Cool website and museum about Birmingham History

http://www.birminghamhistorycenter.org/

More than a museum--The Birmingham History Center's renovated warehouse gallery offers an affordable place for meetings and events. 

The Birmingham History Center is an ideal location for small history-related group tours, meetings and special events. The museum invites your group to reserve space inside the exhibit hall, under a vaulted ceiling and surrounded by historical images and artifacts. Groups can also add food and wine to their meeting menu:  Young & Vann's broad and skylighted entryway make a natural gathering space for catered receptions, to a maxiumum of 200 people.  Call 205-202-4146 for details and fees.

Museum Executive Director Jerry Desmond is available for any donation to speak to groups about the museum or any historical topics related to Birmingham, the South, Civil War, development of Jefferson County or Alabama.  For more information, call 205-202-4146 for information.

Great song about my hometown

Weekends are for paddling

Plus it's good River Karma

From Healing Springs Animal Hospital:  "Can you give them a lift? Generally speaking, turtle populations are declining because of road kill, habitat destruction, pollution, and pet and food trade. Thousands of female turtles are killed every year crossing roads. The survival of turtle populations depends on the historically low mortality rate of adult turtles. However, turtles have not adapted to the loss of adult females through road kills, so this has a strong effect on turtle populations.

 A quick act of kindness can mean the turtle you see lives to lay eggs another year."

This is great
