I’m about to tell you what happened to Birmingham, Alabama from my own view and some from research. I was born in B’ham in 1981. During the ‘80’s and early 2000’s, those neighborhoods you seen was beautiful and well-kept because the older blacks and some whites who lived in the neighborhood kept their homes and the street clean and tidy. Birmingham is a blue collar city and at that time you had good factory jobs around like, McWayne, US steel Fairfield works, and stockham. My cousin use to work for stockham for over 33 years. My cousin lived an upper middle class life in Pratt City and many of his colleagues lived in Ensley, Fairfield, Powderly and other parts of the area that was filmed. Once the factory closed a lot of them seen their income cut in half and had to live off retirement, pensions, or savings. One of the major employers in the city is UAB. If you had a background in nursing you was good. When the recession hit in early 1990-s those jobs started to slowly phase out, the city of Birmingham was starting to slide,you couldn’t really see it but it was barely becoming noticeable, so a lot of educated black residence left the city and moved to Atlanta, Ga, Houston, Dallas, and other major cities. As you can, a lot of brain drain took place and the elite blacks moved to Shelby County along highway 280. On the west side of town where CharlieBoi shot the scenes, there are no major employers on that side of town, mostly fast-food restaurants, wings joints, etc. During the late 1990’s a lot of the older black residence was starting to die out and left their houses to younger generation and that where the decline came in. There was an increase in single motherhood, drugs and alcohol came into place. A lot of people on social security, those older people who have passed and left their homes to the children, never got the deeds or title updated and by the house still in their parents’ name, the city is missing out on a lot of tax base revenue. Everybody know that you can’t operate with tax, you need some kind of revenue to come in. during the early 2000’s recession - dot com bubble, Birmingham didn’t really hit that hard from what I could see, but it was the beginning to an spiral downfall for the city. The great recession came and finish it out and the city by being a blue collar city began to lose major jobs 64,000 jobs has been loss in 2007 according to Roy L. Williams -- The Birmingham News According to AL.com article 19,000 was lost last year. As you can see the city was not only cripple but laid flat, smashed. What you see is what going on really across America. Shrinkage. A lot of white collar jobs left there was two major call centers, Teletech (use to work there 2004-2008) and SITEL. Both provided good jobs and both moved overseas. Left a lot of young people unemployed. Wells Fargo home mortgage where I used to work- moved to Charlotte, NC. Alabama is one of the poorest states in the USA and Birmingham is known as fast-food capital. So there are not a lot of opportunity to succeed in the city, AT&T building downtown Birmingham is vacant. The city only have 1 major indoor mall, Riverchase Galleria which is starting fade. Western Hills Mall and Brookwood Mall are basically vacant. Century Plaza and Eastwood Mall are distant memories. Those apartment at the end, Central Gardens, when I stayed there the units were 90% occupied, what happened was the owner of the property Hubbard reality, sold the units to the guy from Mississippi, then they went down fast, first he got rid of the trash pickup from 2 times a week to 1 time a week, and then he started to hire the tenants to due to lawn care. Birmingham is in bad shape from what I can see and I wish it the best. Birmingham will always be in my heart. Again this is my personal opinion of the city, please comment with yours. the Birmingham News on February 28, 2010 at 5:30 AM, updated February 28, 2010 at 6:11 AM.

Good morning everyone, I want to thank everyone who read my comment about the Birmingham decline. I personally think that Birmingham could have been a great place if Larry Langford (RIP) would have been left as the mayor. According to my research, Birmingham is on the same decline as Cleveland, OH; Gary, IN; Detroit, and Trenton, NJ. Any time you get a young black male major in office, the city goes down. Investors come in, pitch an idea, revamp downtown, and leave with all the money, tax incentives, and leave the rest of the residents with empty promises. All that is left is the poor and the hopeless in the city.

I occasionally do I have an upscale area video of Baltimore and comparing it to a run down area. I have several videos of upscale neighborhoods in Detroit, They are: Sherwood Forest, Palmer Woods, Rosedale Park and several others. This is a niche channel that shows mostly run down inner city areas, and that's mostly by request. Black and white people want to see thanks to the Hip Hop culture because many of these artist talk about and come from and rap about growing up in these areas.

I live in Birmingham relocated from NY. In the late 90's NY had places that was just as neglected. For the record whoever's filming only showing the most neglected parts. In some of the roughest parts there is nice homes and people keep their yards cut. I rarely see people just hanging on the corners. Not saying its peaches and cream but its not as bad as it looks on this video.
