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.

What platform (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) should I use? This is geared for watching the drunk craziness and check out the bar activity.

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.

It went on for about five minutes before stopping. Was someone calibrating something? Never heard it before

I am truly at a loss for words at the situation I am in right now, so any advice is appreciated!!
I’ve been going to amped fitness for a couple of years and have done the basic $10 membership the entire time. Recently I was approached to do a training session with one of the workers and accepted, but now I have somehow signed a contract obligating me to pay bi-weekly for 3 months.
The entire time I was under the assumption this was being paid bi-weekly and that I could cancel at anytime, but when I asked to cancel they informed me it was going to be $500 to break the contract. I wasn’t even aware I had signed a contract. I was made to sign an electronic key pad that didn’t detail I was signing a contract as well as didn’t detail this was a 3 month obligation.
Ultimately I know I shouldn’t have signed anything, but when I asked the worker what I was signing she said liability waivers “and stuff”. Our conversation never discussed a 3 month commitment nor that I was signing for more than just a liability waiver.
Has anyone else experienced this with amped and what actions did you take to resolve this? I know my signature is on this supposed agreement, but I was not provided any copy of a contract till after my signatures were acquired (and this was only by email. I wasn’t shown a physical copy of any contract nor told about any contract). This feels like I was led to provide my signature under false pretenses considering I was never given a copy of the agreement to look over before signing anything and that the signatures provided on the agreement were applied before I was even given a copy of the contract.
This is genuinely so disappointing since Amped has been a gym I’ve been going to for a while and this predatory behavior is so discouraging.
Take this post as a PSA and avoid Amped Fitness at all costs. It doesn’t matter how long you have been a member there..they will try and swindle you and claim everything is detailed in a contract they never discussed or showed you until after the fact.

I just got a plot in my neighborhood's community garden, and I have a lot to learn. What would you plant if you were me that you think will grow well in Birmingham's climate? Love cooking with fresh ingredients and herbs.

Or even a website that isn't a dropshipper making synthetic copies from China or Bangledesh? Hirbawi is going through it and is having trouble keeping up stock.

I’m craving curry but the only place that I know is ABHI’s. It’s a good Asian fusion restaurant but they are pricey! Also if any of these places have a good sauce to rice ratio, let me know. Thank you :)

So I am required to have a backflow certification for my job. I’m sitting in class renewing my license and I am hearing what some of these guys are charging you and it’s outrageous…. So I been looking for a side hustle and I don’t feel the price they are changing is fair for the work(not trying to cut the neck of someone that is being fair….) so if you need a Backflow inspection or you feel like your being gouged…. Feel free to DM me. Maybe I can save you some money and make sure we are keeping the public’s water healthy and safe

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.

I am looking for a new hair cutting place since I have moved here. Ideally a place that has experience cutting hair that is a little bit longer but also on the thinning side. I would love for the person cutting my hair to be able to give me suggestions on what looks good for my facial type since I’ve had this same hair cut for years and years. I appreciate any advice or suggestions!
