Serious Cyclist on Shades Creek/Lakeshore

18 Upvotes

Please I am BEGGING do not ride at busy times on busy roads. I saw multiple cars almost wreck trying to go around you and people almost hit you (including me, I’m very sorry). There are nearby trails down the road in Mountain Brook.

You were a male wearing blue and a black helmet and I saw you around 9:30 AM. I understand that we don’t have good infrastructure for cyclists (sidewalks, biking lanes, etc.) but I do not want you to get hurt or cause a wreck!

Recommendations Church recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am really lacking community/ friends in my life, thinking maybe church could help me with this. I grew up going to a very very conservative (gay people, people with criminal history, people with tattoos, etc. were completely banned from the church) fire and brimstone, you’re going to burn in hell for breathing the wrong way kind of church. I am very liberal, socialist, queer, and non judgmental (I am a therapist) and I would really like my church to be accepting and preach socialism and preach in a liberal/ progressive way. I do not know if this exists in Alabama, but worth a shot to try. I do tarot and love astrology so I am not sure if I would be condemned for enjoying these types of things within a church. I have a ton of tattoos and often have brightly colored hair. My values are community, love, kindness, and taking care of the people around you. I have not been to church since I was in high school, 6 years ago. I am not sure if I identify with church really, but I am wanting to give it another try.

Thanks :)

EDIT**
Heavy on volunteer work and getting involved with the community

Also I’m 24 so people relatively my age, but majority of my friends are 29-35!

Advice Street parking in front of a closed business -

7 Upvotes

I'm wondering if that street is property of the business? A closed (as in not operating) business left a note on my car and others (including the cars across the street) saying "this is not a parking space". This street is not metered. Is it actually his space?

Hi everyone! I'm 14 weeks pregnant and wanting to find a doula. I've sent in a message to BHMBORN and Gentle Childbirth Services. Does anyone have a recommendation?

There was a post here asking for doula recs that I found in the search but it didn't get much traction so hoping this one will.

13 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations in the area for a makeup artist/hair stylist that can work well with nonbinary, queer, more alternative leaning styles for my wedding coming up? We’re not the biggest fans of the basic “bridal glam” and have struggled to find MUAs who can provide the kind of service we prefer. We have curly hair in the party as well as trans and nonbinary individuals and are a lesbian couple getting married! And please if anyone has anything nasty to say, please feel free to scroll. <3

Recommendations Hometown Supermarket

79 Upvotes

I went to Hometown Supermarket today and it was an experience! My quest was Enoki mushrooms that Publix denies me. I spent an hour in there and I have no idea what 75% of what I looked at but I’m going back. Can I get a guide!? I felt like I was in a culinary temple but had no reference. What were the tiny black bananas? The homemade kimchi was unlike any store bought brand, in the best way. The seafood, they had live aquariums of fish! Crabs, frozen fish. I didn’t even hit the frozen section. I had a question and the worker asked me to tell me on my phone what I was looking for. When we couldn’t figure it out someone else helped me. They had a vending machine on the way out with only press on nails. These are my people.

The Alabama Theatre is showing Hocus Pocus at 7:00 PM. Be sure not to get scammed and only buy your tickets through Ticketmaster. Go through the Alabama Theatre website to purchase tickets: alabamatheatre.com

A lot of the Christmas movies will sell out so this is a good time to make it to the Alabama Theatre!

After a few years my Steam Deck's battery has taken a nose dive and needs to be replaced. The battery is glued in there and the repair is one that I'd rather outsource instead of doing myself. Instead of sending it in, I thought I might check and see if anyone had any recommendations for electronic repair services around Birmingham or Hoover. Any shops or individuals who might be able to do this? Thanks!

Recommendations Looking for local boutiques

4 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a local leather artisan based out of Cahaba Heights and I was hoping someone here might know of local boutiques around Vestavia/Hoover/Mtn. Brook that are willing to have locally made goods in their stores? I’d love to get a few of my pieces on display in time for the holidays and I know locally owned retailers are often eager to carry locally made products. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
