As long as you stay east of the DMZ (I-65) then Bham is a cool place.


Gate City and the Airport are east of 65. Plus Leeds and Irondale.

Gotta get way way east

I'd just go south of downtown or more specifically south of Lakeshore and I'm not sure that is a good qualifier. I'd say small pockets throughout Birmingham minus the west side.

Seattle, WA is awesome but people seem to only think of dreary weather

Seattle gets a ton of hype though. Definitely not underrated. Easier to argue that it's overrated and I say that as a resident of the Seattle metro.

Flagstaff is overrated. Cost of living is ridiculous. Jobs are scarce. Housing scarce and currently priced at about 200% of what it should be. Very serious homeless problems. Growth of the city and the university there is not in synch at all. Lot of liberal idiots there. Great weather though.

Still has to be one of the most beautiful places in this country I've ever been.

I think Seattle is a bit overrated and Portland is underrated but both great cities. I LOVED the week I spent for a conference in PDX back in 2014.

We were only there for like a day so I don’t know much about the economics of Flagstaff but I just remember it being strikingly scenic. I guess I wasn’t expecting it so it really took my by surprise. We ended up delaying our trip by about a day just checking out Flagstaff and the surrounding area.

Fort Worth.

Despite its image as "Cowtown" it is actually quite sophisticated. The Kimbell Art Museum has several paintings that are the only ones of certain artists in the United States (including the first portrait ever by Michelangelo, The Torment of Saint Anthony).
