Help send The Bomb Shelter out in style

Posted on March 18, 2008 | 2 comments

We’d hoped to get this up yesterday, but the fun thing about technology is that sometimes it chooses not to work. The Bomb Shelter generously lent us some of the furniture that we used for our anniversary party on Friday. We’d like to make sure that as many people as possible know about (and go to) tonight’s send-off for the local music venue…

Spread the word and tell your friends! (and tell them thanks for helping out The Terminal)

P.S. Hopefully we’ll have some pics from the event tomorrow over on Timetable. Send us yours if you attend.

From the Stationmaster: Shake the dust

Posted on March 14, 2008 | Leave a comment

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve visited The Terminal during the last year. We’ve got a lot of plans for Birmingham’s hub as we enter our second year of existence, but we also have a challenge for you. Listen to the words spoken by my good friend (and 2007 World Cup Poetry Slam champ) Anis Mojgani, and then click here. We hope to see you later this evening.

Random Shots: A reminder of what’s to come

Posted on March 11, 2008 | 4 comments

One of two banners hanging on a downtown Birmingham, AL skyscraper that formerly served as headquarters for Regions Bank. It is slated to be transformed into the second Marriott Renaissance Hotel in the metropolitan area.

This is one of two banners that are hanging on the corner of the former Regions Bank headquarters in downtown Birmingham that were installed earlier this week. The signs announce the pending arrival of a Renaissance Hotel in the city center and mention the partners and participants in the project. Doesn’t hurt that it references the city’s new logo either.
