Wade on Birmingham: Three is a magic number
Monday, October 6th, 2008
After 1,752 posts, Wade on Birmingham reaches its third anniversary today.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my insights and spotlights on the city as well as Alabama. On any given day, we’ve seen this city triumph and stumble.
I’m grateful for the support from the community of writers, publishers and activists who have contributed to this space.
But I’m especially grateful to you, the reader, for spending time every so often to check in and weigh in. Thank you for visiting.
