It's no secret the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authority needs to replace several of its PARA vehicles. Thanks to a $1.7-million check from the city, the Authority can now do that.
People lined the streets of Snead to welcome home an injured high school cheerleader. In June, a car accident on Highway 21 injured 16 year old Taylor Joiner and her mother, Selena.
For the past five years, the owner of Bella, a pit bull, says she's never hurt anyone or anything. But last Friday night was a different story.
People brought their résumés and competed for whatever local companies had to offer.
Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:

COME ON OCTOBER: Seems like most Alabamians are beginning to get a little weary of the constant heat we have been fighting most of the month of July. While we have not established any daily record highs along the way, temperatures have been running about 5 to 7 degrees above average on most days, and today will be the 26th consecutive day with a high of 90 or hotter for most of the state. While a passing shower or storm is certainly possible this afternoon in a few spots, the air will be a little drier today and the storms should be fairly widely spaced. The high will be in the mid to upper 90s for most communities.
WEEKEND FORECAST: Hot weather will headline weekend forecast for Alabama as make the transition from July to August. Look for a high in the upper 90s both tomorrow and Sunday, with the potential for a few spots to briefly touch the 100 degree mark. Showers and storms should be rather hard to find tomorrow, but moisture levels are expected to increase a bit Sunday with a better chance of a cooling afternoon thunderstorm.
NEXT WEEK: The upper high will strengthen Monday and Tuesday, and these days should offer highs in the 97 to 100 degree range along with some risk of isolated afternoon storms. The ridge will drift westward during the latter half of the week, meaning heat levels should slowly decrease with a better coverage of afternoon showers and thunderstorms Wednesday through Friday.
Partly to mostly sunny and hot. Only isolated afternoon storms.
Hot with a good supply of sunshine. Only a small risk of an afternoon storm.
Partly sunny and hot. Scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and storms.
