Looking to relocate to AL - Birmingham or...???

I looked for a thread to add too but didn't notice one.

We have friends in the Sylacauga area and are seriously thinking of relocating to near by Birmingham or Montgomery (more up in the northern part of AL is where we are looking) but would like some input from people that are not only like minded but actually live in the area.

We are open to suggestions other than those two places as well.

I work in the telecom industry and should be able to find something just about anywhere but I'm hoping to do a transfer with the company I work with currently, we'll see.

 

I can't say much about northern Alabama, Auburn's nice, I've been here a little over two years and love the change from CA. I'll link this to the al thread.

 

90% of areas in our fine state are total shit holes. But that's just my opinion. There are many like it, many opposite. It all depends on what you are after in a locale to call home.

What are you hoping for? Let us know that and we can be of more help.

 

I'm just north of Sylacauga, in Chelsea. I enjoy it. Good schools and mostly affordable housing. @nagorb just attached this to the Alabama thread so you're about to get a lot more responses

 

Dont know much about the telecom industry. What kind of livin you like to do? City, country, little of both?

 

Lots of urban sprawl in Birmingham, avoid it like the plague unless you like hour long drives to work.

 

@camit34 just letting you know. This guy, ^^^^, is a drunk college freshman so don't pay him any attention.

 

Telecom here is booming with fiber. But fuckkkkkkkkkkk Birmingham. Move to huntsville.

 

I’m not drunk, and I lived in Birmingham for 12 years

 

I’m talking about actual Birmingham not Chelsea line

 

Yet, and you weren't driving to work. Your PARENTS were driving to work after dropping you off at daycare, or school.

 

I still drove myself around for two years in Birmingham man, that rush hour traffic is no joke

 

You lived there as a child, your opinion is not valid.

Go drink some beers with the bros

 

Damn, I'm sensing some local drama spilling over into this thread.

 

Can’t, doing chemistry right now. Beers with the bros was last night

 

Well, help the guy out! We don't need the Huntsville is better than bham crap again.









Which it probably is

 

Just got to give the drunk college kid a hard time.

 

Damn drunks!

 

Do I need to get a breathalyzer to prove to you I’m not drunk? Dude if I’m drunk how am I typing this well

 

I’m done being criticized, you guys have fun
