I must admit, my city is quite boring. I went along with the rules and posted the first image from wikipedia. However, in the spoiler tag I have added a few of my favorite places around town.
Birmingham, Alabama
![[Image: 491px-Birmingham_AL_Montage.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Birmingham_AL_Montage.jpg/491px-Birmingham_AL_Montage.jpg)
Vulcan Statue (World's largest cast iron statue)
![[Image: 220px-Vulcan_statue.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Vulcan_statue.jpg/220px-Vulcan_statue.jpg)
Ruffner Mountain (loads of images are available, but I just selected 2, one to show the nature and one to show the industrial mining sites)

Mcwane Science Center (fun place, loads of nerdy science stuff)

Sloss Furnace (Old iron mill that has been turned into a museum. During Halloween they have a haunted house walk-through to scare you. Also a lot of people go there for ghost hunting trips)

Paradise is a strong word. Although my sea/beach can be compared to California (lol) the city itself is a true shit.

Check again. There is a Birmingham, Alabama as well. You do know two cities can share a name, right?

A very nihilistic place to live. As with all Northumberland's former mining communities.

Wikipedia doesn't have a single picture of my town.
2.4 square miles is just too damn small.

Laffite, Louisiana. USA Looks somewhat like this. I'm pretty sure I live like 1 mile from this picture.
