The Birmingham Museum of Art has scored another major exhibit for Fall 2008. It will be the first time that these works, including one of Leonardo’s most celebrated notebooks, the Codex on the Flight of Birds, will be loaned to a U.S. museum. The exhibition, Leonardo da Vinci: Drawings from the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, will open September 28 and run through November 9.

Snow falls on Birmingham… again

Light snow fall has decided to grace metro Birmingham with its presence again this morning. Here’s the scene downtown across from our offices on Morris Avenue. Eventually it’s supposed to stop, but we may as well enjoy it for the time being.
I mean, it’s not necessarily stopping this from happening today.

Marathoners take over downtown this weekend
I could tell you that we’ve been quiet this week because of getting ready for the Mercedes Marathon on Sunday, though I’d be lying (as much as I wish I wasn’t).
This year the Mercedes Marathon will take over Birmingham’s central business district (and parts of the metro area) on both Saturday and Sunday, February 9 & 10. We’d like to take a moment and look at the charities that will benefit from the masses of humanity moving through town this weekend (and to find out why you should be out there cheering them on as they run/walk/dance through your part of town):
BTW: There’s still time to sign up at the expo too (tonight and tomorrow) 🙂
