A mini building boom on the city’s Northside
acnatta/bhamterminal.com
We’ve got one more – hotel that is. After announcing that they’d renovate the former McArthur School as part of a purchase of the former Carraway Methodist Medical Center, representatives of Shinsegae USA have announced plans to build a new hotel to service their potential new purchase. The hotel would service the hospital as well as provide additional rooms for events and conferences at the BJCC.
Mayor Langford decided to have the building sitting on the property identified by the potential investors leveled while details about its and the hospital’s purchase are being finalized. Here’s what’s left of the warehouse that once stood at 12th Avenue North and Carraway Blvd.

Nonna’s closing it’s doors tonight
Early this morning we received an email saying that Nonna’s in Vestavia City Center will be closing its doors for good this evening. Michael Glaser, local drummer and member of the ensemble jazz group Mingusphere, shared the news with members of his email list about the Italian restaurant. The restaurant’s website is no longer up either. Sad news for fans of the restaurant and fans of the regular jazz performances as well.

Yes, we know it’s a little slow…
We will be updating The Terminal’s layout this evening beginning at about 11 p.m. We are hopeful that we’ll be finished with the adjustments in time for John’s 7:45 a.m. post but there may be a chance that it might take just a little bit longer.
The changes will not be readily apparent but they are coming because we are aware that anyone who normally looks at The Terminal using any current version of Microsoft Internet Explorer is currently suffering through extremely slow page loading times. Considering that it’s most of our readers, we think we’ve got to take a look at it. We haven’t heard of any issues with Safari or Firefox, so you might consider trying out these browsers. Otherwise, please be patient.
Thanks in advance.
