Downtown Birmingham is not exactly a place that I would describe as "charming." The prettiest part is around the government buildings. These are surround by a lot of empty store fronts and some entire blocks of empty buildings. There is a very lovely park in downtown that, unfortunately...at least on this Sunday morning, was filled with homeless people and pan handlers...so very, very sad. Famous Legion Field was a huge disappointment. It looks old and dilapidated and is in dire need of a major overhaul and refurbishing. The roads are horrible and signage leaves a lot to be desired. I am sure that there are some lovely parts of town, but we just could find them. The best I can say for the Birmingham that we saw is: "Been There, Done That!"
