City Walk Skate Park hosts weekly BMX nights
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – City Walk BHAM is going to the extreme. The downtown outdoor space hosts a BMX Night every Thursday. It's a chance for thrill seeking cyclists to practice their tricks and enjoy time outside.
Kevin Little has been doing BMX for at least 20 years. He grew up riding with his brother and it's a love that's lasted into adulthood. Little says he always wanted to be like Evil Knievel, but his dad wouldn't let him own a motorcycle, so he settled for BMX.
The City Walk Skate Park says on any given day, around 100 people will come out to use the space. Little says a skate park like the one at City Walk is something he and his brother have been looking for since childhood.

'Any park we've ever had is something we've built, you know, underneath bridges and in not-so-nice areas, anywhere that people would just leave us alone,' said Little. 'Here it's just, you've got a fenced in area, everything is super nice and clean.'
Events are hosted at City Walk BHAM throughout the week. You can find a full calendar of events HERE.

Brian Wilson, Beach Boys visionary leader, dies at 82
Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys' visionary and fragile leader whose genius for melody, arrangements and wide-eyed self-expression inspired 'Good Vibrations,' 'California Girls' and other summertime anthems and made him one of the world's most influential recording artists, has died at 82. Wilson's family posted news of his death to his website and social media accounts Wednesday. Further details weren't immediately available. The eldest and last surviving of three musical brothers — Brian played bass, Carl lead guitar and Dennis drums — he and his fellow Beach Boys rose in the 1960s from local California band to national hitmakers to international ambassadors of surf and sun. Wilson himself was celebrated for his gifts and pitied for his demons. He was one of rock's great romantics, a tormented man who in his peak years embarked on an ever-steeper path to aural perfection, the one true sound. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

The State Fair of West Virginia in the 1940s
FAIRLEA, WV (WVNS) — The State Fair of West Virginia is an event that many people often look forward to throughout the years. However the 1940s brought some changes to the annual event. The State Fair of West Virginia in the Roaring 20s On March 19, 1941, the fair became the State Fair of West Virginia from being previously known as the Greenbrier Valley Fair. The designation came after the fair's potential and popularity was recognized. Although 1941 was an important year for the fair due to the change, events around the world affected the State Fair of West Virginia for many years in the 1940s. World War II cancelled the fair in 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945, according to information provided on the State Fair of West Virginia's website. The annual event did not make a return until 1946. Due to the cancellation of the fair in 1942, fairgoers had to wait to celebrate the 1941 designation of the State Fair. In the link on the history section of the State Fair of West Virginia's website, the provided information stated that due to World War II, a decision was made by the Board of Governors that reportedly stated: Fashion of the Fair: style trends throughout the last century at the State Fair of West Virginia In taking assessment of the war situation, which has necessitated government restricting of the sale of auto tires, the rationing of gasoline, the regulation and the possible restrictions in the near future of all forms of travel and transportation except that which is absolutely necessary, we recognize an insurmountable obstacle in the way of conducting our fair and whereas, it is also our desire to conform to the cheerfully acquiesce in any action deemed necessary by the government in its war effort, now therefore, in it resolved that we abandon our efforts to operate this year and definitely call off our fair for 1942. Early Fairs and State Fair History link in the history section on the State Fair of WV website Events at the State Fair of West Virginia in the 1940s included events such as horse shows, draft horse shows, horse/harness racing, beef and dairy cattle shows, livestock judging, poultry and fowl exhibits, dog shows, agriculture shows, 4-H Club shows, and fireworks.
