Running in Downtown BHAM

Hi! Just moved from 280 to downtown (near all the bars/restaurants on second street). I’m a runner and have been running all over downtown. Are there any areas/streets I should be avoiding safety wise?

When is Birmingham going to open their first marijuana medicinal clinic?

What is taking so long? So many other states do it. It seems like we would have it set up by now.

Storage units friendly to musicians

Howdy everyone!

I'm in a band that's looking for a rehearsal space and we thought about looking into renting a storage unit to practice in. Would anyone here happen to know of any places that are fine with bands using the units? Most of us are on the south side of Birmingham, ranging from Glen Iris to Hoover, but we don't mind travelling a little bit.

Cops installed a security camera on our property(?)

This camera was not here a day ago, and was conveniently installed in our absence. The pole it is attached to is on our property, well within the property lines. There are many "no trespassing signs" as well. Is this legal?

Book Clubs for Manga and Comics

I posted this in the making friends thread but no one answered. So I figured I give it one last shot as a post lol.

Are there any book clubs for Manga and Comics around? I like regular books too but I tend to gravitate towards manga and comics more. I’d also love to meet others that are into it. And if there's not one, would anyone be interested in starting something like that with me?

Take the BRT Express to Furnace Fest

Just a reminder, that the BRT Express (Bus Rapid Transit) stops right by Sloss Furnace and is currently free. If you are staying in Downtown/UAB Hospital area, this may be one of the quickest and easiest ways to get to the festival!

You can learn more about the BRT on Max Transit's Website.

You can also download the 'Go Birmingham' app on the Apple App Store or Google Play store to track the busses in real time!

Terri Sewell's press conference at Miles got crashed by a U-haul truck sign talking about her brother

I got a call from my friend at Miles and apparently when Terri Sewell visited Miles today some guy parked a U-Haul that had a giant banner that read "Andrew Sewell is a convicted child predator and works at Miles college". There was apparently a large crowd and they sent police to surround the truck.

All the networks that were there for Terri Sewell's press conference all went to the truck, and Terri canceled her media conference. Last I heard it got towed because the band were doing a homecoming parade. The back of the truck was open and had a bunch of documents taped inside but no one I know could get a look in. Anyone have any updates? I haven't seen any news about it

Apologies

Sent out a post with a text from my dad about possible gang related dangers. Never saw it before so I thought it might be legit but apparently Everyone thinks I'm a bot now. Not a fearmongerer, just misled.

Truly sorry guys, J

Nerd Nook

Hey Birmingham! A lot of you may have seen this already but we have created a Discord for geeks and nerds who want to share their geeky nerdness with others. We regularly host meetups for things like: craft nights, D&D, Magic the Gathering, walking groups, monthly brunch, and other casual hangouts at the various bars, breweries, and game shops in the Birmingham area. Cis women, nonbinary folks, and trans folks welcome. This Discord is primarily for folks who don’t fit well into the current male-dominated nerding space.

DM me or comment below for the Discord link!

Looking to get a hypoallergenic cat

I am not allergic but my partner is. I Was thinking of getting a sphinx cat and was wondering if anyone in Birmingham had any and/or knew someone that might have some. Happy to adopt one of any age. Also goes without saying would love to adopt any cat but based on the situation it has to be hypoallergenic. We do have another cat and she needs a buddy.
