I found the 5 points area here on the south side - any other points of interest around here?

About the only cool thing in Birmingham is the view of it from your boxcar heading down the road! Ironton/Irondale yard about 20 min out is a SOB! Jimmy Hale mission is a good place to get into a fight and the firehouse free meal in the pm is a good stager for the Southbound.
The end of BNSF rail system south. To exit yards go to north end and cross the creek to road east. A half-mile further is a Flying J Truck Stop. Get a shower ticket off a freindly trucker - if you can find one.
Railroad security went home at three in the morning when I was there.
A free microwave in the bus station.

Sloss Furnace is badass and totally haunted.
Food Not Bombs in 5points at the satanic pentagram fountain serves food every Sunday at 1pm.
That area is packed with homebums so you are unlikely to make money busking or spanging unless you're pro.
Plenty of abandoned houses and buildings in Northside and Downtown.
I know a spot I've brought 2 friends to and they've made $100-$185 an hour flying a sign.... All that old Alabama money and Christian guilt.... My best pal's first kickdown was from an old woman wearing pearls, gave her a $50 and said "God bless you sweetie-pie!" Hahahaa.
I live in a punk house in B-Ham, we do shows (crust, metal, punk), garden, cook badass dumpstered vegan food constantly, but after being fucked over too many times and being disrespected I am unlikey to take you in unless someone I know can vouch for you. Sucks it has to be that way but I'm getting fucking jaded as I get older and my patience with idiotic shitheads is gone.

i'm from bham, it is boring and full of shit heads. it used to have one of the best non profit diy venues in the southeast called cave 9 and after that got shut down goodbye fun. depending on where you're going there are some easy ass catchout spots. if you wanna go south go to morris ave sweet bridges and homebum camps to chill at and wait.
