Is BHAM really quiet?

[Joel O.]

Took another trip to BHAM, and boy is it quiet. Is it just me or is BHAM extremely quiet?

The realtor i was with said the city itself is very quiet. 

I went to fairfield and that area is more congested same with homewood, but the city of BHAM from UAB to north BHAM was just DEAD. 

Am i missing something?

Also the amount of abandoned buildings including that massive hospital is astounding.

How do you locals feel about this?

Where is everybody hiding ?
