It’s a little busy on The Terminal today as we  introduce our new video series, It’s Nice to Have You in Birmingham, over at Dear Birmingham. The aim of the videos are to give visitors to the site a closer look at the individuals working to make metro Birmingham a better place.

Our first installment gives folks a closer look at Sharrif Simmons, one of the founders of the Birmingham Arts And Music (BAAM) Festival kicking off this evening in the city’s downtown and Southside communities. Incidentally, if you haven’t checked out the lineup yet, you need to. We’re also working on creating a list of blogs, websites and tweeps planning to chronicle it for you over on Timetable this weekend.
