There’s a state creed for Alabama?

That’s one of the things that Left in Alabama contributor Redeye learned recently and decided to share with the popular blog’s readers

…and now we invite you to head on over there and learn it, Alabama’s state motto and the reason why the phrase “Heart of Dixie” is on all of the state’s license plates for yourself.

Wake up with Charles tomorrow morning

If you feel like hitting that snooze bar tomorrow… don’t! You may miss former Terminal contributor (and designer of that orange logo you all like) Charles Buchanan‘s appearance on HGTV’s That’s Clever at 7 a.m. If you miss it then, well, let’s have Charles tell you more about that and other things over on his blog.

We’ve got a list of the artists in and/or from Alabama that have or will be making appearances on the show in the coming weeks over on Timetable. It also gives you an excuse to see what other stories have been hiding out over there from you in recent weeks (with more coming soon).

Where to go next?

That’s what local blogger Grammaticaster is asking for help with figuring out. After checking out this post about the situation over on Warum Ich Bin v3.0, you’ll want to pick one of the choices available in the top left hand corner of the site or offer a suggestion in the comments section. We’re pretty sure he’ll appreciate the assistance.

Daily Dixie’s done (for now)

That’s the word from Dan -a visit to the Daily Dixie site confirms the unfortunate fact. We’re gonna miss him. He says that he may be willing to let someone else take over (and that he may even return to it himself someday soon). There’s also a far from exhaustive list of the reasons he “quit” blogging.

For those that haven’t scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page, he promises that we’ll be able to go back and reminisce his entries soon…

So what’s it like to commute by bike?

Why not ask Brian – or at least check out his blog posts. We noticed a great deal of interest from our newsletter subscribers when we included his blog, Brian Commutes By Bike, in our Five Links section of our e-newsletter this past Friday, so we figured there may be several of you that may be interested as well.

The blog’s title says it all, or at least we hope it does. You may even get a chance to hear about some of the things we miss during our regular commutes…

The latest Brum photo debacle

Seems like the Tory MEPs and the City Council in Birmingham, England don’t talk to each other that often. The Birmingham Post’s Joanna Geary shared an abbreviated version of the council’s debacle on the newspaper’s news blog earlier today. An image of our skyline was included on a recycling brochure that went out to more than 360,000 households in the English metropolis. Yes, we’re expecting jokes to appear in the comments.

Back in January members of the conservative party in England’s Second City decided to include a photo of the Birmingham skyline on their website… if you don’t remember what happened, check out our post from back then (which includes a screen capture of the image in question). It remained up for several days, or at least a week, based on what we learned for our follow-up post. One of the results was an interesting comparison of the two cities by The Sun.
