“I’m so excited to return to Birmingham and work with the fabulous team at Bham Now. It feels invigorating to put my editing and content production skills to use highlighting my hometown and shining the spotlight on all Birmingham has to offer.
What makes Birmingham special is its people. There are so many dedicated artists, chefs, difference-makers and science-minded folks working to make the city a brighter, better place.”

Now that we’ve covered her chops, let’s get to the fun part.
Here are some of Cindy Hatcher’s favorite Birmingham things:
“I love to snack my way around the city. From all-time favorites like El Barrio to exploring newly opened spots, Birmingham is miles above many other cities when it comes to its culinary offerings. I can’t wait to try new emerging restaurants, and spend some sunny afternoons in the courtyard of The Garage in the meantime.”
