🌱 New Cajun Restaurant + Jefferson County Redistricting

Hey, people of Vestavia Hills! Michael Seale here with today's edition of the Vestavia Hills Daily. Let's start by discussing the new Cajun Steamer restaurant that is coming to Vestavia Hills. I may be a little biased because I do love me some Cajiun food, but this place is awesome, and Vestavia is fortunate to have it. Also in the news the Jefferson County Commission will consider a new redistricting plan for the county at its Nov. 4 meeting. Read more on these stories and more below.

About me: I am a lifelong Alabama resident with more than two decades of media under my belt. I have worked for a daily newspaper, a weekly newspaper, a monthly magazine, a television station and a couple of radio stations. I also tried my hand at marketing for a little while. But I love writing news. This opportunity to bring Patch to Birmingham is a chance for my hometown to benefit from a new - and better - way to read and receive news.
