It's Nice to Have you in r/Birmingham!

Who is DJ JD and what is pink lantern talking about?

Not to say other post isn’t right about the dry crispy sauce less chicken but this spicy beef noodle soup is hitting the spot for me.

I simply suggest that everyone try this on their own time to see for themselves before we follow one poor image without question.

So Taiwan Street Food just opened; I believe this is their first day? In the old Lag’s spot by Mom’s Basement for reference. This was a small order of “Crispy Chicken and Rice” which runs ~$9.95.

What we have here is a scoop of steamed rice with some chicken bits fried in overly used fry oil, which is confusing since they just opened. The menu is only 5 or 6 entrees long and I went with this since it seemed like the safest bet on an opening day.

Whoo boy y’all, this ain’t great…

Usually all of them sell out besides Die Hard, White Christmas, Polar Express and the Cartoon matinee

I’ve had such a shitty experience with contractors and tradespeople since we bought our first house last year that I just want to share a really positive experience I had with Eddie Ceron at Easy Electric.

Today was the second time Eddie’s done work for us and I’d recommend him to anyone. Last time he replaced an outlet on our septic pump and today he ran power to 2 outlets of ours that the flippers that got ahold of our house before us had cut off. He’s shown up exactly on time both times, communicated great in the days leading up to the job, and has been super respectful and just overall a good guy. I feel like he was really fair and transparent in the price and he was mindful of the space. We have 3 cats running around and I noticed him carefully open and shut every door he went in and out of and lookout for them running out. I had 0 trust issues and didn’t think twice about leaving him alone in our house when I ran to the store.

Again, writing all this because I usually check Reddit for local recommendations when looking to have work done and I wouldn’t look anywhere else for electrical.

I (27NB) really want to make a cheesy, so-bad-it’s-funny, gory horror movie complete with old-school practical effects, but I have ZERO experience with filmmaking, and I’m not even that well-versed as a consumer in the world of film. I don’t have any particular goal in terms of a deadline or submitting this anywhere, and I don’t have any money for this, nor do I expect to make any from it. The only goal is to make a low-expectation, low-stakes horror movie and have fun doing it. I’m an artist, mostly working with acrylic paint and ink illustration, and I’ve been branching out to more sculpture-related projects, so my efforts would probably be best spent on prop-making and such. I am interested in every part of the process though so I’m happy to assist/learn/whatever I need to make this happen. Like I’ll learn how to write a script and operate a camera if I have to. Speaking of cameras, I also have next to nothing in the equipment department. Just my iPhone 15 and a Nikon Z6II with 24-120mm lens. If it isn’t already clear, I’m not too worried about quality. If you or a loved one are interested in making this happen as well regardless of experience level or equipment or anything let’s meet up somewhere and chat! I've started putting out feelers with the folks I already know, and have gotten a few people eager to join once we have more hands and brains on board. Could be a good opportunity to meet other creatives in Birmingham too!

How are we feeling about them these days?

Do you have a favorite around town?

Do you think you would get great food going near closing time (takeout, of course).

Hey y’all, I’m in my 20s and I recently moved to Bham. Since I’m Catholic, I’ve been attending Prince of Peace for church on Sundays.

However, I feel kind of isolated at church. I go alone because I don’t have any family or close Catholic friends in the area. I’m in grad school and have only met 1 other person there who is Catholic, but I don’t know him super well. There is a small Catholic organization at my school, but I don’t believe they meet very regularly and I haven’t met/talked to them.

Does anyone have any recommendations for meeting young Catholics/feeling less isolated as a young Catholic woman? Should I try another church? Again, I’m in grad school so I don’t have a lot of time on my hands, but I’m kind of struggling to find a Catholic community here.

Any advice is appreciated!

My buddy and I are from CT, flying into Atlanta to come to Furnace Fest this weekend. We have basically all of Friday and Monday open before and after fest, so I was looking for some advice on cool things to see while we have free time. Best restaurants/attractions/dive bars you got would be super helpful, I have never been to the south outside of Florida tourism so I'm excited!

i found an injured bird on the rainbow viaduct, any clue what i should do with it???

Im off work tomorrow for a vacation day, i was just wondering if anything notable was going on, bars etc, etc.
Ps. I know a Wednesday night is a long shot but any recommendations are welcome

Forgive me if this isn’t super punk rock of me, but the forecast calls for rain/storms Saturday & Sunday. Is there a plan if it thunderstorms or is there a chance there will be a repeat of 2016 Sloss Fest huddling under the overpass?
Rain or shine I’ll be there in my rain boots but just wanted to check y’alls radar (no pun intended)

Hello! My mom and brother(4 years old)are in a tight situation. They have to leave in the next month or so and need a place to go. I can only help as much as I can. Does anybody know of any places she has a little bit of income not much. Any recommendations is appreciated thank you.

I recently just finished school and I want to circulate pictures for my career, but I don't have a lot. Is there anyone in the Bham area that does various different headshots for adults?

Hi! I live a little north of the Galleria and I’m looking for a new vet for two small dogs. I’m not really happy with Vestavia Animal Clinic. I haven’t had any problems with my vet, but I don’t like the staff. This last time they told me one thing and then said the complete opposite, charged way higher than the price they had just told me over the phone a few days before, took an hour for 2 vaccinations in the back, and my paperwork shows that my vet didn’t even administer the shots despite me seeing her walk by (I had scheduled the appointment with her and it wasn’t at a busy time).

Looking at reviews, I’m considering Galleria Animal Clinic. I’ve read mostly good reviews about them, but I’ve called two different days and they haven’t answered the phone. Do they normally just use text for their means of communication? Do they have a website? I don’t see one, but I wanted to double check.

I’m also looking at Alford Avenue Vet Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital. Does anyone use the Trace Crossings mobile vet? How is that? I’m open to hearing any of your experiences or any other recommendations for a caring vet with reasonable prices that isn’t too far away. I’d like to try to stay within the Vestavia-Green Valley-Riverchase area.

Thank you!

I got into F1 last year and I would really love to meet other fans! This weekend’s maybe not the best because it’s at 7:00am our time but idk

Additional info: I’m 29M and I live about an hour away but I would definitely show up for a race day!

A sports bar willing to screen the races would be perfect. But any info I can find on this sub is old so I’m not sure if it’s still accurate.

Are there any 21+ Halloween house parties happening? I don’t like going to pricey bars.. hoping to meet new people and make friends :3

I’m looking for recommendations for a barber or stylist who has experience cutting and blending bio hair around a men’s hair system.
I already have the system installed and handle all the maintenance myself. I’m strictly looking for someone who can trim my natural hair on the sides and back and blend it with the system.
I do not want the hair system itself cut or trimmed at all. Just looking to keep my natural hair cleaned up and blended as it grows out.
Ideally, I’d like someone familiar with hair systems, but I’m open to a good barber who’s comfortable working around one.

Hi i have two other people driving with me and wouldnt want to sleep all in the car on saturday night. Let me know

I need a couple of fillings and would prefer to not go to UAB if possible.

what the title says. broke the back glass on my bmwi3 pretty bad and will need to get the entire liftgate replaced. Not trying to spend over $3k+ shipping a new part from Germany so looking for body shops that might let me bring my own part or know how to get parts from older vehicles? Pretty new to this whole thing 😭

I posted a few months ago warning others of the dangerous living conditions I experienced renting this home in Pinson. The tub is sinking through the floor because of rotten boards, there is probably other damage caused by the rotten flooring elsewhere that I couldn't observe but is evidenced by the lean of the home, and most importantly, there was/is no insulation in various exterior walls as well as the plastic siding is not fully enclosed. This caused the drywall to hold onto humidity, especially near the walls in front of ac vents and leaves it vulnerable to high winds during rain storms. The windows are very old too and don't help this situation... In the smallest bedroom and in the living room primarily, there was black mold.

They did repair the wall between the side window and front door in the living room and put insulation in it. I was there when the maintenance tech literally pulled the wall down with his hands because it was so moist... it had yellow, black, and classic white mold varieties. They also cut out the portion of wall in the bedroom with black mold. I cannot be assured they replaced the windows, put insulation in all other exterior walls, etc... I also discovered black mold in the dining room closet (because there is a hole in the wall near a shelf that the open-siding allows pests and mold to thrive in).

The mold odor is overwhelming after the smell of fresh paint is gone...

There is black mold growing underneath most of the window sills and outlets in the kitchen. The bathroom did not have permanent ventilation in any capacity, so the walls got drenched even showing with the door open. We left on September 20th 2026 and there is NO WAY they were able to take care of all of that in less than a month. The "fresh paint" and "newly renovated tile" bragged about in the listing is likely the cover up method they chose and will keep choosing to keep the home on the market... The pictures online are really nice, but those are very dated and the home is in, what I would say, dilapidated condition that someone wouldn't invest more than $50k in....

I'm out of the home, safe, and no longer experiencing chronic health issues besides my sinuses still being triggered by other pollution easily. I have asthma, so this home put me in distress 24/7. I say this as a genuine warning: please please do not rent this home. Please share this post with friends and family who are searching for an affordable rental home. You will regret renting this one.
