Aug. 24, 2010, 7:37 p.m.If bham can keep talented people in bham then we have a bright future. bham could be the city that cures cancer #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:39 p.m.@chris_depew I saw Vertigo during the summer film series back in 2004. Loved seeing Phantom there as well that fall #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:43 p.m.@chris_depew we’re looking for any answers that come in. There’s no right answer for any of these Qs. #bhamchat -

Aug. 24, 2010, 7:44 p.m.@bhamterminal I know its not the answer u r looking for, but no. suburban folks and inner city population never trust each other #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:45 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:47 p.m.@chris_depew thats a good point and something this area needs to overcome #bhamchat -

Aug. 24, 2010, 7:51 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:52 p.m.Hey. Sorry I’m late. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:52 p.m.@ramsaytroy #bhamchat I think the city has a chance to improve, I just don’t ever see the unity here to get to a level of a Nash or Jax -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:53 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:53 p.m.I see unity in the future. I just think people need to work hard to bring people together. The cities need regular meetings. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:54 p.m.The @bhambizalliance will be good for the city with a new CEO, and if that person can get government and business together, who ? #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:55 p.m.Q3: If Bham can’t figure out a decent transportation system the city will not grow beyond what it is today. #Bhamchat -

Aug. 24, 2010, 7:56 p.m.@thegeekwife I agree. Was discussing with someone from NY today. They need to consider public transp and not new roads #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:56 p.m.@thegeekwife – I should say “we” need to consider. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:57 p.m.@chrisbrogan Welcome to our City(ies). where’s dinner? #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:57 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:59 p.m.With UAB and the RR Park, we have some great prospects. Look at the southside and downtown compared to 10 years ago – Amazing!! #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 7:59 p.m.@Jon_Lewis Monorail would be the nest place to start. Have lived in other cities with it and it only makes sense. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8 p.m.Q3a is there something positive you can point to as a symbol of the city’s future? #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8 p.m.@thegeekwife Some type of light rail – I’m all for it, but many over the mountain aren’t. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:02 p.m.@thegeekwife they’re nice to have, but most cities with monorail or light rail have fixed their bus issues first. #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:03 p.m.@Jon_Lewis That is because they don’t want the “small town” atmosphere to change. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:03 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:03 p.m.Q3a the continued growth of UAB #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:04 p.m.@ramsaytroy and a world class Children’s Hospital – they are incredible too! #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:04 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:05 p.m.@thegeekwife I think there is more to it than the small town atmosphere. There is another reason. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:05 p.m.@thegeekwife the city used to have the world’s second largest streetcar system. It worked when folks weren’t so spread out #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:07 p.m.There wil be a tweet up tomorrow at the Green Building Focus Conference and we need to decide on a hashtag. Suggestions? #Bhamchat -

Aug. 24, 2010, 8:09 p.m.@spottedturkey doesn’t make sense to create a new one if so many folks know the #BroganBham one already #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:09 p.m.@thegeekwife Fear. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:09 p.m.The tweetup at the conference will be a great time to bring up these great suggestions for #Bham. #Bhamchat #BroganBham -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:10 p.m.@Jon_Lewis I agree to some point but I also think it is a stigma issue with the buses. They are not culturally attractive. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:10 p.m.@thegeekwife they don’t see value in the current system – and just what @Jon_Lewis said, fear. #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:11 p.m.@acnatta @Jon_Lewis – agree. Just didn’t know if we wanted to isolate the tweetup. Makes sense though to use #BroganBham. #Bhamchat. Thx -

Aug. 24, 2010, 8:12 p.m.Q4 in 3 minutes #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:12 p.m.@thegeekwife #bhamchat why can’t we even get together on something as simple as park and ride lots? Every two bit town in Ga. has em -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:13 p.m.@chris_depew @thegeekwife – It could be done and SHOULD be done. We don’t need a toll road, we need public transportation! #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:13 p.m.@Jon_Lewis @acnatta So, what do we do to fix that issue so that the bus system can be used effectively? #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:14 p.m.@Jon_Lewis I’d argue it reliability too. In NYC we have no problem using them because we know they’ll be there. #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:14 p.m.@thegeekwife @Jon_Lewis we find out how we can help get the system where it needs to be and then help it get there. #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:14 p.m.@thegeekwife @acnatta – Businesses and cities need to see the economic importance. You can’t change change. It will happen – when? #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:15 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:17 p.m.Q4 Should the Birmingham City School board be recalled so soon? Back story – http://bit.ly/byJrBg #bhamchat #bham -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:17 p.m.@Jon_Lewis and money. π #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:18 p.m.Hate to go, but have a softball game in 45 minutes. See most of you tomorrow @broganbham #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:18 p.m.@thegeekwife #bhamchat dedicated bus lanes on 65 and 280 to start. Give an incentive to actually get to work faster -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:18 p.m.@spottedturkey Always money – I need some too π #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:20 p.m.@Jon_Lewis I think this is the time to reinvent and restructure. Have the plans in place if and when the money comes back in play #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:20 p.m.@Jon_Lewis hope you win your game. Hope to meet you tomorrow. #Bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:23 p.m.We’re getting close to the end of the formal portion; anyone have links or events they want to share? #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:24 p.m.BTW – we’ll be starting a push next week to make more folks aware of the chat – and we’ll need your help! Keep an eye on DMs #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:24 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:25 p.m.@jsandford so do you think we should use a separate hashtag? I’m on the fence. #bhamchat -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:25 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:26 p.m. -
Aug. 24, 2010, 8:27 p.m.@bhamchat I’m all for the push. Happy to share the #BroganBham link but that may be a bit redundant. #BhamChat. What say you? -
