Do we really need to say any more? This is the line at The Summit at around 6:15 this morning.

By the time you see this, AL.com should have already hit the area and prepared some video for later on. Fox 6 was already there when I pulled up. And I have a feeling there will be a few folks that will blame Highway 280 traffic for being late to work today while secretly waiting for the new Apple iPhone 3G. Just saying…

We’ve got a great “Got Plans?” guest blogger this week

Carla Jean Whitley of Birmingham Magazine has graciously stepped in this week to write up this week’s Got Plans? post as Christina enjoys a week off (though we’re not quite sure where – or even if she’s out of town really).

Let’s see what CJ’s got planned for us this week over on Timetable, shall we?

Take photos of what’s IN

The IN Birmingham campaign’s been making a lot of folks in the area consider just what that means and how to record it. Libby’s been filling us in on what some of the results have been from the nominations that were collected (here’s her current post), now the folks over at a new Birmingham area photoblog are asking folks to submit photos to their site.

And while there are currently several photos in the Magic City Flickr Group as well as our own Terminal Flickr Group, the more places these photos are shared, particularly when associated with this question, the better!

New hours at Urban Standard

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.
