Do you have any suggestions for what should be included in a community conservation plan for metro Birmingham?
The Freshwater Land Trust would love to hear from you this afternoon, October 19, (beginning at 4 p.m.) at Vulcan Park.
While we’re thinking of it, now may be a good time to make sure you’re aware of the Land Trust’s ARTSCAPE event, taking place in one month at the Avon Theater in Birmingham’s Lakeview district.

I figured that would get your attention here on a Friday afternoon as you’re getting ready to enjoy a mostly rain-free weekend.
I thought you’d like it if we told you now instead of waiting until Monday to do so…
There are no plans to post anything – and I mean ANYTHING – about the pending Federal trial of Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford – until a conclusion to the matter is determined. Well, except for the piece I’ll post tomorrow morning that was posted early Saturday afternoon explaining why. (We’ll link to it from here).
Enjoy your Friday!
We’re really not weren’t sure what the deal is was ourselves. There’d been a lot of searches recently including the words “Fire and Ice“, “Birmingham” and “what happened” bringing folks to the website so we headed over to Five Points South where we took the above photo.
The windows were covered in paper though there were no signs explaining what was going on. Comments to the restaurant’s fan page on Facebook suggest that this has been the case since October 10. Emails have been sent to the local corporate offices with no answer or voicemail available when phoned. The restaurant opened in March of 2008.
What we did learn was that the restaurant is having improvements made that should be complete in time for a December reopening, so those who enjoy the restaurant shouldn’t be worried about them closing.

Not sure if you remember back in June when the aha moment tour came to Birmingham, AL… Well, now they’ve posted the 75 semi-finalist videos on the project’s official website for consideration. We’ve got until October 15 to make sure that at least one of three videos filmed here in Birmingham is chosen as one of the top 25 finalists. The top 10 chosen from those finalists will be used in Mutual of Omaha’s 2010 television campaign. Thanks to Chris Osborne, one of the subjects of the three videos, for sharing the information earlier this month via Twitter.
Looks like we’ve got some videos to watch soon…

Fifteen blogs have participated so far in The Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham‘s inaugural Blogging Against Violence online event – that we know of. For those who didn’t see it, here’s the post that I wrote last week and here’s how we announced it on the site. This is a reminder that anyone that is interested may write posts and let them know that you’ve written one until this Thursday, October 15.
Incidentally, The Women’s Fund is the subject of an article in Monday morning’s Birmingham News about its programs and direction.

I’m not sure how many of you have heard about the fact that there’s a blog-a-thon taking place in Birmingham today, but we wanted to make sure that you did know – as well as learn more about how you can participate.
The Women’s Fund of Birmingham is partnering with NBC 13 to present the first ever Blogging Against Violence online event. Its purpose is to raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence and to raise funds for the Women’s Fund.
More info after the jump…
