Eddie Webster+FollowBirmingham’s MOJO night raises $315K for charity$315,000—that’s how much Jamey Johnson and Megan Moroney’s acoustic fundraiser pulled in for local charities at The Social at the Fennec. The vibe? More like a family reunion than a concert, with everyone from state senators to songwriters digging into Southern comfort food and bidding big on everything from alligator hunts to Moroney’s boots.

Joe Gallagher+FollowDead Man’s Curve: Birmingham’s riskiest turn?Every Birmingham driver knows the legend of Dead Man’s Curve—a sharp, elevated turn on I-20 West near the airport that’s notorious for flipping trucks and causing major traffic headaches. Despite new rumble strips, flashing signs, and slower speed limits, crashes still happen, especially to out-of-town truckers unfamiliar with the curve’s bite. The real kicker? The curve’s design is boxed in by a cemetery, making a total redesign nearly impossible. Locals say it’s more than just a curve—it’s a daily gamble. What do you think: Are the current safety measures enough, or does Birmingham need a bigger fix? #Transportation #Birmingham #TrafficSafety10Share
