I was around Southside Birmingham, AL when 105.9 the bear was around in the mid to late 90's, then came 107.7 The X. Which you could listen to damn near up in Huntsville, AL. I grew to love The X, and i miss all the wonderful concerts at Airwave studios, the 5 points south music hall, and many other venues. I recently went back to Birmingham and was NOT impressed with the city as i once knew at all. Dont get me wrong I have a huge heart for Birmingham but am just at a loss for words as to what happened to all the wonderful vibes you used to feel in Birmingham. Like many of you.

When I was a child, my Mother, brother and I would take my Dad there to catch the train. He was with the Postal Service and worked on the mail car of the train. We would have to go back and pick him up when the train came back through later in the week. I loved that building and really hate to know that it is not there any more.

Broke 57" Plasma TV as well as falling on new leather couches, etc., etc. Insurance just DENIED US! What the hell! Does anyone have any further comments or suggestions? Did the lawyer come up with any suggestions or ideas on what could be done to avoid the out of pocket expenses! Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

If anyone could help, that would be great.

I was allowed to take train trips to Fayette Al and also Atlanta Ga when I was 12 years old and older. I am now 76 and grew up in the western section of Bham and still live there. My aunt had a boarding house (a large two story building next to the Terminal) She served the best food in town and the train personnel would go there to eat her fabulous meals. Her boarding house was across the street from Jebs Seafood, She would take me to the Terminal and take me all through, I thought it was the largest and most beautiful building in Bham. What a shame it could not have been put to some use. I remember the old Terminal Station quite well.
