Apparently this morning’s huge water main break at UAB is causing issues for the Alys Stephens Center. They don’t have water, meaning no bathrooms or air conditioning. As a result they’ve rescheduled tonight’s ASC Social Club Goes Bollywood event for Wednesday, August 29th from 6 to 8 p.m.
So if you’re not planning to join us for our launch party/fundraiser that evening, please consider heading over to the ASC for bellydancers, great food, Bollywood movies, cold drinks, and fun people – plus water, bathrooms, and air conditioning!

We’re thinking about switching all of our “quirky” tagged stories to “interesting” and this one is a prime example of why. New_Nikon_Addict’s photostream on Flickr includes an image of a 1952 Jet magazine article talking about the “burying” of sin here in Birmingham. Sound familiar? It should since it was just used again recently in Detroit, MI by the NAACP.

Just when people were beginning to wonder just how serious the development talk surrounding the new entertainment district adjacent to the BJCC currently was, The Birmingham News reports that Ruben Studdard has signed on to open a nightclub with Perfroma Entertainment Real Estate.
Reporter Dawn Kent’s brief also included a mention of efforts to get Taylor Hicks to commit to a similar venture for the development. It’s already peaking interest among members of the Soul Patrol across the country.

Matthew’s Bar and Grill has opened at 2208 Morris Avenue. It now relieves The Peanut Depot of being the only place to grab a bite down near the railroad tracks, though stopping by to grab a snack for later after grabbing some barbecue from the new restaurant still wouldn’t be a bad idea! There haven’t been many options down there since The Morris House, though new ones exist up on 1st Avenue North.

Considering that Birmingham’s (and the state of Alabama’s) been waiting for the appointment of a new bishop since 2005 to replace retiring Bishop David Foley (it was originally delayed due to the death of Pope John Paul II), we figured it would be interesting to see just what makes this new guy tick. There’s no better way than by hearing from the man himself, so take a look at how Bishop Robert Baker, the new head guy at St. Paul’s and the state of Alabama, started his goodbyes at his current post in Charleston, SC.
He assumes his post here in Alabama on October 2.
