I'm excited, stressed, and nervous all at the same time

Where are decent housing areas relatively close to that area? I may just get an apt. for a year.
BTW where are the crappier parts of town to avoid?

I've lived in Birmingham for 19 years and I love it; I'm even going to college here. You need to live in Hoover or Mountainbrook. Wayne how have you been? I haven't seen you around in while.

Well, I'm one step closer to this move being a reality! Met with the GM yesterday & confirmed my pay would stay the same which should be pretty decent money there and they will pay for some of my moving expenses too. They are making arrangements to send me out there to check the place out so I'll let you know when I'll be there

Not sure how much you are willing to spend on a house or what size you want but the suburban northern Shelby County area has a good selection to choose from. It's where I grew up.

I live in the Pinson area which is northeast of the 'ham. Pinson, Clay-Chalkville, Trussville, Argo and Springville are areas north of Birmingham that would be worth your time checking out for housing.

I'll be visiting Birmingham this Sat-Mon to see if I want to move there! I'm excited! I hope I like it so I can say goodbye to crappy Chicago winters. Where's a good place to go watch the Daytona 500 on Sunday?
