Birmingham Ditches Ensley Tower Plan for Library After Developer's Death Stalls It

More than a decade after neighboring businesses first sued over a crumbling tower in downtown Ensley, Birmingham is abandoning its plan for a five-story commercial building at the Ramsay-McCormack site and proposing a public library instead. The pivot comes after the death of the developer leading the project and years of missed construction deadlines, with a circuit court judge now giving the city 60 days to return with an update on its new plan.

Jason Isbell Pledges ‘Alabama Blue’ Album If Doug Jones Wins Governor Race

In 2020, Jason Isbell made a promise: If Joe Biden won Georgia in the presidential election, he would record an album of covers dedicated to the Peach State. Despite President Trump’s futile attempt to “find” additional Republican votes, Democrats took Georgia — and the White House. And Isbell made good on his pledge. He released the excellent Georgia Blue in October of 2021, which included his take on songs by Georgia artists alongside special guests Brittney Spencer, Brandi Carlile, Julien Baker, and Amanda Shires, who also designed the cover art. All proceeds went to Georgia-based charities Black Voters Matter, Stand-Up Georgia, and Fair Fight. Jason Isbell and Drive-By Truckers Reunite in Alabama Now Isbell, who hails from Alabama, is pledging another set of covers, one dedicated to his home state and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Doug Jones. “We will most happily record and release an Alabama Blue album, covering our favorite Alabama artists, if Doug Jones wins the governor’s race,” Isbell posted on social media. “Easiest decision of my life.” It’s not just lip service on Isbell’s part. He has been active on the campaign trail this year, appearing at events such as a September rally in Mobile, and the campaign’s
