Eternal Flame is “out of order” again
Andre Natta/The Terminal
The Eternal Flame of Freedom has once again gone dark in Birmingham’s Linn Park – but with good reason. The monument, relit last month, had a gas leak according to a response received via email earlier today from the mayor’s office.
April Odom, the mayor’s director of communications, said in response to our email that “the city is working with Alagasco to repair the damaged part although the maintenance of the statue is the responsibility of the Jefferson County Commission.”

If we told you why the express hasn’t left the station…
Needless to say, you either wouldn’t believe us or you’d think we were crazier than we already admit to.
So, in a rare Saturday appearance, our weekly enewsletter will pull in sometime around 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.
It will definitely be interesting to see how many folks actually check us out – or how many wait until Monday (though those of you on our list will be getting an extra special edition of the express on Monday morning as well)…
Stay tuned and enjoy the weekend!
