We’re trying to think of snappy headlines for some of these posts, but there are only so many ways to say certain things… like this one. We could talk about the varying opinions of the Congressman’s constituency. We could try to get you to comment below about the issues that should probably come up during this evening’s meeting. Instead, we’ll just tell you that it’s over at the Jefferson County Courthouse in the County Commission chambers beginning at 6 p.m.

How to spend a rainy day
Our area meteorologists are saying that we’re not going to see a lot of rain until at least Sunday.
According to Charles, you really shouldn’t be using that as an excuse not to go to one of the newer establishments along 2nd Avenue North downtown.
It’s the latest installment of In Love With, and it’s ready right now!

Before we begin today…
FYI – we’ve been playing with the furniture, moving it around and seeing what will work and what won’t. The result is a few days of quiet, sporadic posting while The Terminal is under “renovations” (though we’re excited by the number of folks that have entered our City Stages contest – if you didn’t know we were having one, check out the details). They’ve been quite simple so far, but if you haven’t been to the front page, just click on over and check out the far sidebar.
We’ll be continuing to make changes to the site during the next few days, including relaunching our City Stages section on Monday morning.
We’re taking our time and hope that you don’t mind having to put up with us being quiet. Now, where were we…

Making 20th Street uniform

Those that were in downtown Birmingham last week may have noticed city crews working around traffic lights and light poles, particularly along 20th Street North. Well, a closer look at this picture shows that the city employee is spray painting the traffic signal casing black. Poles and pedestrian crossing signals were also painted black as bright red banners were hung with the city’s new logo.

A Rainbow in Roebuck Springs

A rainbow graced the Birmingham area this morning. At times it formed a faint second rainbow, but that one did not last long. The main rainbow lasted for more than a half an hour. The photo was taken looking southwest toward downtown from the Roebuck area.
