Posted on March 18, 2008 | 2 comments

We’d hoped to get this up yesterday, but the fun thing about technology is that sometimes it chooses not to work. The Bomb Shelter generously lent us some of the furniture that we used for our anniversary party on Friday. We’d like to make sure that as many people as possible know about (and go to) tonight’s send-off for the local music venue…

Spottiswoode + Menewa, The Bomb Shelter

Posted on March 18, 2008 | Comments Off on Spottiswoode + Menewa, The Bomb Shelter

Show your love for The Bomb Shelter as it says farewell tonight. They showed some love to us by letting us borrow some furniture for our anniversary party on March 14.

Spottiswoode and his Enemies are on their way back from SXSW and have decided to make a pit stop in the Magic City to help The folks at The Bomb Shelter say farewell. They’ll be joined by local band Menewa.

It’s Commissioner Bell now… well, almost

Posted on March 18, 2008 | Leave a comment

William Bell is one state Supreme Court ruling away from being the certified as the winner of the February 5 special election to fill the Jefferson County Commission seat that was vacated after the election of Larry Langford as mayor of Birmingham last year. The Birmingham News reports that Circuit Court Judge Scott Vowell has ruled in Bell’s favor. The commissioner-elect has scheduled an 11 a.m. news conference in City Hall.

Thanks for coming out on Friday!

Terminal Party thumbnail - Chris MillerWe’d like to take a moment and thank everyone that came out to our anniversary party on Friday evening. The weather ended up playing nice and it sounds like a good time was had by all. At least, we hope so… Click on the image to the left to see photos from the event.

We’re working on uploading some audio, but I still think that Friday’s editorial says what’s needed much better. We’ll keep trying though… We’re holding off the announcement for one more day to make sure everything’s working OK.

We’ve got some folks to thank today for helping to make this event possible, so pardon us while we use this space to do so:

Verizon Wireless logo small   Verizon Wireless
    Harvey Fast – Empire Realty
Bottletree BW logo   The Bottletree
Urban Standard logo   Urban Standard
java and jams logo   Java and Jams
    The Bomb Shelter – keep an eye out for information about tomorrow’s farewell performance later on today

You can also click on the image above or here and check out the photos taken by Bob Farley at the event.

Random Shots: A reminder of what’s to come

One of two banners hanging on a downtown Birmingham, AL skyscraper that formerly served as headquarters for Regions Bank. It is slated to be transformed into the second Marriott Renaissance Hotel in the metropolitan area.

This is one of two banners that are hanging on the corner of the former Regions Bank headquarters in downtown Birmingham that were installed earlier this week. The signs announce the pending arrival of a Renaissance Hotel in the city center and mention the partners and participants in the project. Doesn’t hurt that it references the city’s new logo either.

Bishop Woods calls for vote certification

Posted on March 10, 2008 | 2 comments

William Bell and SCLC President Bishop Calvin Woods on the Richard Arrington, Jr. Blvd. side of the Jefferson County Courthouse today as Woods calls for the certification of the Feb. 5 special election for Jefferson County Commission District 1 seat. Andre Natta/The Terminal

This afternoon SCLC president Bishop Calvin Woods, elected officials and concerned citizens stood out in front of the Richard Arrington, Jr. Blvd entrance to the Jefferson County Courthouse to ask that the election results from the February 5 special election for the Jefferson County Commission District 1 seat be certified. During his remarks, Bishop Woods suggested that the people who filed the motion to hold another election did not in fact live in District 1 but in District 4. There were other comments made, but you probably want to hear them for yourself (13:43):
