Birmingham Overview | An informative introduction to Birmingham, Alabama 

Not all of Alabama is just farmland haha! We also have rockets in Huntsville

NHL & NBA should just include newest hockey expansion teams in Birmingham, Alabama!🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

Yeah I hope it does as well!

It look like it's slowly heading in that direction.

@@vilheard3030 I was born & raised there. Every time things start going in the right direction, B'ham manages to gank itself.

@@jrlove1815 that's terrible,sounds like Auburn football haha. I'd like to see Auburn reach their full potential in my lifetime.

WRONG! IT IS A SLUM CITY!

That’s cool!

I'm in bham.. Cortland vista is a nice highrise real cool spot

That sounds awesome! Thanks for pointing that out!

@@CityGeek Skate park in Uptown is insane!!! Check it out on RU-vid.

Yeah it was really interesting to learn about! Thank you for the comment, as usual!

It isn’t, really!!

16TH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH

You're probably right that I should have added that. Thanks for the feedback!

A friend from St.Louis recently visited the city and said he was totally surprised by the number of high-end restaurants in the city .

Did you come yet?? I can give you suggestions

Lol I didn't think about that but now I want to play Catan too! Thanks!

Thank you!

Actually the true Huntsville metro population is 879,315. The number you see on Google is outdated and leaves out several towns that have recently been added.

Well in that case I’m really glad you found my channel! Thanks for the sub btw! I’ll be doing a video on Louisville before the end of the year 👍

I’m a big college football fan but I didn’t make that connection. That’s super interesting! Thanks for the comment!

@@CityGeek no problem glad to share that info

Thank you!

Thank you! Buffalo has actually been on my mind recently given the Bills success this year so I’ll be sure to do it soon 😊

lol whats wrong about it? i've never been there

@@KP99 I've lived in BHM most of my life. The crime is very bad in some areas - especially west of downtown. However, the improvements being made here over the past 10 years have amazed me. We are hosting the World Games this summer and everywhere you look things are being spruced up.

Lol sorry! My brother currently lives in the OG Birmingham so I’ve been thinking about eventually doing a video on that city

Lol. That’s weird because Birmingham, England is a lot larger, right? Not to mention older. Anyway, living in Birmingham and advertising online I end up with a lot of British followers. 😂😂

@@mistylee717 Birmingham in Great Britain is 150 miles sq and has a population of over 1.5 million citizens and is the UK's second largest city after London and is what Birmingham Alabama was named after.

@@mistylee717 Birmingham UK is the second largest City in the UK in population size with an area of 150 sq miles and 1.5 million + citizens and goes back to Anglo Saxon Times being called Beormingham which meant the the Homestead of the tribe of Beomha and the name changed over the years to Bermingham to the present day spelling of Birmingham. The spelling as you pronounce your Birmingham with the emphasis on Bir- Ming- HAM as in Ham and Birmingham Alabama was named after Birmingham UK in Victorian times.

@@mistylee717 Birmingham UK is the Uk's second largest City with a population of 1.5 million citizens so is a bit large than Birmingham Alabama USA, but Birmingham Alabama was named after Birmingham UK.

Thanks! That’d be cool. Hopefully it ends up being built. And I’d agree that it does look bigger than Memphis

As a resident I’m not too keen on it, I think you’re referring to the block. It’s nice but it’s design is really uncanny of every other building and also there just isn’t enough demand for a whole skyscraper. Who knows though maybe in the future someday.

@@nickoli0101 tbh I think the time is now Birminghams skyline hasn't changed in over thirty years, a signature tower would be beautiful and definitely change the skyline in a major way

@@tthorough4741 Definitely agree

They still thinking about doing "the Block"?

Oh cool! Yeah I have some friends who live there and they really like it. Thanks for the comment!

I just looked that up and it seems really cool. Thanks for pointing that out!

That’s interesting! I didn’t realize that

It wasn't called Birmingham in Viking Times, in fact I dought there was a town there at that time. Birmingham Alabama was named after Birmingham UK, the UK's second largest City by population of 1.5 million + people in Victorian times because of Birmingham UK's reputation as a top industrial city of the time.

Dr. Lemak says he still regrets not purchasing the franchise and moving it here.

🤞🤞🤞

I love that idea! I’ll add it to the queue 😊

@@CityGeek 🙏🏻 thank you

Thanks 😏

Right?? And the civil rights Walking tour. All must see things if you come here. The statues in the park are amazing and so sobering.

It's in Leeds, 16 miles outside of Birmingham.

That’s interesting! I’ll have to make a video on Montgomery. Thanks for the comment!

@@CityGeek Huntsville is officially the largest city in Alabama as of the 2020 census. However, BHM metro is by far the largest metro in the state.

Birmingham has 1.1 million in the metro area very close to each other The Cities surrounding it are very close. Same size as New Orleans Huntsville is the 2nd largest now

Birmingham has had for several years people moving out to the suburbs whereas the opposite has happened in Huntsville. I don’t live in the city limits but consider myself a Birminghamian. A lot of it depends on how much land-grabbing a city does. Long ago Birmingham went on land grabs and annexed nearby areas. There was so much pushback surrounding suburbs responded by doing the same thing. So for a long time there’s nowhere for Birmingham to grow land wise. Metro area is determined by what percentage of people in an area travel into the downtown to work. By that measure, Birmingham is far and away the larger city.

Actually after the final census count, Birmingham is now the third largest city behind Huntsville and Montgomery.

Where did you get that idea from, they actualy look similiar in style and looks

It's never been a utopia, but yeah crime is higher than ever

What would be a good area to find a bed and breakfast?

True he did it in reality in 1994 after bqnnoucef his pre retirement

Where is brimgham !!!

@@peterwilliamallen1063 Alabama

When was the last time you were here?

There's plenty to do in Birmingham!!!!!!!!

That's because of poverty inconvenience inequality.

​@@galeabernathy3921like what

Yes, should have said "steel."

@@drc3po that’s ok, this is the second video today where they said iron. 😂

🤣🤣🤣 that is like the UK city then

Probably for the best of all involved. Have a great life. We in Birmingham will be ok without you.

We’re here in Birmingham are doing just fine. I’m downtown all the time and have no fear. Some of the best food in the country

My brother actually lives in Birmingham UK right now but I’ve never been there so I wasn’t sure how it compares to Birmingham, Alabama.

This is Birmingham Alabama USA

Go to the dentist
