I travel far out of my way to avoid passing through that foul city. Alabama's a way nicer state than most realize. That does not apply to Birmingham.
Birmingham's motto: "Still better than West Memphis!"
Typical USian. This is the original Birmingham, not your cheap copy.
huh, I didn't know both Birminghams had significant rocket industries until today.
Is this Birmingham, Alabama or Birmingham, UK, though?
Based on the endless gray clouds I'm going to say UK (and also that they call a gas station a "garage" despite no mechanics on duty).
Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas
What do you call it, a "car hole"?
The style of architecture (notice the roof shingles, chimney shape, the dark red brick low wall between the street and the pump court and the iron fence in the middle of the road that goes by the pump - the photo was taken from the other side of the road), the kind of cars there, the weather and even the guy working with a reflective vest (all the way to the right of the picture) all suggest UK.
In fact even without the title the whole thing looks very UK (as opposed to other places in Europe, though I wouldn't be as sure).
I lived in Britain and this picture immediatelly said "familiar" and "UK" as soon as I saw it. What's funny is that to write this post I had to try and understand what elements made it so familiar.
You can tell it's British by the fact that there are two white vans and not a pick-up truck in sight.
White vans, no less.
This was my thinking
