🧑🥼🔬 McWane Science Center has been sparking curiosity and wonder in visitors of all ages in downtown Birmingham for nearly 30 years, and they have no plans of slowing down.

That is, except for when moving slow is best, like in their newest exhibit, Survival of the Slowest, their first traveling exhibit with live animals.

Featuring a sloth, a chameleon, snakes, and more, the exhibit is a fun play on the science behind why these animals are the way they are, and how they have evolved to best suit their environment.

If you want to know where the locals eat in Birmingham, sometimes the best answer isn’t the newest restaurant in town—it’s the neighborhood spot that’s been around for decades. 🌮🍴

Tucked beneath the Sheraton Apartments at 2921 Highland Ave. S. overlooking Rushton Park, Rojo Birmingham has been a Highland Park staple since 2002. With its laid-back atmosphere, patio seating, and menu full of longtime favorites, it’s easy to see why people keep coming back.

And this October, Rojo will be part of It’s Nice to Have You in Highland Park, a free neighborhood event featuring a porch-crawl-style afternoon of music, refreshments and historic homes, followed by an after-party at Rojo.
