I enjoyed meeting the Gold & Silver Loans & Jewelry Owners today. Both Owners are courteous,…read moreknowledgeable and time sensitive. In fact, I really like this pawn shop, because it isn't loaded down with lawnmowers and garden equipment. There is however a wide variety of jewelry to checkout; a few handguns, plus collectible coins, and guitars if you possess those skills. They even had a cute ukulele for sale that made me think of the song 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow.' The price I was offered for a few pieces of random, gold jewelry was very fair in value. I can see myself visiting the Gold & Silver pawn shop again one day, because it was such a nice experience.

This business is the epitome of what Birmingham doesn't need. It is filled with white hipsters…read morewearing boring Americana clothing. The owner of the establishment I assume greeted me by calling me "brother" I am a Black queer person and I was very much off put by this. As I was leaving the owner or employee also touched my shoulder unprompted and without consent, seemingly in a gesture of friendliness, I did not feel invited or welcome, I simply felt confusion. The art in the store, the wears and gifts are made and produced almost exclusively to appeal to white patrons, while the store is situated directly in the center of a historically Black neighborhood. This store is both tone deaf and one note, the note in question gross gentrification. -Vash (they/them)

I was extremely disappointed by my experience…read more I told the photographer it would be our first time shooting as a family and asked for any tips prior and told her this was primarily for family photos to use as a Christmas card. The only tip told ahead of time was: not to wear totally matching outfits, but ones that coordinate. At the shoot, it was cold, so I understand it wasn't the most ideal environment, but the photographer seemed checked out. We got a mix of photos that were heavily edited, and in my opinion, poorly edited (overly whited out) and mostly solo pictures of the baby. (I am a snap happy mom so I have many pictures of the baby solo, and not many of the family as a whole--which I mentioned during the shoot). I was really disappointed by the emailed gallery, conveyed such, and asked for maybe even the unedited copies of the photos (I respect the time it takes to edit the photos). When requesting the unedited copies, even offering to pay more, I was denied even though I was really disappointed by the edited results. Most of all, I found photos of my child online without consent or request. Totally horrified. This was never mentioned (nor was permission asked). I only found them after looking for a place to read other reviews to see if I was the only person not happy with the results of this particular photographer.
