Press Release
Tuscaloosa, Al (July 9, 2021) – Baumhower’s Victory Grill is excited to announce their partnership with Camping World and the University of Alabama Basketball Team to help fight hunger and serve those in need in local communities, with their first event to kick off the Plating Change Initiative. This event will be held on Saturday, July 10, 2021, from 11:30am – 1:30pm at The Alberta School of Performing Arts, 2700 University Blvd. E. in Tuscaloosa, Al. The event is being held by the College Hill Missionary Baptist Church and will serve anyone in need of a meal in the East Tuscaloosa community.
Surrounded by NASA stickers and posters, consuming one-day-only Mars-style Krispy Kreme doughnuts, students and faculty at Tuscaloosa County High School celebrated a connection to the Mars rover landing, 293 million miles away, tucked right up under Perseverance s belly.
TCHS student Vaneeza Rupani suggested the name Ingenuity for a tiny helicopter hitchhiking along with Perseverance on the journey, which launched July 30, 2020, with confirmation of touchdown on Mars at 2:55 p.m. Central time on Thursday, Feb. 18.
Rupani s suggestion was chosen from essays submitted by 28,000 students who entered a NASA contest to name the 2,263-pound robotic geologist and astrobiologist, as well as its little friend, who will test the first man-powered flight on another planet.
The morning after Bill Connell graduated from Tuscaloosa High School, class of 66, decked out in Sunday-go-to-meetin silver shark skin suit, he flew out of the Druid City at 7 a.m. on Southern Airways, and into New York City on Duane Allman s dime.
The 17-year-old musician was joining the Allman Joys, a quartet precursor to the fabled Allman Brothers Band, hired to replace Maynard Portwood, who despite being talented on the skins, was cursed with a sugar addiction that pushed him to spend intended dentistry dollars on peach sodas and pralines. Those cravings left him virtually toothless, Connell said, a visual that didn t fit Duane Skydog Allman s image of their impending stardom.
