About Magic City Locals

Why this exists

Finding a good plumber, a Friday night plan, or the story behind a new restaurant shouldn't take six tabs and a review-site rabbit hole. Magic City Locals puts Birmingham's businesses, events, and local news in one place, organized the way neighbors actually look for things.

How the directory works

Listings are added by business owners and reviewed by a person before they go live. Basic listings are free and stay free. We don't rank businesses by who pays; the directory is organized by category and neighborhood, and the featured spots rotate.

Where the content comes from

Every business in the directory is a real Birmingham business, with details drawn from its own public listings. Event dates come from each venue's published calendar, and news briefs are written by us from reporting at local outlets like Bham Now, WBRC, and ABC 33/40, always linked to the original story. When something changes or we get it wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
