Observations of Birmingham, Al

[Starbolt13]

As a citizen of Mobile, welcome.  I was told when I moved here in '92 that there was 3 things you didn't talk about. Sports, religion and politics. cause down here sports it near enough religion as makes no difference and both are shot full of politics. I think this was said in jest but given I don't care about college or pro sports other than the occasional rally race or something else weird.   Goodwill is down here, the other 2 I've never see or heard of Rob. And yes the banking thing bites occasionally.   Also if you can find a Hudson's Treasure Hunt, or Hudson's Dirt Cheap check there. the selection is iffy but can occasionally find good deals. Example, I found the $150 vacuum sealer that Walmart has for about 30 bucks. Also a friend found a $1500 gas cook-top unit that eventually hit like 200.  the thing with the Hudson's store is they buy stuff where a store closes or store gets damaged, fire, storm what have you.  The longer the item goes without selling the higher the discount and lower the price.
