Birmingham has lots to claim to its name. One is that the city is host to the nation’s oldest and largest Veterans Day Parade. Check it out for yourself downtown Monday. The parade starts around 1:30 p.m. Here’s the route.
And a friendly reminder — banks and post offices will be closed.

The Jimmie Hale Mission’s chapel at the newly relocated Shepura Men’s Center will be named Sunday in honor of its 90-year-old co-founder, Jessie Hale Downs. Her dedication and faith has withstood the tests of time and has helped shape the 63-year-old organization. Executive Director Tony Cooper will kick off the ceremony at 2 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to hear a testimony from a Mission client whose life has been transformed by the Jimmie Hale Mission ministries.
The former school teacher and her late husband, Jimmie Hale, started the Mission in 1944 as a storefront chapel to help the hungry, hurting and homeless. Jimmie soon passed away leaving his pregnant wife to carry out their vision. This single, working mom ran the Mission until 1990 relying on faith and surviving breast cancer.
The Jimmie Hale Mission is a Christian-based, 501c3 charitable organization that does not receive United Way funding. For more information, call 205-323-5878 or visit www.jimmiehalemission.com.

Here’s an invite to come by and taste the holiday drinks and tastes Starbucks has to offer this season — eggnog latte, gingerbread latte, peppermint mocha and more. Best part, it’s free. We like free and think free Krispy Kreme donut day and free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream day should be national holidays. Don’t worry … we’ll let you know when those events are too.

Describe legendary musician Taj Mahal in a word or phrase? Impossible. You could call him a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, two-time Grammy-winner or world traveler. All accurate titles, yet none convey the soulfulness of Taj’s music. He’s been playing his own distinctive brand of music – folk, jazz, zydeco, gospel, R&B, soul, all layered on top of a solid country blues foundation – for more than 40 years. The show is part of the ASC’s Blues and BBQ fest. Come an hour early for BBQ plates by Dreamland and music by Microwave Dave in the courtyard. The Alys Stephens Center is located on the UAB campus at 1200 10th Ave. South, Birmingham.
Cost: $28-$62, students $10. Food and cash bar extra.

Multi-Grammy winner Keb’ Mo’ may have been born in LA (no, not Lower Alabama) but he sure knows how to play the Mississippi Delta blues. His influences – from Robert Johnson (who Keb’ recently portrayed in a docu-drama) to Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne – can easily be seen in his soulful rhythms and laconic storytelling style. Come an hour early for BBQ plates by Dreamland and music by Microwave Dave in the courtyard. The Alys Stephens Center is located on the UAB campus at 1200 10th Ave. South, Birmingham. The Blues and BBQ Fest continues Sunday night with the Taj Mahal Trio.
Cost: $22-$52, students $10. Food and cash bar extra.
