The Truth
UAB and Five Points is really nice. I think the area just around and south of Vulcan is great. Farther south is Hoover, a really nice area. I flew over the city in a helicopter at only a couple hundred feet. You can request a VFR overflight of the downtown from Birmingham Tower since KBHM is Class Charlie Airspace. On the ground however, most of the rest of the town (like the other 80% besides what is mentioned) is like a third-world country. Just one giant ghetto. Go to 5 points.

Why I recommend this place to visitors
I recommend this place because, after it’s troubling past, it has made something of itself. If you’re ever looking for a city that has done it’s absolute best to try and rebirth itself and change it’s ways, Birmingham is it. It’s pact full of history and I’ve never had a shortage of things to do, it’s amazing.
I live in North Alabama, so, I can’t make it down very often, but, when I do, I’m always anxious to get there and enjoy myself. Eventually, I do plan to live there.
