If you’re reading this on January 30, 2014, you’ve probably arrived on the site because of the open letter to Al Roker currently posted on the site’s editorial section, Dear Birmingham. If you’re just checking to see if we’ve finally updated recently, you’ll want to check the post out.
The site has seen limited updates in the last twelve months, though the intention is to increase the frequency of posts per week by the first week of February. That said, I felt the need to write the commentary – and others in the coming days – outweighed the need to wait. We’ll still be on a slower, more deliberate posting schedule once we get going again, but there will be a stronger focus on experimentation and commentary.
Thanks again for stopping by! We’re looking forward to getting back at it.
Follow-up: Johnny Ray’s president joins the conversation
We’ve seen a great deal of traffic over the last few days with regard to our post about the future of Johnny Ray’s. We’re hoping that some of you have had a chance to read the comments. If not, you’ve missed out on something…
One person who we were happy to see respond to the comments was Alton Shields, the President and Managing Director of the Johnny Ray Cos, who was able to quiet rumors that the chain was closing.
We just wanted to take a moment and suggest that folks check out his comments and all of the other comments to all of the other posts on the site whenever and wherever they’re made.
Thanks those that do add their voices to this conversation.
