Folks driving by the Railroad Park construction site probably noticed something that they weren’t quite used to if they stopped for a second in recent days – water in downtown Birmingham.

The severe storms that impacted our area last weekend have filled up the man-made lake that serves as a dominant feature of the park (which extends between 14^th to 18^th Streets along 1^st Avenue South).

Park officials are expecting those fences to come down by late July. By the way, they’ve apparently got a new logo too (up on their website).
