UPDATE: The carousel continues with shuffling dial positions
UPDATE, 3;45 p.m., 7.23.2008: Word’s come in from Scott Register himself that Reg’s Coffee House will be broadcasting from 100.5 FM beginning this Sunday, July 27. Spread the word!
If you haven’t figured it out, WJOX has shifted its FM frequency to the spot formerly occupied by Y94.5 FM. While the site had not been completely redirected as of yet, the sports station’s website has already been rebranded complete with a redesigned station logo. We’re still not quite sure what’s going to happen to the frequency that once housed The X; it appears that they don’t know either as tuning your radio to the station (if you still do that) points you to a spot where signals sound like they’re crossed right now.

Parkside’s closing

We figured it was our duty to share news of a great sale, though the reason for it is a sad one. Parkside Home & Garden, operating across the street from Avondale Park since 2000, has decided to close its doors. The building is currently available for sale or lease. Based on the sign that was up in the front door window this week all items are 60% off. We’re thinking that you need to head on over there. Or at least think about checking out the store in Mobile if you start to get sentimental (it opened back in April)…
Introducing Terri Osborne
For those of you who have been following the hub a while, you may have noticed that Timetable contributor Terri Dann has been silent in recent months. Well, a while back she and I had talked and decided that with planning for her wedding her portion of the In Love With column could wait…
Well, Terri and tied the knot with Ben Osborne on Saturday. Congratulations to both of you!
FYI – Mrs. Osborne let us know that she hopes to return to the column next month (maybe even with a piece about how much she’s happy that wedding planning is over!). Now if I can remember to change her name on the site before then…

Langford profiled on NPR
We figured that many people may not have heard the NPR profile of Birmingham’s mayor filed by WBHM’s own Tanya Ott. It aired during Saturday’s broadcast of All Things Considered and takes a look at how the ride’s going so far. It definitely not the first time he’s been the focus of national media; he’s also been interviewed recently by the CBS Evening News about his four day work week program.
