Ryan Horne+FollowBirmingham gets first sip of Chick-fil-A’s new coffeeChick-fil-A fans in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Anniston are getting an exclusive first taste of new coffee drinks—think Cream Cold Brew in flavors like Mocha, Caramel, and Vanilla, plus upgraded Iced Coffee options. Locals say the Cream Cold Brew is thick and indulgent, almost like a melted milkshake, and the Mocha version tastes like coffee punch! You can order these treats on the app for pickup or delivery, but not with reward points (though you’ll earn some). If these become permanent, would you swap your usual coffee run for Chick-fil-A? Which flavor would you try first? #Food #ChickfilA #Birmingham00Share
glen25+FollowPlayoff shakeup rocks Birmingham high schoolsBig changes are coming to high school football in Birmingham—private and public schools will no longer face off in the playoffs.

Julie Padilla+FollowWinter weather shakes up Birmingham flightsFlight plans in Birmingham are taking a hit as winter weather sweeps through the Southeast. Delta is sending in extra hands from its cold-weather hubs to help keep things moving at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth and other regional airports.

If you’re flying soon, check your app for updates—your flight might be rebooked automatically. How is this weather chaos affecting your travel or plans this weekend? #News #Birmingham #WinterWeather00Share

Nicole Snyder+FollowWhat I learned spending a day in a Birmingham schoolWalking into a Birmingham secondary school for a Deep Learning Day, I was floored by just how much energy both teachers and students pour into every single day. The real eye-opener? A staffroom poster breaking down how we actually remember things: just 10% of what we read, but a whopping 90% of what we teach others. It made me rethink how much of what we read, hear, or even watch really sticks with us. No wonder real conversations and hands-on experiences shape our views so much. Anyone else surprised by how little we remember from just reading or listening? #Education #Birmingham #Learning00Share
