An African American team of developers is set to transform 222 acres of land near Lakeshore Parkway into an estimated 900 residential units, single family, multi-family and senior housing with a project that has an estimated cost of $100 million.

The Birmingham City Council on Tuesday agreement unanimously approved the deal for Green Meadow Apartments, LLC., to buy the land for $1.5 million and begin a multi-phased development.

The project includes a planned commercial center with a grocery store, retail and commercial office spaces. This is the largest transaction led by African Americans in the city’s history.

“This is a great day for the city of Birmingham,” said Mayor Randall Woodfin. “Not only because of the jobs, the homes, and the economic impact, but because of the history that is being made.”

Cornell Wesley, director of the mayor’s office of innovation and economic opportunity, called the project “transformational.”

“We are looking at what I believe to be the largest, potentially, economic impact led by African Americans in our storied history as a city, that bring over $100 million worth of economic impact and investment in our area,” he said.

Michael German, CEO of Green Meadow and former director of the Alabama field office for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), said, “We’re looking at the redevelopment, reimagining this whole new community that exists and bringing in all the facets of housing and business that will make this grow and will provide tax relief for the city because we’ll be contributing.”

The land is off Lakeshore Parkway at 1911 Tiger Walk in the Oxmoor neighborhood and adjacent to the Jefferson County Industrial Authority. Preliminary studies suggest the project will also generate 240 permanent jobs and another 2,000 construction jobs, in addition $500,000 in property taxes in the first three years, according to the city.

Sad news. He was so iconic during my childhood. I remember washing clothes with my mama and pretending to be Razor Ramon.

RIP Razor!

And this system we are valued more dead than alive we need to stay on code and stay vigilant your organs have value you need these intelligencies trust me that's why these white supremacists hunt for them after we're dead and gone

an Diego, California — At 12:38 p.m. on March 3, 2022, the San Diego Police Department received a request for “urgent cover” from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department at a residence in the 400 block of West Beech Street. Deputies from the Court Services Unit had gone to a residence at that location to serve civil process paperwork on a female resident. When they contacted the woman, she was uncooperative and was holding a knife. The woman eventually closed the door and the deputies requested assistance. While the deputies were waiting for additional resources, an employee in the building told them the same woman threatened a maintenance worker with a knife the previous day.

Did you see his Twitter this morning? This dude must be higher than Snoop saying all this.

“I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat," Musk wrote on Twitter, adding: “Stakes are Ukraine."

But I won't lie, I'd pay to watch those two fight. Shit would be hilarious. I keep forgetting Elon is an older dude. He acts half his age. Maybe that is what keeps him young. Who knows. I just thought this was stupid and funny. These white people are so quick to pick a fight they know will never happen. lol

Now I ask all the naysayers that are FBA think we don't need reparations now?

This is very near and dear to my heart now knowing the dangers of abortions and how it's still a murder on your bloodline if you participate or commit one of these acts not cuz I said so but because the evidence shows so with this being said B1 family we need to pay attention to this our ancestors are trapped and it has a lot to do with this I'll leave it at that please post below your thoughts

Cardi B was upset after seeing a video of a teacher who got hurt during a classroom brawl. She says their behavior wasn't "gangsta." She doesn't seem to realize nobody's going to take her as a role model on something like this!

It's amazing how angry we can be once we've seen behind the curtain......no more fear It's no longer an option. B1✊🏿

The war has a war within a war. A war against black people trying to flee a country that they are not citizens of. Even though there are innocent Ukranian people in this conflict, many of those so-called innocent people have committed anti-black actions against the melanated people of the earth. We have found that the Ukraine is highly saturated with Neo Nazis amongst its citizens and within its military, policing and government.

We as a people shouldn't take sides for these wars started by white people against white people but we definitely should pay very close attention to how we are treated during these times of war.

I Never understood the whole sneakerhead thing, I like shoes but not to the point where I would spend 700 on a pair of collector jordans or anything like that. I do notice though, #FBA women and men love to own hella shoes, why? I have about 15 pairs of shoes, I don't know if that's too many or average, what's the average amount to you? and how many pairs do you have?

According to a report from PWTorch.com, former WWE and WCW star Scott Hall is on life support at a hospital in Marietta, Georgia after suffering three heart attacks. The report notes Hall had hip replacement surgery last week and there were complications when a blood clot got loose.

It was just over one week ago that news broke via PW Insider that Hall had suffered a broken hip after a fall and been hospitalized.

Hall had been scheduled to appear in Dallas during WrestleMania week for WrestleCon.

The 63-year-old Hall is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, having been inducted as a singles star under the name Razor Ramon, and later under his real name as a founding member of the New World Order during his time in WCW. He was one of the most influential stars of the boom period in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Best thoughts to Hall and his family during this time.

The f is this?


Like I understand the concept of NATO but if Russia does anything to Poland, then suddenly we are all made to be put at risk with our lives? Like you think Russia won't attack the US just because we ask them nicely not to or something? If we strike them, best believe they will hit us back. Maybe that is what these sickos in power want. Really seems like they all have war boners right now. Must be good for money making... Just not for us cause when they are making their money off war, the cost of living goes up for us!

This can be through basic care, weight gain, excess drinking, or just plain ol' laziness.

If you are in a relationship with someone who is letting themselves go and allowing bad habits to come in, how do you address it? How do you tell them they need to get their act together without coming off as mean, cruel, or insensitive?

TBA's Program was way too hot for YouTube tonight. They targeted him tonight. The LGBTQ is definitely team white supremacy. The agenda is real.

“The U.S. Military Academy is aware of the situation involving West Point cadets, which occurred Thursday night in Wilton Manors, FL,” said a statement from the academy’s public affairs office. “The incident is currently under investigation and no other details are available at this time.”

These are the same people who will go out and "defend" the United States in the military, it's bad enough we have card carrying white supremist all throughout every branch of the military, now we have crackheads who operate killing machines? I can only guess these are most likely white people.
I'm sure nothing will happen to these crackheads.

I saw it on the news last night that a lot of states in the US are taking in refugees. Many of which don't know English and will be getting funded off our taxation. I didn't think it would happen. I legit thought Poland, Sweden, and those other white nations would be taking them in but nope. Supposedly the US is getting MILLIONS of them. I would check your state and keep an eye out. Be aware of where they are putting these people. They likely won't be sending them back any time soon, if ever.

Did ANY of you know there are a few islands off Mexico's mainland with black latinos? My Grandma and I use to watch this black world traveler named Marwa, this is the first time I have watched him alone and it kinda bothers me since she is no longer here to enjoy this with me. We watched Marwa for about 3 years now. Enjoy.
