Some of you may remember way back when Mayor Kincaid said that the Birmingham Police Department was not going to participate in the upcoming season of the popular A&E series The First 48, as brought up in a recent Black & White article. Well, tonight Birmingham will appear on the cable television series along with Tuscon, AZ beginning at 8 p.m. If you check out the episode, let us know what you think about it by adding to this posts comments below. And don’t worry, if you don’t get a chance to see this episode, there will be three other ones aired during the season, although we’re not quite sure when they’ll all air by… Or you can find out a little more about the detectives taking part in the filiming before you watch over at al.com.

I’ll buy a vowel…
I came across this while looking around the Crestwood North Yahoo Group yesterday…
“… Jana Harris, Ramsay [High School] graduate and a native of Birmingham, will be on Wheel of Fortune tomorrow night, April 1, 2008. I told her all those puzzles we did in class would help her in the real world one day…”
Check it out if you can tonight…

Hicks takes to the hardcourt this weekend
Members of Taylor Hicks’ Soul Patrol need only look to cable television network ESPN this weekend tonight to catch a glimpse of the season 5 American Idol winner. He’s playing to a sold out audience, only it’s a crowd of basketball fans hoping for a great show. Hicks will be suiting up for the New Orleans team in this year’s NBA McDonald’s All-Star Celebrity Game. Tip off is 6 p.m. local time.
Before you think about hopping a flight or the train to get down there and catch a glimpse, tickets are already sold out. Plus, Hicks was apparently a point guard in high school, so it’s not impossible to think of him dishing it to Master P or WNBA star Ruth Riley.

There were about 300 people in the Jan Hollock Recital Hall and more than 700 in the Leslie S. Wright Center Concert Hall next door.
Huckabee spoke to the smaller crowd while the larger, in the over flow section, listening. Then after the first speech, he went over to the Write Hall, spoke and then shook hands afterwards.
