Proud Birmingham in the face of economic downturn
The recession is biting, the chips are down, but it was great to be at an awards event last night that celebrated excellence in the face of adversity.
The Best of Broad Street Awards 2009 highlighted the best bars, clubs, restaurants, doormen, bar staff and various other categories from Birmingham's 'golden mile'.
There was fire (jugglers), glitz (you should have seen the attire of some Broad Street staff!) and champagne (not too much, but each winner and highly recommended received a bottle as part of their prize).
Buy today's paper for a wrap-up on the awards, and if you're one of the winners don't miss a full-colour picture spread in this Friday What's On section of the paper.
Videos and online coverage will be on birminghammail.net later this morning.

Eyeontheball as I commented on the blog you link to the internet is a zone of the ill informed malicious anonymous comment - at least Mr D leaves comments on his blog instead of over zealous censorship.
