This post is dedicated to a site called “Birmingham: It’s Not Shit”. I’m going to post it in my blogroll later.
I was born in Solihull just outside of Birmingham in 1974. Even though I never lived in Birmingham and left the area soon after i was born, I still class myself as a brummie and I’m proud of it.
No Birmingham is not shit, it’s got a rich history, iconic buildings like the Rotunda. As said on the site, it’s spawned the extremely funny Jasper Carrot.
I love the city centre, I’ve been back several times to the Dental Hospital and think to myself what a great place to be.
There is a diverse mix of cultures, a great atmosphere and friendly people.
So come on folks, give Birmingham a go, come and see for yourself what Birmingham has to offer.
