It’s the last Tuesday of February and also National Banana Bread Day. Centuries from now scientists will come across this period in history and a number will baffle them: the amount of banana bread baked and consumed from March 2020-May 2020. Take a look at other Birmingham business news you’ll find even more appeeling. 

If you didn’t know, now you do:

🌟 Make a splash in your career and join Alabama Adventure and Splash Adventure’s team. The amusement parks are hiring 400+ positions

🌟  According to data collected by the New York Times, over the past week, there has been an average of 845 Alabama COVID-19 cases per day. This is a decrease of 54% from the average two weeks earlier. To keep seeing this number go down, don’t forget to social distance, stay six feet apart and wear your dang mask.

🌟 There’s still one last week to celebrate Black History Month and the amazing events put on by the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI). P.S. Don’t miss your chance to swing by Mayawell Bar and grab a Fresa 75. A portion from every sale goes toward the BCRI. 🍹

What will I do? Report on the coolest, buzziest and most interesting people, places and things happening around the state. If it’s not exciting, you’ll make it sound like it is.
Any must-haves? A desire to be in-the-know all the time. Writing skills that border on irreverent (but keep it profesh, ok?). A close relationship with your camera, phone and social media.
