Share – it may help…

So what was on the charts in 1970?

The Hits Just Keep on Comin' logoThe writer of The Hits Just Keep on Comin’ stumbled across the answer to that question when he intended to write a post about year-end countdowns.

Magic City Question: Birmingham’s Person of the Year

This morning we learned that Vladimir Putin is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. We figured since it is that time of year when people begin to create “best of” lists, we’d start by asking you who you thought Birmingham’s Person of the Year would be in 2007?

Of course we’re just going to get you to answer it as today’s Magic City Question… over here

Got comments; good, that’s why we’ve got today’s Magic City Question
