The weekend’s almost here…
…and we’re ready to help with at least a few of those suggestions. Christina and Sam are delivering a one, two punch of their own today. Christina’s up first with an extremely crowded “Got Plans?” although, if you haven’t already seen it this morning, you missed this morning’s tip.
Sam follows up with his column (available after 12:45 p.m. today over there) highlighting some options musically in Birmingham’s downtown and Southside areas.
You know, we’d like to cover some more sections of town (and some more genres). If you’re interested, drop us a line. It sounds harder than it is and it’s fun – plus we’re actually starting to get CDs to review (you can say you knew them when…).

AEC: All plastics now accepted
Area recycling enthusiasts should be quite happy with this announcement by the Alabama Environmental Center. Beginning this past Monday they are now accepting all plastics, #1-7.
Previously the plastics had to have a screw-on lid, so you couldn’t take in frozen entree trays, most kitty litter bins and things like that because different processes were required to recycle them.
Just in case you need a reminder about what items are accepted at the drop-off center in downtown Birmingham, click here to see the list. You can also check out this page to learn more about Birmingham’s current curbside program or here to watch a video explaining your options.

So what would you tell your 15 year-old self?
That’s the Magic City Question that we pose to you this week. Click here to add your answer to the mix…
(If you answer here, we’ll have to move it over there, and that just takes away from us being able to get more news up 
).
Susannah Felts submitted the question to us – after seeing the responses that the guys over at Gapers Block got after they posted it in their Fuel section. Incidentally, Felts will be having a book signing event tomorrow evening at The Bottletree – one of two for her first novel. Trav interviewed her to find out some more about the book and it’s now up on Timetable – check it out.
FYI – you can now get a taste of what’s going on around the site by checking out the central column of our front page – that is, if you’re normally reading us via RSS or email. We figured you’d like that one-stop shop idea.

Joe Minter’s art at Vulcan tonight
Joe Minter’s The Slave Ship. André Natta/The Terminal
This is one of the many pieces created by Joe Minter that will be discussed during the last installment of Vulcan Park’s Collective Perspectives series beginning with cocktails and socializing at 5 p.m. in their visitors center. This calendar listing provides additional information about Emily Hannah’s presentation about the long-time Titusville resident.
If you really can’t come out, then check out Charles’ thoughts about that office park that you drive by on the way home… you know, the one on 280 – or do you? Though we think you should come out and enjoy that time you’d be sitting in traffic with us at Vulcan.
