Posted on June 21, 2007 | Leave a comment

The Barkitecture tour concludes at B&A Warehouse, where attendees can bid on some incredible doghouses as well as some items for our other four-legged friends.

The event starts at 7 p.m. and features live & silent auctions, live entertainment by Nashville’s Webb Wilder, food, drinks and fun.
The winning doghouse design will be featured in both the Southern Living House Plans Magazine and website along with a profile of the architect who designed and built the doghouse.

The American Institute of Architects Birmingham Chapter (AIA) and The Greater Birmingham Humane Society (GBHS) collaborated to bring "Gimme Shelter: Barkitecture Tour & Charity Auction" to life.

Tickets cost $75 and $125 and are available from GBHS (click here to purchase).

This of course means that 2nd Avenue between 28th and 29th Streets, South will be blocked off all of those Saturday mornings (so don’t get any ideas about using it as a short cut on Saturdays through October).

AmSouth signs being replaced throughout the city

Posted on April 12, 2007 | Leave a comment

Lost in yesterday’s approval of demolition plans for the former Birmingham News building was the pending formal removal of the AmSouth name from area banks. AmSouth merged with Regions Bank last year and during yesterday’s Design Review Committee meeting, four banking centers that currently carry the AmSouth name received approval for new signage.

The bank locations approved yesterday are located in Ensley, Five Points South, the Birmingham Green (20th Street North) and Midtown (University Boulevard).

According to Steve Looney with Commander Board Signs, the new signs may be installed in as little as six weeks. It’s possibly your last chance to capture a glance at the local bank’s logo before it fades into history.
