No, we’re not kidding. Beginning tomorrow, Urban Standard (address & location) will be open until 10 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We’ll leave you to your rejoicing now…
Oh yeah, since you’ve probably read most of the other writeups on the coffee house, we thought you’d enjoy seeing what Samford’s student newspaper had to say about Urban Standard back in May.

John Elkington‘s name is on the line… at least in Birmingham. The Birmingham News reports that the developer charged with creating Birmingham’s newest entertainment district has pledged that The Forge will be open in 390 days – a self-imposed August 1, 2009 deadline.

You can definitely tell that we took the weekend off when we miss a Radio Carousel story! The switch apparently took place shortly after Y94.5‘s simulcast of this year’s Thunder on The Mountain festivities. BTW, the website’s currently under construction. There is speculation all over the web as to what’s going to happen next. Wikipedia is currently saying that it’s gone country (though they’re currently simulcasting WJOX today) and Alabama Media Buzz is suggesting that it could be switching to an adult contemporary hits format.
The good news is that no matter what, we can count on Reg broadcasting next Sunday (at least that’s the word from the man himself courtesy of his Facebook account.

Well, we’ve been working on a one-stop shop for folks to check out what’s happening around our local web scene in a glance – a meta aggregator in the style of Alltop or PopUrls, but for Birmingham. Well, we’re still working on ours but the folks that brought you Birmingham Pulse have already launched theirs. It’s called Bhamlinks.com and currently contains feeds from our local media outlets, some of the city’s more popular blogs and us. They’re looking for feedback but since we don’t know if they want us to share the contact information, we’re going to ask you to comment here and let them know.

Chris “Mojo” Denbow has packed up and headed west, to Houston, TX. We hope that we’ll still see him around from time to time. If you aren’t familiar with him, you may want to check out one of the many online homes that he maintains.
Thanks for everything & good luck!
