When I win I bring we with me
Breh I'm not a city planner or nothing but I'm certain it takes money to make money. Every event cost the city money in some way shape or form.

The classic isn't planned or wasn't planned by the city though.
It was between A&M and State on "neutral" ground, like the Iron Bowl, it worked out for Bham that it was chosen there and the respective schools do the planning for the event, city of Bham doesn't.
Now its good that the city welcomes the two schools, but it had nothing to do with the schools choosing that venue.

That said maybe they will have to start paying, because State has its new stadium that is isn't using for a lot of these classics and I"m sure A&M is expanding as well and like UA and Auburn that money would be better spent staying in house instead of going to bham.

Then say anything that happens in the blue inner circle is indicative of everything in that circle. Put simply just because there is a 50%(random number) chance there will be a shooting incident every [insert # of days] there aren't equal 50% odds that any ol person in the circle will be shot.

Example: of that kinda thinking at 7:30 - 8:30(sexy chocolate sister on the far left)


I'm not worried the postman is going to attack the elementary school teacher down the street.
I'm not worried the truck driver is going to attack the office worker down the street.
I'm not worried the nurse is going to attack the cable man down the street.
I'm not worried the church pastor is going to attack the auto repairman down the street.
Everyone knows where the fukkery comes from in the neighborhoods and where not to go:stopitslime: ...now who causes the fukkery is another question all together:whoa:
The people getting shot are manly those engaged in fukkery ...and for better or worse they stick to themselves and leave "civilians" mostly alone. Unless you in a place like Chicago wit strays popin damn near anybody :francis: .................:sadcam::snoop:

...and being that the steel industry has gone flatlined...

Bruh steel hasn't been a major industry in b'ham in damn near half a century :russ: ....B'ham aint going nowhere we are the major medical hub of the state bruh.

Medical Hub: (Got 2 or 3 aunts here)

In the 1970s and 1980s, Birmingham's economy was transformed by investments in bio-technology and medical research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and its adjacent hospital. The UAB Hospital is a Level I trauma center providing health care and breakthrough medical research. UAB is now the area's largest employer and the second largest in Alabama with a workforce of about 23,000 as of 2016.[42] Health care services providers HealthSouth, Surgical Care Affiliates and Diagnostic Health Corporation are also headquartered in the city. Caremark Rx was also founded in the city.



Banking Hub: (sister & aunt works here)

Birmingham is also a leading banking center, serving as home to two major banks: Regions Financial Corporation and BBVA Compass. SouthTrust, another large bank headquartered in Birmingham, was acquired byWachovia in 2004. The city still has major operations as one of the regional headquarters of Wachovia, which itself is now part of Wells Fargo Bank. In November 2006, Regions Financial merged with AmSouth Bancorporation, which was also headquartered in Birmingham. They formed the 8th largest U.S. bank (by total assets). Nearly a dozen smaller banks are also headquartered in the Magic City, such as Superior Bankand Cadence Bank. As of 2009, the finance & banking sector in Birmingham employed 1,870 financial managers, 1,530 loan officers, 680 securities commodities and financial services sales agents, 380 financial analysts, 310 financial examiners, 220 credit analysts, and 130 loan counselors.[43] While Birmingham has seen major change-ups with its banking industry, it was still the 9th largest banking hub in the United States by the amount of locally headquartered deposits in 2012.[44] A 2014 study found that the city moved down a spot to the 10th largest banking center.[45]


AT&T hub:(my parents, uncles and brother)

The telephone company that is now owned by AT&T Inc., which was formerly BellSouth and before that South Central Bell, which had its headquarters in Birmingham, has a major nexus in Birmingham, supported by a skyscraper downtown as well as several large operational center buildings and a data center.

That already came and went in the late 90s early 2000s:francis: ....they was crafty with that shyt, but not deadly:whew:.

1st they closed the public schools down in the downtown area(noone living downtown had a place to send their kids)
2nd then they shut down all(well not all) the projects in the city especially the ones downtown
3rd started building up the down town area with apartments & entertainment so that people could work & live downtown.
Basically all they wanted was downtown:ehh: ...and left everything else surrounding it alone.:whew:

I think they realized that they couldn't get the surrounding neighborhoods like they wanted.... too muck black ownership as far as residential property is concerned..... a lot of higher earning brothers and sisters need to move into those areas and revamp a lot of those homes....
