Remember yesterday’s On the agenda post? Well, according to sources, some City Council members said they needed extra time to determine whether the $1.7 million paratransit expenditure would be deducted from the BJCTA’s FY2009 operating budget or would be in addition to that amount, leading to a two-week delay on the item.
Well, I’m in New York City and I’ve got an interesting (or frustrating) take on it – check it out over on My Birmingham.
The Birmingham blogosphere is always growing, and recently we’ve seen some interesting additions to the mix. One of them is The Caputo Report, written by our regional Chamber of Commerce‘s vice president of public policy, Pascal Caputo.
The first official blog from the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce has hit the ground running having just completed a poll about the necessity of a county manager for Jefferson County. The chamber has been supporting this initiative for some time, including a bill introduced in Montgomery earlier this year. It’ll be interesting to see how the Chamber uses this tool in the future.
No, we don’t know where the locations will be (or even when they’ll open), but the word is that a local investor has announced plans to open two locations of Sandella’s Flatbread Cafe here in Birmingham, AL next year.
I’d suggest checking out their website to learn more about them (since they’d probably do a much better job than we would).

Well, there’s a familiar one in there as well. One thing you’ll no doubt notice as you return from the holiday weekend next week is a couple of changes to the front page so those of you that visit the site regularly know what’s going on elsewhere on The Terminal. However, for the time being:
You’ve got until noon tomorrow to enter for a chance to win tickets to The Duke Spirit show at The Bottletree this weekend;
Terri’s returned and so has In Love With, and just in time for the holidays;
It seems a lot of folks are in love with Josh’s review of Maki Fresh;
and we’re wondering what favorite Thanksgiving dish are you looking forward to having on your table come Thursday?
And we’ll give you two ways to let us know if you’re coming out to Speakeasy on December 5 – Facebook and Upcoming.

It’s Friday. And you know what that means … time for another “Got plans?” column. Head over to Timetable to see what I’ve got on my calendar.
Psst … it’s my last column.
Folks here in the city are quite connected, but they’re always looking for new ways to do so. NetworkingBirmingham has recently launched, including listings from ten area chambers of commerce, including Birmingham, Homewood, Hoover, Mountain Brook and Trussville, as well as a variety of other networking events becoming a resource that allows folks to track business networking events throughout metro Birmingham.
Users of the site can create a customizable calendar of all the events they wish to attend. It was created by Man in the Maze Marketing with the idea of helping business men and women throughout Birmingham become more effective networkers. They will work hand-in-hand with various Chambers in the metro region to ensure that the most current and accurate information is listed on the website. Users of the website can submit all types of networking events to be included on the calendar as well.
