I'd also like to clarify that I speak as a resident of the Birmingham area more than anything. There have been times when I've resented the inconvience of UAB's growth (I really, really, miss the Southside Shoney's) but I realize that what's good for UAB is good for Birmingham.
I think the medical field will continue to grow over the next couple of decades and this could be Birmingham's opportunity to make up for all of the projects we lost in the 70's (Airport, Pro-team, ect). I don't think we'll ever compete with cities like Atlanta but I do think we have a chance to carve out our own unique niche.

Yea, that is what I always try to tell my friends from school who always want to compare things in Birmingham to Atlanta. Atlanta and Birmingham shouldn't be compared (both for good and bad things). They aren't similar places.
Birmingham should strive to be like Nashville, Raleigh and other mid sized places that have their own identities. They already had a nice urban core that is being fixed up (stadium was great addition), good food, great music scene, old neighborhoods with good bones that are starting to be made nice. There is stuff to work with there for sure.
