Well, as much as I've had my grievences with Councilwoman Miriam Witherspoon, it is a sad day to hear about her passing and a loss to the City. She was a huge advocate for making the City of Birmingham up to ADA standards. She was one of the main proponents for having the City Board of Education building upgraded to be wheelchair accessible, and I don't blame her for since the City is still be held by the DOJ to upgrade all public facilities to ADA compliance.

The Five Points South Music Hall is reopening. However, this time it isn't going to operated by Clear Channel like it was from the late 1990s until 2002, but it plans on being a similar operation as it was as it former self. This is great news to hear that the one venue on the Southside that had acts from all genres and was a high profile location.

Former MTV VJ and Birmingham native, Alan Hunter along with his brother, Hugh Hunter are the first filmmakers to take advantage of the new state incentives package for films made in Alabama. The name of their film is titled "Lifted" and will focus on a young, talented singer. The state has made the turn on attempting to make a go on the producing films here about stories based here, so here we go, LOL

Does anyone know happened to Safari Cup? It was closed yesterday and there was a sign on the door saying they had relocated.

Edit: The Safari Cup MySpace page now says they're moving the business to Chicago.

On the former site of the Metropolitan Gardens housing project, a mixed-use development should have been built on that area. But I guess it is Birmingham's version of Atlanta's Centennial Place development.
