We figured that you’d be waiting for a comment from me about yesterday’s proclamation by Mayor Langford (at least some of you – including the folks that called or emailed me).
Well, I’ve put one up over on my Birmingham. Check it out and let us know what you think…

Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce executive vice president Barry Copeland gave a very uplifting talk to the Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce in mid-March asking people to take a look at all of the positive things taking place in Birmingham and the surrounding area.
Of course, we’re always happy with folks that take that approach to looking at things, so we decided that he would be a great person to formally begin our guest blogger series over on my Birmingham (go on, check out the post).
What we didn’t know was how much of an effect asking Barry to write would have (though we doubt we can take that much credit for it). We’re pretty happy with the result ourselves.

Tuesday’s vote dedicating approximately $48 million for the redevelopment of the Fair Park property on the city’s west side raised some interesting questions, and hope. It might also be raising concerns as just under $1 billion has been now earmarked for projects across the city since Mayor Langford’s inauguration late last year.
I chimed in with my thoughts over on my Birmingham early this morning. Check ’em out and then add yours to the mix.
BTW, did anyone notice that one of the stations that still has a contract to advertise the Spring Fling at the arena after WJLD’s contract was pulled just happened to be WATV? We’re just saying…

Late last week the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham introduced the Community Catalyst Fund at their annual meeting. I decided to take a moment and write about what I think it means for our region – the result is our current entry over on my Birmingham. Check it out if you’ve got a moment.
Then let us know what your biggest dream for Birmingham as you answer our current Magic City Question…

UPDATE: 4:47 p.m. André’s editorial is now available. See the link at the end of the post.
As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the 40th observance of the date of his assassination, let’s take a moment and listen to the words of the fallen solider of the Civil Rights movement delivered the evening before he died (RealAudio file).
We’ve decided to share two editorials with you over on my Birmingham as the nation remembers the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which occurred some 40 years ago today.
Our first piece comes from our editorial assistant, Leah Walcott, currently a senior at Miles College in Fairfield, AL.
Yours truly will post his own thoughts on the occasion and what it means around 4:45 p.m. this afternoon. This post is now available over on my Birmingham.

That’s a great question — that’s why we invited Free the Hops president Stuart Carter to be our guest blogger over on my Birmingham today to share the case for support of HB 196 and SB 116 & 355. The state house bill comes up for discussion tomorrow in Montgomery and could greatly affect not just Birmingham but the entire state.
Head on over, check out the post, share your comments and pass it on to others that you think may be interested!

This could be the last time you see this image — if you missed Saturday’s Birmingham News, you missed this story on the removal of these ads by the BJCTA, at the mayor’s request, because it was presenting a bad image.
So what do I think? Find out over on my Birmingham… then let us know what you think.
