The "New Birmingham", Alabama, South, USA

Just read an article this morning about cities no longer "chasing smokestacks" for business citizen-residents. Those days are gone for now!

The two really make such different images of Birmingham - quite interesting together.

@rhoing They are gone, but they are what built many cities, including this one!

@julienne1 Thank you Julienne!

[GaryW]

@daisymiller Thanks, Daisy!

[GaryW]

@randystreat No, but that industry is what built this city.

@milaniet Agree. This is quite a diverse city.
