It’s time again to invite those interested in helping us create a Birmingham specific online home to come on out to Speakeasy 1920 on Thursday, June 14 starting at 5:45 p.m. (though we’ll be there from a little after 5 that afternoon). We’ll see how much you like our newest feature (being released on Monday morning, June 11) as well as get some ideas about what you want to see (and who do you know that can write it Smiley).

We’ll also take a look at just how often this meeting needs to take place. Let us know if you’ll be able to attend by shooting us an email at andre@bhamterminal.com.

If you’ve got an idea for the site and can’t make it to the meeting, let us know via info@bhamterminal.com.
