No more reservations at Eighth & Rail for tonight. There’s a room limit so the crowd can be comfortable in the last hours of 2006. For those with reservations, have a good time. And Be Safe!

I noticed that John Rice had some folks taking old paint from the Spin Clean that’s been vacant for the past year or so. If you look close at the building you can see the building was a resturant in the past. There was a rumor of another cafe opening in the spot, but I think that may just be “Street Talk” and not the case for now. More recently as the Spin Clean, there… Read More
That’s Shirley Flora in the Yellow Parker. The Annual Christmas Tree Recycling from Keep Opelika Beautiful and the Opelika Tree Commissionwas held on Saturday at the Chamber of Commerce.

By the way, you can still drop trees off at the Chamber thru Wednesday… Read More

It sounds like the guys at Chrysler are after the Mini Cooper market with their plans to join with Chery in China! While to folks at General Motors have been fighting the guys in China at Chery Motor Company for probably stealing a… Read More
Keep Opelika Beautiful will do their annual Tree Recycling Program this Saturday beginning at 10AM. Bring your tree by the Opelika Chamber of Commerce office and drop it off.

Hypergiant is playing New Years Eve at Eighth & Rail! It’s the band formerly known at Hatch (as in the TV Show Lost, I’d suspect). Not sure where the new name came from, but I did find the following definition on the internet. Put that definition with the band and it should be a great night of music. Precise definitions vary, but all agree that hypergiants are the most massive and luminous type of star… Read More
I wandered into the kitchen to find Bo hovering over the vent as the heat was blowing the warm air. He sayed long enough for me to grab this picture.
