I'll admit... I was surprised to learn Birmingham has such a large metro. It handles itself very nicely under those conditions in my opinion.
Those skyline pictures are very nice. Birmingham is a very impressive city.

I'll agree with you. Off all cities in Alabama, Birmingham has impressed me most.
A tie between B'ham and Mobile for me.

Nice pictures everyone. I'd like to see more 
Check out the Magic City group on Flickr. We've got about 1200 photos of Birmingham, some of which have been contributed by other Urbanplanet and SkyscraperPage forum members.

Birmingham's in the top 10 in the SE in terms of skyline imo.
I agree, for a city with around 230,000 people, its skyline is top notch.

What building is this? I don't recall having seen it before.
That's the IMAX dome theater at the McWane Center (Science Museum). That photo was posted here from the Leer Corporation's website about their proposal for the Cabana Building. Not sure where they stole it from, but it's obvious they got all their promotional photos off the internet. For a while they were showing off images of Birmingham, England to entice prospective condo-buyers.

DOH! Good lord I should have known that, I've only been there 15 times. I think I need my prescriptions bumped up.
