The Terminal is a web publication that focuses on Birmingham, Alabama and the surrounding region. We get our name and identity from the old Birmingham Terminal Station . In its heyday the station was arguably one of the major social hubs for Birmingham while serving as a link to the outside world and information.
This site serves as a source of information for and about Birmingham, Alabama and provides a link into the world of the Magic City not just for those currently living in the region, but for those that have moved elsewhere or those considering relocating here. The Terminal hopes to make you think more about issues that are affecting the region and know more about what’s going on.
Our sections
Newsstand
This serves as our main blog on the site. We’ll be posting links to other blogs and mainstream media sources to keep visitors abreast of items they may be interested in. We will also be making visitors to the site aware of articles or projects of interest elsewhere on The Terminal as it expands.
Timetable
Our arts & entertainment section consists of two parts:
Destinations (our calendar)
The calendar is visible down the middle of the main page (plans are in the works to have the calendar available on the main page of that section as well). Timetable calendar submissions will be limited to events happening within the Birmingham, AL metropolitan area.
Timetable
The blog features columns about what’s going on in the region in terms of arts and culture. We try our best to cover music, art, theater and anything else that you’d probably think of when you think of answering the question “What are we going to do?” We’re always looking for folks to write those movie reviews, music reviews, as well as articles about upcoming exhibits and major cultural events and activities.
Anyone interested in submitting story ideas, calendar entries and/or writing for this section should contact us at timetable@bhamterminal.com .
My Birmingham (editorials)
While currently leaving comments on for our regular posts allows for people to editorialize to their hearts content, we do have a separate editorial blog on the site, allowing people to have a voice for all of the digital world to see. First and foremost… it MUST concern something in the metro Birmingham area. We’re fans of national issues as well, however, this IS a site about Birmingham. If you could keep your pieces to approximately 750-1,000 words, we’d really appreciate it.
Submit your “letters” to publisher/managing editor André Natta at andre@bhamterminal.com.
Magic City Question
As the name suggests, this blog lists questions from us (and you) to our readers. We try to make it relevant, but sometimes making it fun is much more interesting…
Any suggestions for the question? Send it to info@bhamterminal.com
The Rumble
The Rumble serves as our mashup section and as a result will be ever morphing to accommodate what’s needed. We currently include a shoutbox, letting anyone submit tips or story ideas to the site without necessarily sending us an email. We also include a feed from our Terminal Flickr Group feed and a feed from our del.icio.us account. We hope that others will contribute in any of the ways possible (or recommend other things we should add to it).
