We here at the Ramblings site received a mass e-mail last night that we realize you’ve probably already heard about courtesy of Catalyst. Just in case you haven’t heard, here it is:
Railroad Reservation Park Groundbreaking
You are cordially invited by the City of Birmingham and the Jefferson County Commission to attend the groundbreaking for the Railroad Reservation Park and District at the Railroad Reservation Park site, at the intersection of [18th Street South and 1st Avenue, South], Friday, October 6, 2006 at 10 a.m.
This event adds to the buzz already existing with the other parkland expansion projects in the city: Ruffner Mountain and Red Mountain Park (follow this link to an earlier post about the park). Those that are able to attend tomorrow’s event should be excited about the prospect of moving dirt and seeing our version of Central and Millennium (previous post link) Parks begin to take shape.
For those that want to learn more about the park’s recent progress report follow this link to the city’s website. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file.)
A word of thanks
I’d also like to thank those of you that have given to the effort that was posted about yesterday. I know that Diane was appreciative and have a feeling that David will be appreciative as well of your gifts. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, please click here to view yesterday’s post.
Thanks again and enjoy the day.
Cheers.
