The pressure at my house was low and I had called the plumber, he replaced the regulator (expense…read morebill). Still didn't have much pressure so I called the Water Board. That part was a bit of a workout but, my request, by the man (Robert) who comes to help, was answered sure fast and easy to talk to. He made sure I was home, worked with my schedule and kept me update on his arrival time. He told me what he needed to do, he fix it and now I have water pressure! Robert was helpful and knew what he was doing, great costume service.

Birmingham Water Works / Central Alabama Water Works us the worst organization I have ever…read moreencountered. After a horrible day spent trying to get our water turned back on, that consisted of someone turning our water off, spending 4-hours on hold trying to get in touch with someone, being told 3:00 pm is considered after hours, couldn't guarantee they could get someone out, being told they would not be able to turn our water back on until sometime between 7am - 7pm on Monday. It is the most outrageous thing that I have heard or witnessed dealing with any public utility / service company.

This is one of the best libraries in the Birmingham area! Very clean and comfortable. It has a good…read morevariety of books as well as activities they host. We attended a 3D printing class which was very cool and educational. Good spring break activity! I've used the rooms previously and they are great as well.

I consider this the most beautiful library in town! The place is huge with a variety of indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating options. I love finding a spot on the upper or lower patios on sunny days. Thankfully, they have umbrellas covering the tables. There are three floors with private rooms available for reservation. Whether you're in need of a study room or an event space, the library has options. My favorite place to get settled is in the treehouse room. It "hangs" off the main building and is surrounded by a thick forest of trees that provide a soothing atmosphere. My only let down about this space is the flaky wifi. The library operates off a hotspot whose connectivity level seems to depend on your location. As a remote worker, it's hard to get in a good workflow when the signal drops at random. I'd encourage others to bring a hotspot or work closer to the main area

The usual ladies that are normally here were not in sight. There was another young lady that was…read morenot in postal uniform, just street clothes and a ball cap. I believe she had an ear bud in her hear and was having a conversation with someone as she was helping the lady before me. She spoke and the customer asked her to repeat herself and she indicated it wasn't directed at her. When I asked if I should give her my stack of Christmas cards or drop them in the drop slot, she said it didn't matter. But then when I handed them to her, she acted annoyed. Maybe she's just having a difficult day. I try to always give grace.

Came in today to try to send a box out, the box I had was a little big and asked if they had…read moreanything that I could use to pack my box. The lady at the front said no (which is fine, I don't mind) but then she saw my box open and proceeds to say "We don't even have tape". !?!?!? How come the whole point of this place is to send stuff out and they don't have tape?

Within moments after our call to Spire, we heard a knock at the door. A very nice man named Grady fixed our problem and said within 35 minutes, we would have hot water again. Wonderful, happy service from Ty, and from Grady, Spire Energy! Please let their superiors know about our good service and how happy we are to be customers of Spire Energy. Thank you! God bless!

BY far the worst customer service experience ever. The service window sings incompetency in lack…read moreof skilled technicians. there is no way you service an entire state and lack the man power to set appointments with a respectable service window. 7A to 8p is not what I will call customer service. To a technician may run over it's time it's fine. Have enough decency to contact the next customer and let them know that you're going to be late. at this point, you are stuck at home all day until someone shows up to your home to connect your services. Absolutely disgusting customer service.

My first time visiting HPL was recently. It was a pretty quick trip as I was here to attend a…read moreclothing swap event. I really like that there is ample parking. I must say I overestimated how huge this library was! I hate that I didn't have more time to explore. I am glad to know they are open on the weekends!

When I think of Five Points South, I always think of the famous Frank Fleming sculpture fountain!…read moreIt was installed in 1992 and is entitled "The Storyteller." It honors the life of pre-Columbian art dealer and anthropologist Malcolm McRae and was commissioned by his Mother, Jane. Jane had proposed dedicating a public garden in front of their church, Highlands Methodist Church at Five Points Circle, in his memory. With the encouragement of Cecil Roberts and Mayor Richard Arrington (and his assistant Ann Adams), her idea blossomed into a public commission for a sculptural fountain. The sculpture's Ram represents McRae. This area was incorporated as the Town of Highland in 1887, and today is lauded as a vibrant, retail, entertainment district, and a premier neighborhood and culinary destination. It is known for its annual St. Patrick's parade. I always thought 5 Points South was just the intersection of five streets at the sculptural fountain; however, it is more expansive than I knew! 5 Points' restaurants include Highlands Bar and Grill, Hot and Hot Fish Club, Bottega, Galley & Garden, and Ocean. I've enjoyed dining at Bottega, Hot and Hot, and Ocean. Zydeco is a fun 3-level concert venue and bar I've frequented over the years. In town for a special occasion, I got my hair blown out and styled in Five Points. There is a Historic Five Points Walking Tour that focuses on the historical and architectural nature of the area's temples, churches, apartment buildings, and more. It truly is a walkable part of Birmingham! You can download the brochure at https://fivepointsbham.com/wpcontent/uploads/2018/10/walking-tour.pdf
