Natta in the news
Bham Terminal founder Andre Natta has a swank write-up in one of Birmingham’s local papers (the pics aren’t bad either). Congrats to Christina Crowe on the well-written peek into what makes Andre tick. He deserves to be in the spotlight, after all this time of trying to cast the spotlight on others around town.
Also, take note of the mention of a Wordcamp in Birmingham this September!!! It’s going to be a blast!

**THIS STORE CLOSED IN FEB 2010. This post will remain up for archiving purposes.**
This is a great locally owned shop. The small storefront is misleading as the shop meanders back a good bit, making room for tons of new books and t-shirts. This general interest bookstore covers all of the major subject area and has a neat children’s area in the back. All with big comfy chairs to sit in and peruse some pages. The owners also do a good job of booking interesting local and regional authors that other stores might not make the time to host.
Poster Gallery
This gallery, of Birmingham-area event posters, is pretty cool and some good use of photography. It’s a collection from all of the acts that have played at The Bottletree. How could I have not found this sooner? I love some of the typography.
