Two ways to get into a ghoulish mood for tomorrow
Here are two ways at least:
Halloween Pub Run, Storyteller Fountain (Five Pts. South), 6 p.m.
The Birmingham Track Club is sponsoring this 3-mile jaunt in the Five Points South area this evening. Our calendar entry has some more information, or you could just click on the image above and get it straight from the club itself.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, WCFT-TV, 7 p.m.
The other option this evening is to check out the annual broadcast of “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” being broadcast on ABC tonight and relive the memories… if only there were a York® Peppermint Patty commercial…

Do you live near a rotten neighbor?
If you do, you may want to let others know about it (though maybe they aren’t really that rotten… maybe). Rotten Neighbor allows you to share your feelings about certain properties and neighbors throughout the country (it’s described in its own literature as a real estate tool), though you’d probably be most interested in our own metropolitan area (and there are already some entries).
There’s even advice about mediation if a neighbor becomes just a little too rotten to handle. Let’s hope it’s not that bad for you.

Yet another reason for more greenspace
We’re #5 this time. According to Forbes we are the 5th most sedentary city in the United States. The results were released yesterday on the magazine’s website, where they also explained just how they arrived at their findings as well as how they determined that some cities were not necessarily as healthy as they thought.
We did get high marks for physical activity. Only a little more than ¼ of the folks that they spoke with said that they did not exercise. But we still watch 39 hours of TV a week…
All the more reason why folks need to head out tonight to celebrate with the Friends of Red Mountain Park over at B&A Warehouse. Check out the listing on the Timetable calendar so you can get a taste of what you’ll hear this evening.
BTW – you can see the rest of the top 20 list in slideshow format over on their site.
