GRO is 5 miles from my house.
My words of stuff to know:
- Toyota may have rented OGR just for yall. If it's a open day; BE WEARY of the tons of hot chicks that'll be offroading there. I'd say 3/4 of them are in high school. And yes... They go out in full force & tend to be
.
- Don't stray far outside the hotel at night. You're in downtown b'ham which is *not* a safe place to be. You're not staying too far from some of the club district tho, so... It won't be bad. There's nothing really to see, so... Don't worry about sight-seeing. Get a ride, or a taxi if you wanna have fun. Don't chance walking afew blocks. Alabama is very low crime, Especially in the outlieing Birmingham area. But for reasons, the actual city of Birmingham has insanely high homicide rates.
- Eat at Milo's. (You want a #2 no onions, sweet tea. It's obligitory.), and a real BBQ place. Dreamland.
Costa's.
WTF We don't eat Jambalaya here... That's 800 miles away in Lousiana. Bring pocket money! I can't name a single good cajin/creole restraunt in the greater b'ham area. The ONE we had closed downy ears ago & I've been to the bayou, it wasn't nearly as good as that.
There's afew parties if you wanna skip whatever dull stuff they have planned at night. Sounds like they're just ditching you at the hotel LMAO!
I'm taking my little cuz to T-town sat for a bama game. He's wanting to hang out down there & then party most of the night. Might be able to gank a third ticket if you don't have anything to do that afternoon / evening. Or maybe we can drive back & forth. The time on the game is TBA tho. Generally afternoon - evening for SEC games. Lemmie know on that.
You'll like the airport tho. It's tiny & clean LoL! No hassles.
