Tomorrow 6/21/13 is the First Day of Summer...Huntsville events, road funds, and new entertainment districts

With the first day of summer looming around the corner what is everyone up to.  Seems like there are vacations about to go on or are being planned.  Everyone is getting involved in activities and volunteer groups on one thing or another, or people are taking more of an opportunity to go out more with families and friends.

Our local visitors center has put together more upcoming events.

In other news: One of our team members spotted Mayor Battle on the corner of Byrd Spring and South Memorial Parkway when he was discussing the deferred road funds for Byrd Spring & Lily Flagg.  And with the new open container legislation that has passed the city is putting out more information on the entertainment districts known as Quigley and Meridian.


Today's Tidbit: Remember rule of safety for summer, keep drinking even if you don't feel thirsty.  Dehydration can still hit you when its humid out and doesn't feel as hot.

Huntsville Alabama's Roadways and Waterways

Nicole Emmett of al.com has come out with a fantastic article on which Huntsville roadways are the most dangerous.  This is a great article for the county at large and should be taken as advisement on how to change the flow routes to make the roadways less dangerous as well as less crowded.  She does a good job with the numbers:  http://blog.al.com/breaking/2013/03/huntsvilles_top_10_most_danger.html

UAH Finishes 2nd in the Southeast Regional Concrete Canoe race to Florida.  UAH still advances to Nationals though which will take place in Illinois.

If anyone is thinking about their plans to head back to the rivers and lakes, remember to make sure all your boating/fishing licenses are in order and safety plans in place.  Better to do it now than later.

Today's Tidbit:  The two tornadoes that touched down this past weekend shows that spring has arrived and should not be taken lightly as a sign we can relax from slick roads.  Now is the time when we are in that in between stage when we get hit by unsettled fronts which can bring cool air from the north with some precipitation as well as heat from the gulf making the atmosphere more unsettled for severe weather.
