I've got some firends there and they're looking to get their kids out. From what they've told me the school there is being overrun with drugs and violence.

Yeah, Trussville today is still nice but it's heading downhill fast. It's very overcrowded with a lot of rich people but if you go up Hwy 11 you will be in the hood in less than 5 minutes. Crime is really getting bad in Trussville, especially around those shopping centers.

Doesn't surprise me. A family member of mine was robbed there years back. It's very close to a string of crack houses along the highway.

I think it's great that Birmingham is trying to revive some of the really bad areas like Avondale and Woodlawn but Jefferson County as a whole needs to get its act together.

The Birmingham Northern Beltline will help traveling but it's costing a lot and they need to put more focus on our education system.

When I moved to Bham, I worked in Trussville for the first couple years (2010-2011.) I learned very quickly that I did not want to live there or off of 280. Glad I made that choice.
