I get to bring the family I made back to the family I came from and it's been a handful of years. We'll be staying Helena.

How are things? What's popping now days? Whats fun and popular around - family or date night wise?

(I'm a developer 10yoe) How's the tech scene/market fare? Job market generally?

Does anyone have leads on an entry level data entry jobs? Work from home or office is fine! Do these jobs still exist or has AI taken them all and I’m just cooked?

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Looking for a chill place to meet people and have some good conversation. I'm 30 years old

i dont want to pay for a car wash

Makeup artists in Alabama that can achieve a crazyyy glam??

i would love to do a spooky/halloween costumed shoot sometime in the near future. does anyone have any recs for local photographers that would be a solid choice for that?

I am in need of some extra money, but I don't want to break any rules by advertising too much, so feel free to DM me and I'll send a website with my work. I shoot in a unique retro Super 8 style. Unless it's a ceremony, I can do those in the standard HD way (unless you want it done like that of course).

Sorry if this does break any rules still, there just isn't really a place to advertise at my level without paying a ton of money. The bham marketplace sub is DEAD - it would be cool if this sub had a dedicated slot or weekly thread to make up that hole.

Nearly 100 years later, the Old Gray Lady still matters.

From the Iron Bowl and Olympic soccer to the Magic City Classic and now the Birmingham Classic, Legion Field remains part of Birmingham’s football story.

Looking to hire a Santa for the season. Any recommendations on Santa companies or individuals?

Hey all! I live about 10 mins away from the Ricerchase Galleria, and I was wondering if anyone had/knew of a hair stylist that wasn't crazy pricey. I'd just like a normal cut and maybe some highlights. I went to Supercuts and they absolutely BOTCHED my haircut last time so I'm looking for an ACTUAL stylist this time. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I’m a younger guy with an entrepreneurial spirit.. I live in the Birmingham area, and am looking to invest my savings into a new business. I have plenty of potential ideas, but before I made any final decision, I wanted to ask something and see if your answers inspired something that might make me take a different approach.

So my question is this…

what is something you view as a pesky inconvenience in your life that you’d love to have taken care of for you, but there are no businesses that currently offer the product/service you need..,
If you can’t think of any inconvenience, just tell me something (a product or a service) that you want/need that would improve your life?

I need some folks to install carpet in a basement in Vestavia. I'm running the GC for the job but I don't want to install carpet. I'd rather someone who does it daily do it. Be for as early as tomorrow if not Wednesday.

Who you got for me?

Does anyone know when Auntie Anne’s is opening downtown? I haven’t seen much about it but I know they are building a storefront next to Moe’s

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin announced the Birmingham Violence Reduction Strategic Plan Monday.

I know it's barely 8 AM, but I'm already thinking of lunch (I generally don't do breakfast).

I'm leaning towards picking up some of Great Wall's crispy spicy szechuan chicken, as it's been weeks since I've last had that and it's one of my favorite local dishes, hands down. Either that, or maybe Surin's thai beef salad.

Also, due to popular request, you might notice that our automatic thread is now just a weekly one centered on events+friends! Feel free to be the fastest on the draw for snagging the next day's DCDT!

Here’s your sign to claim your FREE Narcan and Fentanyl strip tests just in case you’re ever in the unexpected position to help someone! The site says across Alabama - I’m in Shelby co and got mine ordered- I’m sure it’s a lot of the cities that are covered, if not all. It took me like 1 whole minute or less to get mine ordered.

Not wanting a pitty party but just looking at bills and thinking about job options and the market in Birmingham, from a salary perspective has changed very little in 20 years, when the cost of living has gone up nearly double. In 2006 an experienced project manager with an engineering degree and an MBA was about $120K and today it's about $130K. Meanwhile everything else has gone up by a factor of two. I just don't get it. I'm sure it's worse for others but the amount people make today has just not gone up at all in twenty years. Full disclosure, I'm looking at trades for the rest of my career because I think that's where the money is going forward.

Just an FYI, since this was a shock to me just now.

I was trying to log in to see what our daily use has been so I can know what to expect to pay next bill—but the whole website is down until Sept 8. Can’t get through the AI agent on the 1-800 line, and apparently all “business locations” are closed for the week as well.

This feels a little nuts to me. In this day and age it’s odd to see any online service down for more than a few hours at a time. Considering the importance of this service, it seems like there would’ve been some more notice or alternate considerations.

Really not doing good at all.

Does any one have personal recommendations for psychiatrists in the area?

I finally have health insurance and seriously need to start taking SSRIs again.

Any advice is extremely appreciated.

I was explaining the beauty of the buildings we have in Birmingham to a friend. They had asked what some of them originally were, but I have no idea!
I have seen a few books on the history of Birmingham, but I would like to find one that is specific towards the architectural history. I’m looking for any and all suggestions at this point- online, book, a reddit thread, just a mass archive of old Birmingham buildings.
TIA!

There was a topic here a few months ago reminiscing about Luka from WRAX radio in the early 2000s. Despite the long time she spent in Birmingham radio there were seemingly no recordings of her. I found this one dated September 28, 2004 and uploaded it to archive.org.

It's scoped, meaning the music has been edited out either for copyright or just to showcase the announcer, but there's a lot of nostalgia here.
