  12. Never take Highway 280 during rush hour. Just don’t do it. The traffic is insane!

  21. Everyone joins a GoKickball Team which is more of a social scene rather than a game. You need not to be athletic to join, you just need to be fun!
  22. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are free whole year round and they’re perfect for a mini-getaway.
  23. You can find the city’s best cliff view at the top of Ruffner Mountain Nature Center – one of the largest urban nature preserves in the US.
