Good morning! Just got an e-mail from regular reader and contributor Stan the Gummint Man, who asked if I had ever run across the fine site Birmingham Rewound in my various Internettery.
Ashamedly, I must say I haven't, but it's a peach of a site (maintained by the wry Russell Wells) and includes all kinds of great photos and stories about the Magic City from back when it all seemed a bit more magical. If you like Lileks' rambles around old Minneapolis and Fargo, you'll enjoy Rewound as well.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at August 2, 2005 09:03 AMHey, the comparison to Lileks is good. I knew it reminded me of someone I'd read before, but could not put my finger on it.
Now I guess I have to go figure out who is Pat Gray later. Hmmm...
