I'm not saying that, but I understand why people might get that idea.
But the real truth is that no one ever drives five blocks in my downtown. They drive one block. And stop at a light that just turned red.
This is an opinion column. Murder for hire, the police say. Over a beef, maybe, that led to a week of terror in Birmingham and on its streets.
This is an opinion column I'm not one to hold on to regret. We are the aggregate of our experiences, after all, the sum of our scars.
This is an opinion column. It's about the money. They're still trying to spend $5.4 billion on this boondoggle called the Northern Beltline.
