Yes, it’s a crazy headline because it involves a crazy situation, as laid out in this post on Musings on Birmingham. It’s most interesting since there has been no official announcement from the company about where it will choose to locate its new plant. It’s even more interesting since the story is out of Augusta and not Athens, the city that is actually in the Solvay Pharmaceuticals sweepstakes with Birmingham.
We’ll just have to wait and see.

According to a news story/press release published on MSNBC, the Birmingham, AL NBC affiliate will be the first station in the state of Alabama to broadcast their local news coverage in high definition. The transmissions will begin on October 17 with their 10 p.m. broadcast.
All of the major stations carry their local news on their HD signals, but NBC 13 would be the first to actually take advantage of the technology. The changes will coincide with a new set designed to take advantage of the new technology.
While we’re at it we appreciate MSNBC listing us under their local blogs heading on their redesigned local page for Birmingham.

If you have not already heard, The God Delusion Debate taking place this Wednesday at the Alys Stephens Center (see our post by clicking here) has sold out. According to The Birmingham News, the BBC and NPR will be recording the debate for their own purposes, but according to the Fixed-Point Foundation’s website, the event will be broadcast live on the Moody Broadcasting Network and streamed on their website. They will have feeds available for both RealPlayer and Windows Media Player.
The debate will feature Dr. John Lennox (pictured left) and Professor Richard Dawkins.

Yes, this is the interior of The Silvertron Cafe. It’s been closed for a few months now, but this comment on the post we used to announce that made us go out to take a look. A phone call to the property owner confirmed the rumor, with word that this Birmingham favorite is planning to be re-opened by the end of the month.
We have learned that the new owners are Marco Morosini and his wife. We’ll see if can find out anything else about it and let you know as soon as possible.

While we could just keep on mining these numbers for any little thing that they could tell us, we figured we’d stop while we’re ahead and just provide the basic facts from our mayoral poll.
The submission page has been transformed into a results page, providing it in table format. We hope you’re as intrigued by the results as we are. Links to them are listed below:
Voter plans (will they vote on 10/9)
NOTE: We did round numbers to the closest tenth, so yes, we realize that some of these will register just slightly above 100% totals.
