And her methodology for choosing cemeteries based on their historical “eternal residents,” architectural features, folklore, and legends makes for an effective and intriguing narrative, painting Alabama in all her complexity.

A Veteran's Promise: Honoring Our Service Members on Veterans Day

Guest Opinion by Pat Bishop SR., J.D., Major, U.S. Army (Retired) As we celebrate Veterans Day across our beautiful state, my thoughts return to a simple truth I’ve carried throughout my 26 years of military service: our nation is not perfect because we are not perfect people. But day by day, we have to look in the mirror and ask what we can do to form a more perfect union. No one understands that lifelong pursuit better than the 400,000 veterans who call Alabama home.

Mac Sabbath Turns Up the Heat in Birmingham

From the outside, Workplay in downtown Birmingham doesn’t really look like the type of place to host a metal show. The space is a multi-use event center, containing ,among other things, office spaces and a coffee shop; however, go inside and you’ll find a concert hall that’s the right level of grimy for a band like Mac Sabbath. Mac Sabbath, for those unfamiliar, describe themselves as “drive-thru metal”, playing Black Sabbath covers with lyrics changed to be exclusively about fast food. It’s as ridiculous as it sounds, but it makes for an incredibly fun show. With support from Alyson Anomaly (a project by Flummox frontwoman Alyson Blake Dellinger) and Clownvis (who will be described in detail later), the show was nothing if not memorable.

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.
