The people are wonderful, the city clean....great restaurants and things to do, everythIng. Yeah, some naysayers will come on and slam the city, but there is just something about the place.

And even all over the state's except for places like North Dakota and that area. I lived in NC for a couple years and I do like other parts of America but honestly I only want to live in bham. It's such a weird thing to describe but the place just has a vibe and feeling that I can't get anywhere else. Going downtown after eating on a summer night is the absolute best. Everyone is just so nice and it's always a good feeling being out and about with friends here.

True, the simplicity of it keeps people here.

For those asking why no one is walking around. For one, It's a car city, a lot of sunbelt cities are like this... Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, LA, Miami, etc.. a lot of urban sprawl causes this. Hence why the interstates are usually bumper to bumper. If you want to see people walking you have to go to the shopping areas of these cities. Downtown is usually just business districts. Can't compare this type of city to places like NYC, Boston, Philly, etc. built totally different. Also, depends on the time of the day, as mentioned the only time you'll see a lot of people moving about downtown is lunchtime, or when people are going home. Just a totally different city.

Lived here all my life. The city went downhill in the 80's and early 90's while the suburbs were flourishing. A lot of it was blamed on "white flight" but in the late 90's middle class black families started moving out of the city as well due to high crime and bad schools. They've made some great progress cleaning up and revitalizing the downtown area in recent years but the same two major issues of crime and education are still a problem.
