Just wanted to take a moment and thank those of you that came out last night to the Bottletree Bailout Happy Hour.
Maybe we’ll see some of you today (Friday, July 3) starting at 11 a.m. for lunch as the bailout continues.

Slowing down: The Waterfalls at Boutwell
We figured we’d take a moment to check out something most residents don’t get a chance to visit often – those waterfalls located between the Birmingham Museum of Art and the Boutwell Auditorium.

It also gives you a chance to check out the Birmingham Urban Mural located next to the auditorium.

Random Shots: a snapshot of Birmingham
A few weeks ago we posted some photos from the Lyric Theatre in advance of the open house and included a photo of a mural of the city that was being stored in the building (it’s image #9).
Well, the centennial mural’s four pieces have been moved to the new home of the Birmingham Jefferson History Museum at the former Young & Vann building downtown. They were so large they had to open up the wall to get it into its new home. The Terminal‘s Bob Farley took a closer look at the mural and provided these photos to share with you in The Gallery. According to their website, we’ll get a chance to take a closer look in person come next spring.

Random Shots: A year-round Pepper Place Market?
Photo: André Natta/bhamterminal.com.
Still waiting to get some additional information about this space, but it is currently being worked on in Birmingham’s Pepper Place. It appears that it will be another option for those seeking fresh produce in Birmingham (in addition to Jones Valley Urban Farm and the Jefferson County Farmers Market on Finley Avenue and a few others recently profiled in this Birmingham Weekly post). The sign says that the Farmers Market Cooperative will be “coming soon” though.

Random shots: Getting ready for tomorrow
Michael Needham, 4, admires his handiwork, viz. his freshly dyed Easter eggs, while others soak in their coffee mug vats.
For those looking for other ways to enjoy this relaxing Saturday in Birmingham, AL, you’ve still got time to get to Ensley for their 3rd annual Easter Parade and Gospel Concert. The parade starts at 12 p.m. and the concert begins shortly afterward.
Need some other idea (or have some you’d like to share)? Head on over to this week’s got plans post over on Timetable.
BTW, if you feel so compelled to share your photos from this weekend, send them into photos@bhamterminal.com.
