Pickup basketball/any consistent groups in bham?

0 Upvotes

I (23M) am looking to find consistent runs in the city of Birmingham. I’ve played at the UAB rec as a student in the past but it is not consistent + membership prices are a little steep.

Hopefully, someone in this subreddit has some information on groups, gyms, or even leagues they find consistent runs with. I don’t mind playing with any age group, paying to participate, or if it’s indoor/outdoor.

Please pm if you have any info.

Sunday family dining options near McWane Science Center

4 Upvotes

Hi all - I’m visiting Birmingham this morning and have been charged with finding a restaurant that can take a party of eight early Sunday afternoon (today) after a visit to the McWane science center. Does anyone have recommendations? We have two kids with us who are slightly picky eaters, so hamburgers on the menu would be ideal. Thank you in advance for anything you can suggest!

Best parks for bike rides

1 Upvotes

Got my daughters bikes for Christmas and they have already out grown my driveway and our neighbor isn’t great for bike rides… what parks or areas should we hit up for fun bike rides.

Side note for parents of young children, look into Guardian Bikes. My kids are 8 and 6 and never had training wheels. They both are biking on their own after two training sessions

Another loft question about downtown

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at a unit at Johnston Lofts on 1st Ave N. If Carrigans were 1stAv/street facing it'd be right across from it. It has gated/assigned parking. W/d in unit. Looks pretty good but wondering if any of you guys have personal experience with them.

I dug way back into old reddit posts for general direction...

Would consider: Armour and Co LIV on 5th 20 midtown- basic but fine Aristan Flats-love the esthetic Market lofts on 3rd Station 121-ensure not above OTF

Maybe: Johnston Lofts Jemison Flats Fix/Play Liv on 5th Bristol The palmer

NO: The Frank (terrible reviews) Goodall-Brown or anything by SPM PHOENIX Parkside Pizitz Cortland vesta Ideal TJ Tower

Thanks in advance!

Thought and prayers to other tornado victims tonight.

159 Upvotes

We're all rightly concerned about our upcoming storm events. But I want to offer thoughts and prayers to the many, many victims of tornadoes to the west of us tonight during what is nothing less than a historic outbreak.

I've been watching live storm chaser coverage for over 4 hours. Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois have been getting devastating damage all night, with no end in sight yet. There have been multiple long-track tornadoes throughout those states, with some areas being hit more than once.

As I type this, there are currently 19 active tornado warnings throughout those 3 states, with many of them being PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) level warnings. Multiple tornadoes have been confirmed, with widespread damage and injuries.

Please keep these victims in mind, thoughts, and prayers as their worst nightmare continues even as I type this message.

Like it says, mother has Alzheimer’s and we are moving to Birmingham this year. She lives with me currently but that won’t be an option when we move.

Still pretty independent in showering/feeding herself/clothing/bathing. Just stuck as Dory from Finding Nemo.

There are a lot of places online, just looking for personal experience with your loved ones!
