Birmingham, England's second city. The jewel of the Midlands, home of industry, canals, the bull ring, Baltis, and some other things.
So memorable is the city that the council has been advertising its merits with a photo of the other Birmingham, Alabama, United States. Now that Birmingham was named after the English one to emphasise its industrial qualities. It was also nicknamed "magic city", a moniker its English namesake definitely does not have.
Apparently the mistake featured in the city's promotion of its
recycling initiatives. Meanwhile the other Birmingham has been forging
ahead with the creation of its own green agenda and creation of a national park
The Alabama Birmingham was also the home of the civil rights movement. Its English equivalent also has had an important part in the struggle of black and Asian people against racism.
However, you may be better off going to Birmingham, Alabama. The English one has just been voted the most unfriendly place in Britain.
But then again its delights were much praised by Telly Savalas in this promotional film
Choices: so hard to make sometimes.
