Sure it’s the big race weekend in Talladega. But we know that not everyone’s eyes will be on the first Car of Tomorrow run at the superspeedway. There is a ton of “cultural” stuff to do around town Saturday and Sunday. Here’s just the ones we know about. We miss something? Share the 411 with an e-mail to info@bhamterminal.com.
More after the jump…

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 you won’t necessarily see this really cool festival staple today, you will get a chance to see (& get) some great art at this year’s Artwalk festival, going on until 6 p.m. Those that are wanting a taste of the festival, head on over to Timetable to see some images from last night.
For those of you a little hungry, there’s also the National Soul Food Cook-Off taking place at Boutwell Auditorium this afternoon.
The quotes go up tomorrow morning and the t-shirts go on sale Monday!
The list of national and regional food chains expanding into the region keeps on growing. Schlotzsky’s has announced that they will be adding eight more locations to the Birmingham market by 2012. The Birmingham Business Journal has more information about the announcement from the Austin, TX-based company. We started a list of national retail chains that people may want to see come to town in the comments section of the Einstein Bros. post. Add some more if you want to, but we’re looking forward to seeing your answers to this week’s Magic City Question…
(NOTE: We’d come up with a cool name for this string of posts, but we haven’t thought of one for it yet. If you do, go ahead and send it in.)

The rumors of their demise were premature, but only slightly. Black & White reported in their August 9 edition that longtime local favorite Scott’s Koneys was already closed. Well, yesterday was actually the last day for the 30+ year old establishment at its current location. Don’t get too upset though; they do still intend to move into the Liberty National building located at the corner of Richard Arrington, Jr. Blvd. and 3rd Avenue South. The foot traffic outside of the old location was steady today. Thanks to the Bryants of B’ham and our friends at Bhamwiki for the information.
