Needless to say, you either wouldn’t believe us or you’d think we were crazier than we already admit to.
So, in a rare Saturday appearance, our weekly enewsletter will pull in sometime around 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.
It will definitely be interesting to see how many folks actually check us out – or how many wait until Monday (though those of you on our list will be getting an extra special edition of the express on Monday morning as well)…
Stay tuned and enjoy the weekend!

Critical Mass March 2007 (New York City). Seth W./Flickr
The grassroots movement known as Critical Mass will attempt to make its presence known in Birmingham this evening at 6 p.m. Their inaugural ride will begin at Linn Park downtown. These rides, which take place monthly throughout the country (and the world) are geared to remind drivers that cyclists should be allowed to share the road and that they’re here.
The cyclists follow all of the rules of the road, emphasizing bicycle safety and a sustainable method of transportation. There’s no real leader or plan to the route – it just seems to happen (and it’s been happening now for more than 15 years). As you can see, the longer it goes, the more people get involved – like the scene from NYC up above.

Area recycling enthusiasts should be quite happy with this announcement by the Alabama Environmental Center. Beginning this past Monday they are now accepting all plastics, #1-7.
Previously the plastics had to have a screw-on lid, so you couldn’t take in frozen entree trays, most kitty litter bins and things like that because different processes were required to recycle them.
Just in case you need a reminder about what items are accepted at the drop-off center in downtown Birmingham, click here to see the list. You can also check out this page to learn more about Birmingham’s current curbside program or here to watch a video explaining your options.

That’s the Magic City Question that we pose to you this week. Click here to add your answer to the mix…
(If you answer here, we’ll have to move it over there, and that just takes away from us being able to get more news up 
).
Susannah Felts submitted the question to us – after seeing the responses that the guys over at Gapers Block got after they posted it in their Fuel section. Incidentally, Felts will be having a book signing event tomorrow evening at The Bottletree – one of two for her first novel. Trav interviewed her to find out some more about the book and it’s now up on Timetable – check it out.
FYI – you can now get a taste of what’s going on around the site by checking out the central column of our front page – that is, if you’re normally reading us via RSS or email. We figured you’d like that one-stop shop idea.
Joe Minter’s The Slave Ship. André Natta/The Terminal
This is one of the many pieces created by Joe Minter that will be discussed during the last installment of Vulcan Park’s Collective Perspectives series beginning with cocktails and socializing at 5 p.m. in their visitors center. This calendar listing provides additional information about Emily Hannah’s presentation about the long-time Titusville resident.
If you really can’t come out, then check out Charles’ thoughts about that office park that you drive by on the way home… you know, the one on 280 – or do you? Though we think you should come out and enjoy that time you’d be sitting in traffic with us at Vulcan.
