Want to help Vulcan Park and Museum put on their famous Thunder On the Mountain fireworks show?
Then go here to donate: https://vulcanfireworks.swell.gives
Message from Vulcan Park and Museum:
For many years, Vulcan Park Foundation has presented one of the largest Independence Day fireworks shows in the state of Alabama, and this year Birmingham needs this celebratory tradition more than ever.
Due to the impact of the pandemic, some of our long-time sponsors have been unable to commit. We are also asking residents to come together and support the show and our community’s strides towards recovery. In order to reach as many individuals as possible, we ask you to share the link to our fundraising site https://vulcanfireworks.swell.gives.
With your support, on Saturday, July 4th at 9 p.m., our community can once again celebrate the many wonderful aspects of our lives, and from the safety of their front yards and open spaces.

Hello! My name is Cindi Czapla and I am a graduate student at UAB working on a project for Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service. We are conducting a focus group for the Fire and Rescue to collect information for their long-range plan to serve the city. This meeting will be conducted via Zoom on Wednesday, October 28 @ 6:00 pm and we are seeking participants in your neighborhood. If you would like to participate in this focus session, please email me at [email protected] for more information and to be put on the list for the Zoom meeting focus session. I hope to hear from you, and thank you for assisting me with this project!
Had a report from a resident in the Highland Park area, they noticed a distinct smell when they turned on their water this morning. We reported it to the Birmingham Water Works and they said they didn't have any other reports of that but would send someone out. Has anyone else noticed anything?
Unity of Birmingham is having a big church sale in the basement, this coming Saturday morning, August 29th. We have household items, electronics, tools, children's toys, Christmas items, books, and so much more! Come say hello and browse. Please wear your face mask and practice social distancing.
Does anyone recognize this guy? Sweet as can be. He followed me home this morning and is safe and sound for now. My neighbors can help temporarily, but we need to find his owners or a new family. He is not microchipped but is neutered. He’s great on a leash and in a car.
Has anyone seen a pair of keys in the cliff road/Pawnee area?
Grand Opening on Saturday, July 11th -- across from Rhodes Park on Highland Ave.
If you haven't ordered a cake, cobbler or pie from Reesa's Baking Simple, you are missing out. Great products at great prices. Call her for made to order goodies. 205-612-1265.
Happy birthday, ROJO!
