The second Annual Titusville Community Connection Black History Event…read moreWe came here for our 2nd annual community connection black history event and it was a blast. We had Titusville history, poetry, singers, artists, crafts, writers, chefs, dancers and even a cellist and more. We even danced. The event was sponsored by Shelia Tyson and the Titusville library. We went over time but finished before closing time for the library. Everyone gave good reviews for the event. I was on the organizing committee so looking forward to next year.

Birmingham is a great city to live! It has that big city feel with a small town charm. Over the…read moreyears, Birmingham has emerged as a slept-on foodie city. Many new restaurants have popped up over the last ten years. New businesses bring more revenue and more revenue brings bigger acts to the city. From Chris Brown to Garth Brooks to Janet Jackson, many big names have graced our city with concerts at our new venues, Protective Stadium and the Coca Cola Amphitheater. There is so much to do in the city. From taking a walk in Avondale Park to watching a movie at Sidewalk Theater, to checking out the latest exhibits in the Museum of Art, to shopping at the Summit, Birmingham has something for everyone. Pro Tip: Follow your favorite businesses on social media to find out about different events that may be taking place. I believe that the current politicians have the city's residents best interests at heart. Mayor Woodfin combines youth and wit and for Birmingham, it works. I appreciate how his administration has helped minorities and women gain ground in the business sector by the offering of grants through non-profits such as Rev Birmingham. The school system, while still having room for improvement, has shown tremendous growth since the pandemic that has made national headlines. Is Birmingham a perfect city? No. But has it come a long way from its tumultuous past during the Civil Rights era, yes. There's so much more I could speak on, but don't just take my word. Come for a visit and let the city speak for itself.

I like Birmingham! I give a huge thanks to Birmingham for existing over the years because its music…read morescene was always so much better than Huntsville's especially in the 80s and 90s! Following a two-hour drive from Huntsville, we could be at the BJCC enjoying acts like Judas Priest, Alanis Morrisette, the Who, Kid Rock, and Van Halen (as an add on to their Huntsville shows), many of whom wouldn't bother booking a show in Huntsville's smaller VBCC. My tennis buddies graduated and played college tennis for Samford; my stepdaughter works as a PharmD at UAB; my best friend lived in and returned to the Highlands area (thank goodness); and honorary nieces have gone to college there. I was featured in a commercial in the 90s that was filmed on Red Mountain promoting "Dances With Wolves" and Kevin Costner. It's not that I was special in any way, it was part of a contest that I won. That was a fun day! I can't count the Do Dah Day events I've attended over the years, and the Do Day Nights they used to have on the Friday before the big day! I've enjoyed The Club with my best friend and have celebrated various birthdays there always completely impressed by the view! We hosted my stepdaughter's baby shower there and were so grateful to have the fabulous venue! Thank you, Birmingham for leading the way for culinary excellence! Places that come to mind are Hot and Hot Fish Club, Ocean, El Barrio, and Bottega. Five Points South and Highlands are my favorite areas of the 'Ham! Thank you "Magic City!" You have indeed brough the magic to this girl!

I had to visit the office to pay for a reserved personalized plate I had ordered online. One thing…read moreto know is that once you reserve a personalized plate online, you have five business days to go into the office and pay the associated fee. Otherwise, the plate will no longer be held for you. Something helpful I learned from the dealership where I purchased my car is that if you have a vehicle that was declared a total loss, you can bring the declaration letter along with the necessary documentation and receive a credit toward the registration and tag for your new vehicle. In my case, I received about a $40 credit, which was a nice surprise. The office was fairly busy when I arrived, but the line was moving steadily and efficiently. I was assisted by a pleasant young lady named Jazmine, who was incredibly patient as I gathered and provided all of the documents needed. Her calm attitude and kind service helped lower my stress level quite a bit, and I was truly grateful for her help.

This is hands down one of our favorite libraries!…read more There's a ton of something for EVERYONE! They have teens section, kids section, a theatre I'm talking the works but the family section is why I'd say it's the BEST! The family section features soo baby things to do. For breastfeeding moms, there's a nursery for privacy. For moms with littles, there's an outside play area that's included. There's also classes for littles but register in advance because they do fill up. They also have tons of things to do throughout the month and a cute brochure to take home so you know what's happening when. Highly recommend (even if you're not a local and just stopping by).

The old rock school building is a historic landmark that is the home for Center Point City Hall…read more The building's exterior is beautiful and definitely has a lot of charm inside and out! It's easily accessible off of Center point Parkway and there is a parking lot available on the side as well as the front of the building. The inside still has the appearance of the former school but the space is well utilized to take on the day to day business of the city. I have attended a number of meetings/events at City Hall and I always enjoy them and learn so much!
