Should call it the Cantrell Cup.

My mom retired when they closed it but she worked at EKL for 35 years. Not sure why but she preferred working there to one of the other hospitals. I guess state benefits and retirement but she would tell me some stories.

Does it have to be in the city limits or does metro-area count? Birmingham proper has only had 49 murders this year, but if you include Jefferson County, that number jumps to 62. If we include Tuscaloosa, Shelby, St. Clair, and Calhoun Counties (the television market for the Birmingham area), that number jumps to 77.
ETA: two murders in Bessemer LINK. That's 25 points (two murders and one who got shot but didn't die) for the 'Ham.

This just reminds me how little sense the old NFC West made in the 80’s-90’s.

My sister-in-law used to be an ADA at the Bessemer Courthouse. The local cops at time were so inept that the DA's office had taken to sending ADAs to every murder scene to make sure the cops didn't muck up the investigation. Anyway, she'd have weekends where she was "on call" for such an event. From time-to-time my wife would call her brother to invite them to a cookout, kid's play, etc. and he would say, "we may be able to make it, but Jennifer is 'on call' this weekend." The MIL would always say, "oh, good, they're probably coming then," to which I'd have to explain that the chances of her not having to work a murder scene on the west side of Birmingham were about as good as my chances of crapping gold bars.

I think Jefferson County would be fair, not the whole metropolitan statistical area.

My wife is from there and lived in Ensley in the 70s and early 80s. I've been to see her childhood home before. Driving around that area and Wylam rivals the ghettos we have in South LA.

That area called The Brickyard used to be pretty scary. Looks like they tore it down and put up a more modern version of projects. I'm sure it will look like shite in 10 years though

Now it looks like something the army cleared in Iraq. There's people living in houses behind the Lowe's in Bessemer with their windows boarded up - not to stop the wind, but to keep their neighbors from stealing the aluminum windows for scrap.

Same thing in BR. Most of the ghettos here were blue collar neighborhoods 50 years ago. I wouldn't drive through some of them in the daytime now. I'd be willing to bet most of the cities in this thread are similar. It's sad.

Add 10 for BR for the two women shot as a result of a traffic accident. Put an asterisk because there's a chance for that to jump as one is in critical condition.

Doing this bracket style as we approach the real heat of the summer would be fun.
