This live-stream walkabout is, in a lot of ways, about the transition of media, all media, from print and broadcast TV, to Internet digital. It’s also about Huntsville events and landmarks past, present and future, and a man whose elevator didn’t quite reach the top.

Tinsel Trail In Huntsville Big Spring Park Downtown Walkabout With Jim Casey
I’ve gone walkabout again in Downtown Huntsville! This time I wandered through the Christmas trees on the Tinsel Trail in Big Spring Park.

This is my Christmas treat for you.

Remembering Longtime Huntsville City Councilman Richard Showers Becomes A Step Back In Time
That’s when I got to know a little bit about Dr. Richard Showers. To be frank, that whole city council was a bunch of clowns. Dr. Showers, Glenn Watson, Bill Kling, Sandra Moon and Dick Hyatt were all up against an upstaging and strident Mayor Loretta Spencer. It didn’t matter what was on the meeting’s agenda, you were sure to get an entertaining show of some kind no matter.
Blueberry Fields Forever
Here are a couple of nice snapshots I took in Big Spring Park recently. My Galaxy A21 takes some practice to figure out the best use of its aspect. Sometimes a photo is transcendent and needs no explanation. These are such amazing photos.
