I have to say that I am glad that I do not live in the city of Birmingham, AL.
Larry Langford was just recently voted for the Mayor seat starting next year. Monday night they had his inauguration(to induct into office with formal ceremonies) dinner for him to speak about what he wants to see happen in B'ham.
Lanfords biggest thing before he was inducted into office was getting a Dome Stadium to Birmingham and that is almost all he has spoken about since he won.
Well, it seems like B'ham is going to get a Dome Stadium, for a team we DO NOT HAVE, and if you don't like it, then stay home while everyone else is going to the Dome Stadium; again to see the NFL or some other kind of huge team that we do not have. Birmingham can't even keep the Steel Dogs or any other kind of team that we have tried in the past.
Birmingham has the fastest growing crime rate in Alabama and exceeds their previous rate every year. HOW TERRIBLE! People are going to support a "stupid" idea of building a Dome when the money that they are going to use could be used to "clean up the streets" of crime. Go door to door in the crime areas and start busting the crack houses, gangs, etc.
But, I have a better idea; Let's build a Dome in a part of the city that crime takes place and let us go to functions that take place there and risk getting mugged or something of the sort. Smart, very smart Langford!
This is not a, "If you build it they will come." We need to already have a reason for it. Alabama is a College Football State. Though there are people who like the NFL, etc. we have no need for this Dome.
Okay, I'm done! That was my 2 cents worth! Did I mention that I am glad that I do not live in the City of Birmingham.

Amen and Amen!!!!!! Yeah, lets build a dome stadium for a team we don't have and NOT give our police/fire people a raise that is LOOOONG overdue. Instead of hiring new officers since they complain they're short... lets just build a dome stadium b/c that will solve all of b'hams problems! Instead of tearing down old abandon houses that now are used for crime... lets build a dome stadium! Instead of putting money into THOUSANDS of other things that Birmingham can actually benefit from... say it with... Lets build a dome stadium!
