La-la-land to Birmingham

Hi all,

I've just relocated with my partner to Harborne in Birmingham from Perth, Australia where we'd been living for the past two years. Originally from Oregon but right now I'm in a little place called limbo aka waiting for my settlement visa in Providence, RI. Basically I'm homeless... in that upper-middle class kind of way. 

Can't wait to get back over there!

greetings from the working-class sector of brum! 

Welcome to UKY! Hope you get you visa soon ;-)

Welcome to UK-Y Ariana, I'm in Coventry so not too far from Birmingham.

If I was stuck in Providence I'd sooooo be eating pumpkin cheesecake over at Cheesecake Factory (assuming the one in Providence Place Mall is still there).

If you're here in time there's a meetup on Nov 21st in Birmingham.

Thanks all!

And what a fantastic idea... I could use a whole cheesecake to myself right about now (don't judge me!)

Will def see you on the 21st for the meetup - can't wait!

I hope your visa turns up soon! I lived in Providence for 20+ years and I can tell you there are far worse places to be stuck! I'd be steering clear of mall food and heading for Federal Hill, though. 

Spike's!!  You can't get a good dog here.

Holy man - too many ridiculously awesome places to try! Thanks guys.

Remind me why I want to the UK again? hehe

Any of you all want to play softball?

My name's Meg, I have lived in Birmingham 12 years - originally from DeLand, Florida -

I teach. We need new players, especially women - it's a Co-ed team, so men are welcome, too, though we are a bit uneven in our numbers to we are especially recruiting women -

You don't have to be able to play - we'll teach you. We have gloves you can borrow. Every thursday at Hallfield School, Edgbaston, in Birmingham starts at 6:15 and goes til we can't see anymore.....

There are a fair few american expats on our team, and we'd like more -

Come and play ball with us!
