Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Special movie screening at the Bama Theatre tomorrow night!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to spread the word about a screening of the movie ‘Portal to Hell’ at the Bama theater tomorrow night at 7. It’s a really awesome horror comedy with Keith David and Richard Kind, and one of the filmmakers is actually a Birmingham native so this is kind of a hometown show after it’s been playng at festivals and screenings across the world over the last year. There’s also going to be a special Q&A after the screening with lead actor/producer Trey Holland and Ryan Follese of Hot Chelle Rae. Should be a really fun time, and an opportunity to support a local filmmaker and see a really awesome movie in a historic theatre before school kicks back off. There’s a link below if you want to read more- maybe I’ll see some of you there!

Hello Kitty x Godzilla

This is going to sound so silly, but does anyone know which McDonald's have the Hello Kitty x Godzilla toys? I went to the McD's on the corner of Skyland and MacFarland. I didn't check my Happy Meal until I got home, and there was a BTS toy instead! I thought maybe they didn't get a shipment of them yet. Any help is appreciated, this toy line combines two of my favorite things!

Might be visiting next weekend. Fun stuff to do?

Currently live on Huntsville and never been to Tuscaloosa, but thought I might drive down there next weekend. Any recommendations for stuff to do, things to see, places to visit? Good sushi, bakeries, restaurants?

If I make the trip, anyone want to meet up? Trying to expand my social circle.

Goats at Tuscaloosa Academy

What was up with the goats at Tuscaloosa Academy? They had what seemed like a dozen out there fenced in and then one day they were all gone.

Mr Chens

Anyone know what’s up here? My food was barely flavored the last time I went. Seems like when students start back food quality declines. I used to be a once a week eggplant plus Mongolian beef patron. I will not go back for quite sometime-until I forget how bland it was.
