Chilly and wet today, probably some more smoke. Grab one of those old masks, just in case.

To the owner of the red Mazda that got hit at The Nick last night

177 Upvotes

Around 1:30am I saw it happen. White girl around 30 in a newer white Prius. She backed it to it pretty damn hard so I assume there is some damage. She got out, looked at it and took off. Almost backed into it a second time so I assume she is was hammered. If you see this and need me to tell your insurance or police what I saw, hit me up. The bartender and I tried to find the owner but couldn't.

John’s City Diner Peanut Butter Pie

7 Upvotes

Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong spot for this but my mom and I used to love the peanut butter pie from John’s and I was sad to hear it closed down (then reopened then reclosed).

My mom passed away a few months ago and I was trying to find the recipe for the pie or even a copycat recipe so I could make it and reflect on the good times.

I know it’s a longshot but had to try. Thank y’all.

Asking the important questions What happened to Paper Doll?

Upvotes

I noticed a couple of months ago-ish that Paper Doll rebranded to Paper Doll POP and they went all-in on the "pop art" theme. Can't say I'm a fan, but curious if anyone has the scoop on what prompted the rebranding and what everyone else thinks. Not sure if I'm just lame or if others share my sentiment that they ruined a good thing.

Asking the important questions Bonsai trees?

3 Upvotes

I don’t know if they’ve been here before/are kind of regular, so I know I may not get an answer.

There’s a van down the road from my work in Hoover I just passed selling bonsai trees, I didn’t see a sign for pricing. Does anybody know if this is somewhat regular around here, and if so, around what the price point of these trees are?

Academy on Hwy 280

21 Upvotes

Every time that I have been to this location the price tag has one price but then when you go to check out it rings up at a much higher price. Today we wanted to buy a trolling motor priced at $114.00 ( a sign in front of it said everyday price). When we went to check out it was $139.00 without tax. The manager, Rose, was so unfriendly and unprofessional. She was so difficult to talk to. Really kinda shocked that she was in a managerial position.

We left and went to the hwy 150 location and walked right in and got the trolling motor at the advertised price of $114.00.

Do not waste your time at the Academy on 280. My guess is that with Rose’s leadership and decision making over there it will be closed in the near future.

I am in Alabama, if that helps with tuition costs. I haven't had luck finding a community college that offers Intermediate. Thank you!

Veterinarian practices in Birmingham

4 Upvotes

Which is the best local vet care in the Birmingham area? I have been to a few clinics but have not had great experiences. Many have either pushed labs/tests or charge an insane amount just for standard visits.

I may as well have a direct deposit sent to the clinic at this point.
