We got less than we thought we would to participate but am thankful for all that did take part in our Birmingham mayoral election poll. Fifty-two (52) votes were submitted; 4 of them were disqualified either for multiple IP address use or multiple submissions from an email.
Check out the submission link to see the results as they are posted. Expect the complete details results based on these submissions to be posted tomorrow morning.
While this was not a scientific poll by any stretch of the imagination, it does show the opinion of those that currently read The Terminal. That said, remember that this website WILL NOT be endorsing any candidate for the October 9 election.

Yeah, we just found out ourselves. The piece in the Birmingham Business Journal includes photos taken from the website’s launch party and Happy Hour for a Cause event on August 29th at The Bottletree. Here’s the link to the article.
If you’re a subscriber, you’ll see a few pictures. We’re not, so we’ll just have to live with that one shot of André holding the license plate at the center of this long-term project. Or the one up above.

Judge Robert Vance sided with the office of the mayor and council of Birmingham when he ruled that the store at the center of a case involving allegations of physically attacking a female customer in East Lake must close its doors according to mainstream media news accounts reported just moments ago.
The store owner’s attorney has said that he would file an appeal immediately if they lost the case. Judge Vance cited the council’s concerns about safety as the reason for his ruling.
We will provide a link to a news source once one has posted.
