I really appreciate rabbi’s comments on what a fine city Birmingham is. Sure it’s had its problems, but these days at its heart is a strong artistic community and a lot of forward-thinking people who support art and culture in the region. We have a sucessful film festival, Sidewalk, which shows films at the Alabama, The Lyric and the Carver among others.
I mainly wanted to mention that the Alabama Theatre is also a great venue for concerts, with superb acoustics and an intimate setting. I’ve personally seen Bob Dylan, The Black Crowes, Allison Kraus and many other shows there. I’ll pay extra for a show at the Alabama, because it’s always been a memorable experience. And speaking of films, I also saw Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” there. Too cool.
