I can't wait for this! Played Topgolf in Austin a few weeks ago. It's so much fun.

You like Dave and busters that much? I've only been there once, but nothing was memorable about it.

This is fantastic. Played at one when I lived in Tulsa and had a blast.

I am so excited. We will be able to go to top golf before and after our games at Uptown!
Uptown will be a great place for us to host conf championships for years!

What we need is a Lucky Strike bowling alley. D&B is not as popular as it once was. A pinball bar would be cool... they are really popular in larger cities and considering the success of Paramount, it would probably go over well in B'ham.

I've been wanting a nice movie theater downtown. Like a Roadhouse or Alamo Drafthouse type of theater.

Yes to both the urban bowling alley and upscale movie theater. Fulton Alley in New Orleans or Pinewood Social in Nashville would be great to model after.

People have been hoping for a Pinewood Social type of thing at the Alabama power steam plant. I don't think that will happen, but it would be really nice.

Something like that was close to happening in Parkside (at a different building) but didn't pan out. Sadly, it's only an office building now... great conversion; just disappointing knowing what it could have been. That said, some good news right around the corner about a similar idea on the north side.

If I recall, it was talked about going in the old Merita bread factory. Now it's Corporate Realty and KPS Group's offices.

You got your wish...almost.

Dave & Busters likely coming to Hoover.

I am not militantly anti-Hoover, this 100% meets my desires
