GUSTAV IS COMING

While in church today, I noticed unfamiliar faces around me with a look of despair and uncertainty probably thinking of a possible Cat 4 hurricane heading toward the Gulf Coast and their homes.  I remember Ivan and Katrina when Birmingham became a host to thousands of evacuees.  I can’t speak for the entire community, but in the area around the 280 corridor, you find true Southern hospitality.  When we approach you and express our concern, we mean it!  When we ask, how are you doing, we want to know!  When we mention, can we help, we will!  Birmingham may not be the biggest city with a fancy skyline or considered a vacation destination, but we represent good, genuine, caring people, who truly mean, “have a nice day!”  So, to our friends from the Gulf Coast, “welcome and enjoy your stay!”
