Heck, Birmingham, AL has almost every shopping and dining option that ATL has, identical weather, with less than half the crime, a third of the traffic, and nearly none of the OVERBEARING homo presence.

Atlanta in the top ten? Atlanta in the top 50 is a joke.

Have heard some good things about the Birmingham area. Just a thought...perhaps the overwhelming homosexual presence in Atlanta is exactly why the choosers chose Atlanta over Birmingham. Maybe to them, it is a plus! (Merely a wild guess, I hope they don't sue me for speculating this way...:o) )

It's an Alabama and Tennessee trait to compare Birmingham and Knoxville to major cities and think that they stack up. It's embarrassing when I visit my old hometown on the GA/TN/AL border and hear them spout off such ignorant nonsense.

Birmingham has nothing to compare to Buckhead or Midtown. I would be interested in comparing the crime statistics as well.

Birmingham is a hole.
