Birmingham, AL eats.

Hmm. Apparently finding a place to eat Dinner at a non-chain restaurant on a Sunday in Birmingham, AL is harder than I thought. A whole slew of possibilities are closed on Sunday or only open for brunch or just their pub menu.

Recommendation to restaurants that have websites:

MAKE YOUR HOURS AND DIRECTIONS CLEARLY AVAILABLE, FOR PETE'S SAKE! GOSH!

Too many of them either didn't have them at all or they were so tucked away in fine print. And lose the flash entry pages while your at it.

Good thing I work in a library.

Huntsville Map of the city, geared toward bicyclists
psychoses, scallawag, pirate
[info]cainmark
BASC, The Huntsville Bike committee, has these pdf graphics available of the swell bike route map that's in bike shops and other public areas.

http://hsvbike.com/?page_id=544

As a bike commuter, I greatly appreciate this work, something I could have used back in 1994 when I committed to bike commuting full time after skateboarding and bicycling when my car at the time would often be broken down due to planned obsolescence.

Pick one up even if you're not a bike commuter because it has instructions on bicyclists right to the road and how auto operators should behave in conjunction with them, and beyond that, it's actually a really good map of the city.

Just posted a comment at the Huntsvilledevelopement blog regarding Lowe Mill

[info]cainmark
This comment I made (once it's approved) should show up after this link:

http://huntsvilledevelopment.blogspot.com/2009/09/housing-authority-shifts-to-lowe-mill.html

here;s the comment with irritating mispellings included:

That's not good. not good at all. Lowe Mill is already benefiting. It's already gone from alternative underground with the Flying Monkey Arts Center to above-ground with the Lowe Mill stuff aroudn it.

this happens againa and again ins city after city. The creative class risks going through and living in a rougher part of town, makes it more interesting and the new "cool" place to go and the upper crusts wants to kick out the pople who already live there? Let's not let Huntsville make the same mistake and instead work with people who need help instead of shuffling them off where some people dont' want to see them because it makes them "feel uncomforatble".

probably because just 2 days I saw it I was before I was thinking about a mashup of the Smurfs with Kill Bill, with Smurfette as The Bride.

If the embeddable vid comes up, this is where I will place it.



I was pretty happy it got 3rd in applause out of 18 entries in the Alabama Filmmaker's Co-op 5th Annual Rocket City Short Film Festival.
