There are some attractive things to some people about living in Birmingham, or abouts.
Your hell hole is other people's heaven; navigable traffic, lakes galore, proximity to clear, warm, clear oceans. Backyards with trees, playsets, green grass.
Warm to hot 10 months of the year.
- grogenaut 8y agoI would so have a full fab and electronics shop by now if I lived in a place like birmingham. Last year for thanksgiving we were in Knoxville. Was looking at abandoned warehouses that I could flip. Downtown is tiny but nice and supplemented by the university. I’d have to take up rooting for the vols tho.
- Xcelerate 8y agoMoved from Knoxville to the Bay Area recently. If I had my own startup, it would definitely be in one of those old brick buildings near downtown.
- grogenaut 8y agoI will say the traffic along the main highway and series of strip malls is not fun though. Nor is the lack of any mass transit to the airport. However rental cars are dirt cheap there. I was LUSTING over this place though (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9679553,-83.9199396,3a,60y,41.95h,112.02t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s85QgyQqaOj0eZTQWbVATjg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9679553,-83.9199396,3a,60y,4...) was for sale at $2.2M when I was there last year. If only I could sell my house for 2x and I could think of a business to keep that place maintained would be about as dream of a place as I can think of.
