Great place...

We're supposed to have a greenway/promenade built connecting the campus green & RR Park at some point in the near future... either 15th or 16th St will be the route.

Yea it will be nice but no one would ever dare to walk down it. (too lazy for blue font today)

I think the plan is to ultimately extend RR park out to near Sloss as well.

UAB and the Southside are already two of the best things about Birmingham. They will soon be truly great places. A small football stadium would have been nice but the BOT is powerless to stop the progress.

Yep. And possible to the Alice Furnace site as well, west of 65.
