Iverson's "retirement," Chicago Old Sox & Alabama's
2009-11-28 06:44:00 The Bald TruthMy vote for the most ridiculous story of the year: Allen Iverson's make-believe retirement.The guy releases a statement - through Steven A. Smith, for cripe's sake - saying that he's still a great basketball player but that he's retiring for now basically because no NBA team will start him, coddle him, pay him big bucks and make him the focal part of its offense. That's not a retirement. That's a national pout.Jeesh. If Iverson isn't careful, the Broncos will trade him to the Bears....

The Alabama Freedom March
2009-03-24 18:45:00 Forty-four years ago today, on March 25, 1965, the iconic civil rights leader and Nobel Peace laureate Martin Luther King led 25,000 marchers, Negroes and Whites, to the state capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks, challenging Alabama to put an end to racial discrimination.The Alabama Freedom March, as it was called, ended shortly after noon at the foot of the Capitol steps, and as people from all over the nation stood facing the white-columned statehouse, Dr. King assured them:?Yes, we are on the move and no wave of racism can stop us. (Yes, sir!) We are on the move now. The burning of our churches will not deter us. (Yes, sir!) The bombing of our homes will not dissuade us. (Yes, sir!) We are on the move now. (Yes, sir!)

Group Dangles $50K for Jews Who Move to Alabama Town
2008-09-09 15:09:00 I found this article on Yahoo in which an organization is offering Jewish families as much as $50,000 to relocate to Dothan, Alabama. Just curious to see where Dothan is located, I discovered that the town of 58,000 is 204 miles from Atlanta; 107 miles from Tallahassee; 198 miles from Birmingham; and 268 miles from Jacksonville. Those seem like the biggest cities closest to Dothan. Anyway, the small Jewish community in Dothan is slowly dwindling so they are seeking young families to relocate. As the child of parents who grew up in small towns in Western Pennsylvania (hometown of Joe Namath) and Eastern Ohio (hometown of Lou Holtz), where the Jewish communities are now virtually non-existent, this story fascinates me. Not enough to make me consider moving from the Washington DC area to Dothan, but it is still intriguing. More information about the relocation project can be found at Blumberg Family Jewish Community Services of Dothan website.

Huntsville, Alabama
2008-08-31 03:58:00 We have arrived in Huntsville. Instead of driving all the way to Virginia and back again we have decided to stay here. I couldn't extend my stay at this hotel so I will be moving down the road tomorrow. Jeff is home all alone, poor guy. Our day in the car was loud. Lily is out of sorts. I guess getting uprooted without notice is hard on a five year old. At least I am only one days drive from home. We are 400 miles north of the gulf of Mexico so I think we are good. My prayers for everyone still on the gulf. Don't know if I will have internet access tomorrow. Thanks for all the kind words.I follow comments. Leave a comment and I will come visit your blog.

Pick of the Day 6/7/08
2008-06-07 11:03:00 Both Bottletree and Workplay are closed tonight for private events. I hope whoever is in there payed dearly to take away my two favorite venues on a SATURDAY NIGHT! Seriously, who closes on Saturday night! Let me tell you who doesn't:The Spots @ SpeakeasyAdmission: 8$It Starts: 8PMI have to admit, I like vocals. I often get annoyed at "all instrumental" bands. This is a flaw of mine, I am aware of it, but it does me no good. Local band The Spots do not annoy me. Their constantly shifting, ever grooveful stylings have me sedated beyond caring.

2008-06-05 11:03:00 I was really worried that there was gonna be nothing to see tonight. That was until I looked up Bottletree's event calendar.

Back to the tunes we go:Destroy Everything / Baak Gwai @ The NickAdmission: ?Get There: 10 PMIt's not often I hear a genuine punk band that pushes the limits of that genre into unexpected directions. Most of them are re-hashing a sound whose origins they have no memory of. Destroy Everything are harnessing punk for their own mad designs, and infusing it with multi-shout harmony and southern rock hues.Baak Gwai are a Tuscaloosa band that I've featured in the post a number of times. If you haven't seen them yet, now's as good a time as ever. It's never to late to open your ears!Honorable Mention: ZZ Top @ Verizon Music Center Lost Finale @ Bottletree
