Posted on April 19, 2008 | Comments Off

The Pepper Place Saturday Market is in its ninth year providing residents with a place to get fresh produce while exploring one of the city’s coolest districts. The market will begin promptly at 7 a.m. and close at noon in the Pepper Place parking lot. As always, in addition to fresh produce, hand carved wooden fruit trays, wind chimes, hand blown glass, hot sauces, pottery, homemade fudge, peanut brittle and ice cream. Shoppers can also enjoy music from two stages and a weekly cooking demonstration. A chance to meet up with friends and see what Alabama has to offer in terms of produce.

Cost: Supporting area farmers and good food.

NBC 13’s on Twitter

Posted on April 18, 2008 | 4 comments

The Birmingham Twitterati is all abuzz with word that NBC 13 has joined the world of Twitter.

It looks like it’s part of a larger plan to have all NBC affiliates on the service.

They are not the first service online – that honor goes to The Birmingham News, who we believe has been using the service since last November.

Don’t forget you can follow us too – @bhamterminal.

SxDS: It’s on!

Posted on April 18, 2008 | Leave a comment

We’ve just learned that SxDS is going to happen September 26 – 28 here in Birmingham, Alabama. There will also be a WordCamp rolled into the event; it would be the first WordCamp in the Southeastern United States. Yeah, that’s on top of already having the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival that same weekend (it’s 10^th!). The announcements will appear on their sites at approximately 2:30 p.m. CDT.

More details to follow, but for now check out their official website or follow them on Twitter. You can also sign up to assist with the WordCamp through its Google Group.

Get to the airport without driving?

Posted on April 18, 2008 | Leave a comment

Among the improvements being made to the regional transit system in the near future (due in part to Mayor Larry Langford‘s $9 million pledge earlier this year) is the start of a shuttle that would connect downtown Birmingham, AL with its international airport. Similar services currently exist in many regional cities. No word on the cost of the ride out to the state’s busiest airport.

According to the story published in this week’s Birmingham Times, the service will begin shortly after the BJCTA receives its first allocation of the funds, $4.5 million, in July.
