In our e-newsletter last week, we let folks know that we would be giving away two (2) tickets to this year’s Birmingham Share our Strength’s Taste of the Nation event on August 25 at the McWane Science Center. We’ll announce the winner in this Friday’s edition of the express, so you probably want to get over to our contest page and enter.
The annual event to help eliminate childhood hunger nationwide is sponsored by American Express and will feature food from more than 40 area restaurants.

A lot of folks love the nuggets made available on our site weekeday mornings courtesy of BhamWiki. Now they’ve made it so you can get information from them even more often.
They’ve recently created their own BhamWiki Twitter profile, we think in part to expose people to everything that’s on it. We also think it’s a great way to maybe get some more folks interested in getting involved with the project. We’re definitely planning to use the wiki more often as our site begins to morph yet again.
