SHITPOST Interesting job posting on Indeed for Bham area 👀

If you are looking for our sister city in the UK, please head on over to r/brum
The following guide is a great place for locals, transplants, and tourists to know more about the Magic City. Start here for general information, use the Search function to see if there are any recent posts that answer your question, and when in doubt, make a post!
Where to Live:
Here's a funny neighborhood map that is just true enough to be useful.
Here's a more serious neighborhood map so you can see where all the listed neighborhoods actually are.
Here's a list of the most-recommended neighborhoods and suburbs (arranged in alphabetical order):
For more information on apartments, Rentmonster will tell you about individual neighborhoods and work with you to find the apartment of your dreams (and it's free!)
Looking for an apartment? Looking for a roommate? There's a Facebook Group for that.
If you have a unique renting situation not covered above, make sure you have the word “apartment” in the post title or body, and Automod will respond with some tips.
Need a Job?
Beyond Indeed and LinkedIn, here are some local job boards that might help you fine-tune your search:

Where to Stay
Whether you're here for a business meeting, a vacation, a local planning a romantic night out, or a soon-to-be Birminghamster getting the lay of the land, you'll need a hotel for that. Birmingham has a pretty good selection of AirBnBs, but if you're looking for a proper hotel, here are your best options:
Getting Around
You'll need a car if you're going to live here. If you're just passing through and don't want to rent a car (the best place to do that is at the airport), we have Uber and Lyft. We have a bus system, but it's awful. We also have a bike and scooter share system within the city limits that is great for getting around when the weather is nice. Downtown is relatively flat and very walkable, but you will encounter some (gentle) hills in Five Points South and Highland Park. For trips out of town, Birmingham is serviced by Amtrak and Greyhound. You can get a ride to the Atlanta airport with Groome. BHM (our “international” airport) is small and easy to navigate, with short waiting times at check-in and through security.
What to do:
The most frequently recommended attractions in Birmingham are as follows. There are MANY others not featured in this list, but these are the top 6:
Several guides for Birmingham area attractions by IN Birmingham
Birmingham365 is a list of events going on around the city
Happenin's in the 'Ham - list of events, restaurant reviews, volunteer opportunities, and interviews with locals
We have r/Birmingham meetups sometimes, but not on a regular basis (yet). Turnout varies, but is usually around 15-25 people. We're very friendly and welcoming of newcomers!
Live Music (not an exhaustive list)
Local Sports
Where to eat: It would be impossible to maintain a comprehensive and accurate list of Birmingham’s favorite restaurants, as there are openings and closings every month. This is a great time to use the subreddit search function and see what others have posted recently.
Where to drink: Again, the search bar is your best friend here for finding the current best bars.
Things to Know about Birmingham
Isn't Birmingham dangerous? Okay, we do have a higher crime rate, but you have to understand that the neighborhoods listed at the top of this page are all popular areas to live because the crime rate is lower than average for Birmingham. The vast majority of violent crime happens between people who know each other and/or when drugs are involved. As long as you use common sense, you will be fine!
Is there anything else you’d like to see in this guide? Post it in the comments or DM u/bhambetty!

I have a rapidly emerging problem with my lawn health (grass and soil are dying) and my current lawn care service is being unresponsive about helping me solve it. I need a new lawn care company experienced in grass/soil health diagnostics and remediation. Are there any recommendations for an experienced lawn care service?

My toddler is 3. He will be 4 in September. And at the moment I cannot have another child. Fertility issues. He is so lonely. We take him to the park and to the splashpad but he has a pretty tough time making friends and doesn't do well with a lot of kids. He is best 1 to 1. Or with 2-3 other kids at a max just due to limited exposure. Homewood park is amazing but he ends up playing alone because its so crowded. As well as the splashpad in Pelham. A couple of weeks ago we took him to pleasant grove park. There was a little girl there who said she was 8. They played for a few mins then she had to leave. He followed her everywhere. And almost cried when she left. I have one friend who has a child, she's going to be 6 next month. And they play together fine but they butt heads because their play styles are different. They're both only children and she can get a bit bossy and dramatic and yells at him often. I just have no idea what to do. I guess I'm asking does anyone have a lonely toddler as well who needs a playdate?

I’m aware of the evening and night differentials for nurses but is anyone aware of any weekend diff? Can’t seem to get a straight forward answer. New grad needing help deciding if agreeing to work all weekends (nights) is worth it

My daughter is in her 3rd semester of nursing school and struggles with the exams. She has met with her teachers and they feel confident she knows the material. She has to make a 91 on her next exam and I am trying to see if there is anyone that can tutor her for it. Unfortunately it's in a week and a half. Anyone know where to look for a nursing tutor on short notice?

Hi all,
As the title describes, I’m looking for an injector that specializes in facial balancing after Bell’s palsy.
I’ve used cosmetic/wellness spa injectors in the past, but I’m not getting the outcome I’m looking for - those seem to focus more on instagram face or removing all wrinkles whereas I’m trying to find a more targeted muscle movement approach to make my face look like it did before.
Thank you in advance!

For the last 3 months my water bill has been exactly the same. Over $181.00 saying I used over 9,000 gallons. My wife and I are the only 2 people in the house. One of those months we were out of town for 2 weeks. I’ve looked at the meter, and there are times the dial is not spinning, so I know there is not a leak. Called the utility, was number 84 on hold. Held for over an hour. They were unable to provide any information. Told me I had a leak. Duh, I’ve already disproved that. Told me they read the meters every 28 day, which I don’t believe. I have a home in Baldwin county, my water bill there is less than $30.00, and sewer less than $ 40.00.
Is there any agency looking in to this dysfunctional utility? Is Alabama’s Attorney General or anyone in Montgomery looking out for the consumers from this fraudulence over billing these jerks are getting away with?
