Stayed at The Grand Bohemian twice during my son’s ACL deal and it was very nice and easy to get in and out of.

Hampton Inn and don't leave the Hampton unless going straight to the dr office. Mountain Brook is one of the nicer areas in Jefferson County. I don't understand the whole "your in Birmingham so you don't move around after dark" thinking. ^^^^This is what everyone thinks that doesn’t live in Bham....that it’s a war zone. It’s freaking hilarious. Easily nicest area of the state. Pfft.I don't think you have seen the entire state.But to each his own...

There was a report of a drive by snubbing last week.
I laughed simply because it's a good area and you should have no worries. Good folks on here from there that I'm sure would send you their number for advice if you did get turned around.

I don't understand the whole "your in Birmingham so you don't move around after dark" thinking. It's definitely a fallacy. Downtown is very safe and nice now, SoHo in Homewood is top notch, Lakeside District, Avondale, are all safe, enjoyable and a nice experience. It's no different than any other city in the US. There are good areas and bad areas but the ones mentioned above are way above average.
not sure what the best way to handle them is but they shouldnt be on tv and gettn married and raisin kids

Mountain Brook? Try not to get shot...... Prayers sent! Bad area of town. I would look for a hotel over on the west side of Birmingham where its much safer. Probably can find one there with hourly rates.

I'm not scared of getting shot in Birmingham. I'm scared I'll shoot somebody.

Mtn Brook isn't in Birmingham by any measurement. Only danger out 280 is getting in a car wreck.

Phobia and fear of any part of Birmingham is pretty dumb. No need to be fearful. Just be smart. I've been in the roughest parts of the City (Bham Proper, Lipscomb, Ensley, Midfield, Fairfield, all around Elmwood/Titusville/Legion Field, Pratt, North Bham) on multiple occasions (not just driving,but working) and lived to tell about it. Daylight hours normally no worries. Although we had to have police escorts in Lipscomb for 8 days---group of 10 white people (construction, engineers, lawyers, quarry reps) inspecting claims of quarry blasting damage in the neighborhoods near Vulcan Materials--And again in North Birmingham near Walter Minerals and the Coke/Coal plant but that was out of an abundance of caution after the issues we had in Lipscomb. In Lipscomb there were a couple of carloads of thugs that rolled up on us and told us that white people aren't allowed there....seriously. They they kept slow rolling by every now and then. If we weren't looking they were trying to get into our vehicles. Vulcan hired police escort for the rest of the time.
So simple truths: Staying out of certain areas after dark and being very aware/make good decisions on where to stop/what to do in certain areas regardless of the time of day is very smart. There are pockets of the Greater Bham Metro Area that are simply bad places. So if you are there for a reason, just be aware and ready to respond as needed. No need to fear it.

Had supper at Mr. Chen's last week on Green Springs, drove past Samford, got on 280 and didn't realize I was in a war zone. Then I went to a hockey game at the Von Braun Center here on the weekend the same night a patriotic celebration was going on.
Not sure how I survived! Two downtown big city war zones! Hot diggity!

Mr. Chen's and Samford are in Homewood. Great food and school. You were about a mile away from the infested apartments on Valley Avenue though, which are in Birmingham. Glad you survived.
