- Regeneration of Birmingham city centre’s Dale End on hold for five years
“Independent clothing store the Oasis has been given a reprieve after signing a five-year lease for its Corporation Street premises”. Very glad to hear it. New leases are being offered on units in there now, if you’re interested - TwiTrip to Birmingham – the verdict | Travel | guardian.co.uk
“Sarah Turner’s Twitter-led trip to the second city took her from Russian art at the Ikon Gallery to a top Brum boozer in Moseley and a belting Balti in Sparkbrook” - Crowning of the City’s Stylish | Style Birmingham
Here’s the list of winners from the recent Style Awards 2009 – ‘the places and people keeping the city at the height of the fashion game’. Congrats to Disorder for picking up the Token Local Shop Award - Brumcast 134 ‘Oxjam Brum Special’
The most recent episode (scrap that, a newer one just arrived) of the must-listen podcast/radio show featured bands appearing on the Oxjam Brum bill over the weekend - Cut-Out — CiB Charity T-shirt
Apparently there’s only about 7 of the ’small’ t-shirts left now. Thanks to everyone who bought one – the money has been going to Acorns Childrens’ Hospice
Such good news about Oasis – so many memories hosted there, guess we’ve all got a bit more time to soak them up, now – this economic downrturn does seem to be throwing up some interesting benefits, doesn’t it.
Good to see CIB coming back to life, too!
This is the time of the pheonix
Or something…
