This may be really distasteful, but I'm going to say, church.

Therein lies my next question. Anyone know a good Catholic Church around here? I went to one nearby and it was...odd to be it lightly.

Which one did you go to? I have some friends that go to Our Lady of Sorrows which is in Homewood, but I'm not Catholic, so I can't really differentiate (I was just there because I was in their wedding).

It was in Hoover, can't think of the name off the top of my head. The one in Homewood I know of b/c my brother got married there...don't really want to go there as my ex sister in law goes there.

I have to be at work at 6:30 am so happy hour is more my cup of tea during the week. I know most of the bars to go to on the weekend, although I like Five Points area or down by 280. I live by the On Tap in Hoover...it's too much of a cave, and my ex sister in law frequents there. As you can tell, not too keen on running into her or her friends.

I don't drink, but I have been to the Blue Monkey before (that was over a year ago) it was ok.

I can't offer any church suggestions, I'm Baptist.

My experience is that different church times have different styles, for lack of a better word. 11 am Sunday morning it's traditional (and maybe a little old) in contrast to Sunday night when it would be appallingly contemporary with a Life Teen focus. So the Hoover church may not be a complete loss.

Sorry about the sister-in-law thing; that would be really tough if the only places that seemed like your kind of places were already claimed by her.

There's more than 1 Catholic church! Try 'em all...some friends of mine went to the one near, ah, Helena? when it was new. You might see about getting involved in some sort of volunteer work...check to see if City Fest uses volunteers. The art museum hosts a once-a-month happy hour geared toward young singles. Get a copy of Black and White (it's free, just pick it up) and find some stuff to do. Alabama Outdoors sponsors group outings. If you're on Greek Chat you must be a Greek alum...find your alum group in town. Join a yoga or exercise class, or take a class. There's a LOT of stuff to do if you're open to anything. Good luck!!

look into some young professional organizations-jaycees, big brother/sister,etc. definately connect with your alumni group-college and fraternity.is there a leadership birmingham organization? these are all great for networking and meeting new people.
