Summary: Housekeeping.<br>Clarification courtesy of the lovely Sarah Hutton @ Village Books<br>“Hey AJ and Chris, I've loved listening to the Back to Bham themed series. I've got a list of new places to try! Quick note of clarification - Evolve is still with us on the mezzanine level as well as at their space at the Hotel Leo. Two opportunities for deliciousness!
