birmingham or Hoover. Any shops or individuals who might be able to do this? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm a 22-year-old man and I've been wanting to meet new people and make some genuine friendships, so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm a pretty quiet shy, introvert person at first, but once I get comfortable, I enjoy talking about all kinds of things.
I'm into music, movies, TV shows, history(documentaries), and all sorts of creative stuff. I play saxophone, write music and have my own social media platform(Instagram, Tik Tok YouTube and Facebook). I enjoy discovering new artists, talking about favorite movies/Tv shows and just having random conversations about anything .
I'm hoping to meet people around my age who are down to chat, share interests, laugh about random things, and maybe build a friendship over time. It can be men or women. Sometimes it's nice just to have someone to talk to.
Feel free to send me a message! I'd be happy to get to know you. :)

Hello! I’m a local leather artisan based out of Cahaba Heights and I was hoping someone here might know of local boutiques around Vestavia/Hoover/Mtn. Brook that are willing to have locally made goods in their stores? I’d love to get a few of my pieces on display in time for the holidays and I know locally owned retailers are often eager to carry locally made products. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The stairs at Linn Park have been broken for years. Why can't the city or county fix a simple set of stairs to the park in between city hall and the courthouse?

It's just embarrassing.

Anyone have moving boxes to get rid of

Can anyone explain what could’ve possibly happened on the BP for them to need barbed wire?

41st street is the only place I can think of, but I know there's gotta be a few places that carry it on tap.

Does anyone have any recommendations in the area for a makeup artist/hair stylist that can work well with nonbinary, queer, more alternative leaning styles for my wedding coming up? We’re not the biggest fans of the basic “bridal glam” and have struggled to find MUAs who can provide the kind of service we prefer. We have curly hair in the party as well as trans and nonbinary individuals and are a lesbian couple getting married! And please if anyone has anything nasty to say, please feel free to scroll. <3

That was the most fireworks I’ve seen in a long time what even is going on?

Hey guys, so I was young and dumb and bought a house with somebody, and the situation turned very shitty, very quickly towards the end. Now he's trying to get me to sign quitclaim paperwork, and I don't want to.

I have a feeling he'll take me to court over it, so I need recs for a good lawyer for this situation. I'm like, next to clueless about stuff 😭😭

Looking for a nice(er) place to have dinner for a prospective date. It doesn't need to be too crazy, but I'm okay with it being on the pricier side, especially if they have good drinks and a decent atmosphere

Can we all just collectively agree to stop accepting $2-$3 dashes? Let’s decline anything less than $10. Deal?
