Those who visit Metro Bistro beginning this afternoon will notice a”free wifi access” sign in the window. The popular downtown bar/hang out spot has become #333 on Bhamwifi.com‘s ever-growing list of free wireless access points in the metro Birmingham area. The list began in late 2004 with less than 50 locations documented ; it now contains 97 listings for the City of Birmingham alone. The website is a partnership between Internet Professionals Society of Alabama (IPSA)and TechBirmingham.

AmSouth signs being replaced throughout the city
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.
