Paging Gumps and Barners, moving to Birmingham tomorrow. What to do?

Well, finally getting out of Midland and McAllen Texas (hell of a dry spell needless to say), and moving to Birmingham tomorrow. Got a lot of family out there which is a plus, but want to know more about what there is to do there. Bars, restaurants, areas to live in, etc.
Definitely in perfect positioning for the football season, hitting up Atlanta, Nashville, and Oxford for all of the big games.

Birmingham is being reitalized at the moment. I've heard nothing but good things on the progression of the Downtown area.
Just stay away from any unarmed teens at gas stations.

I lived in Hoover for 2.5 years from '11-'13. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, it's mostly LSU folks on here who aren't familiar with Bham that rag on it most.
Just like with any city, it's what you make of it. Lakeview is a solid young professional type crowd with some really good bars and restaurants. It's been a while so I can't remember specifics as far as streets and whatnot, but I'm sure some Bhamians will be along shortly to help you out. Good luck.
Oh, and yes...the gumps are insufferable. You think they're bad online? Geez, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Define Birmingham.
Birmingham can mean this....
Or this...

You're going to have to be a bit more specific.

Don't listen to the people that have never been to Birmingham.
Check out bars/breweries like Good People and Avondale. Go to a Thirsty Thursday at the Baron's new stadium. restaurants downtown like Rojo, Pancake House, Saws. Others like Sam's Super Sandwiches in Homewood.
They're a lot of good bars like Innisfree, Tin Roof, Paramount, and Parkside.
Areas to live? not knowing much about you I would say either Homewood, Avondale, Highlands.

Single?
My recommendations would be Mtn Brook, Hoover, Homewood or Southside.

Kickball is starting to get big in Bham.
On tap, Innisfree on Thursday, several good restaurants in downtown/lakeview area. Avondale Brewery is cool, Courtyard 280 if you like to play pool/cornhole..

Move to Vestavia Hills and thank me later.

I live here in Bham, love it. What part of town are you moving to? Lakeview is the cool bar area you will hangout in. Uptown is also making a move as a cool area.
Sidebar on Friday and Saturday nights is the spot.

For places to live, I'd look at Homewood, Southside, Cahaba Heights, and possibly Avondale or downtown proper. The entertainment, restaraurants, and bars in the same areas are pretty good.
Bham catches hell from most folks here, but it's a good place to live and it's getting better.

Only in B'ham for a few months with no family, I'd try to find a loft rental downtown.
Avoid the 280/I65 drives if you can.
