A very special “Got Plans?”

Usually I use my weekly space here on The Terminal to tell you about all the cool things I either am doing or wish I could be doing during the weekend. I try to come up with 3 to 5 events, a mix of family-friendly and what I would do if I wasn’t a mama. This weekend however, I’m only focused on one thing and that’s City Stages. I’m excited, I’m ready and I’ll be there Friday through Sunday. So head on over to Timetable for my Top 5 things to do at this year’s 20^th annual music festival.

Five citizens are being honored for their contributions to the history of the city of Birmingham by being named the latest additions to the city’s Gallery of Distinguished Citizens. The annual induction ceremony is being held at Vulcan Park this afternoon beginning at 12 p.m. and it’s open to the public.

Oscar Adams, Jr., Colonel Stone Johnson, Nina Miglionico, Steve Orel, & J. Richmond Pearson will be honored with bronze statues and a new interactive kiosk when their likenesses are place in City Hall. Check out the News’ coverage from earlier this week as well.

We were thinking of the most fair way to give these two passes away while seeing folks show their love for the music festival (as well as for us)… and we’ve settled on giving them away separately. Here’s the catch, we’ve got to see you tomorrow (Friday) at lunchtime over at Java and Jams (321 20th Street North).
