Because they are from Birmingham; that bastion of intellectual wealth where the residents, if they feel in the mood, will distribute sprigs of solutions upon the poorer areas of the region ... but only if you say please.
Personally, I think that folks from Birmingham have a real bad complex being Bloomfield Hill's bitch. A lot of people in Birmingham don't realize that the people to the north of them talk behind their backs at their cocktail parties and think they smell bad. Why, I was just hearing a conversation from a friend of a friend about one couple from Birmingham actually being the dogs in a dog fight party -- and hands down won! Boy, what a hoot that must have been.
I've overhead conversations from Bloomies about how when Jacobson's folded it was the end of Birmingham. All of the Bloomies favorite memories of going to Jacboson's to sit on Santa's lap at Christmas .... they all shed a tear over the day they had to flee for their lives when Creem magizine opened up shop within the city limits. Some Bloomie still cry themselves to sleep over that.
