What is unique about your community?

We love music! We’re thinking about starting a house band or putting together a Birmingham musical. We get along great! We have a trampoline – come jump on it!

Provide a brief description of Birmingham:

Birmingham is a small big city. There is lots of music, lots of BBQ, and everybody’s “fittin” to do something.

What do you like most about Birmingham?

We like the jazz, hills, friendliness, warm climate, and city planning (i.e. the way the city blends into neighborhoods and villages). We also love that we are so close to many other ACE communities.
