On a day when we’re trying to stay sane over here at The Hub, we figured we’d share the latest creation of local blogger Anne Glamore, the woman behind My Tiny Kingdom. You really need to read the back story first, though if you really need to watch the video.

A moment to reflect
Considering that we’re about to witness history this evening, regardless of who you’re planning to vote for in November, we felt the need to share the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 45 years later.

Talk about a local hero
For those of us that don’t normally check CNN as much as we used to, thanks to Melanie for reminding us as we prepare to stand in long lines to watch one superhero’s return to the big screen that some of the best heroes in our community are right under our nose. Check out this video over on CNN.com about Kid One Transport founder Russell Jackson, nominated to be one of their CNN Heroes (it was first posted on July 10).

From the Stationmaster: Shake the dust
I’d like to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve visited The Terminal during the last year. We’ve got a lot of plans for Birmingham’s hub as we enter our second year of existence, but we also have a challenge for you. Listen to the words spoken by my good friend (and 2007 World Cup Poetry Slam champ) Anis Mojgani, and then click here. We hope to see you later this evening.
