wenty-four years in the Birmingham Fire & Rescue Service Department and fire Capt. Harold R. Watson

III feels just as much pride in the profession as he felt when he first joined in 1992. “I became a firefighter because I wanted to serve my community. I enjoy providing service to those that are truly in need,” he says. Giving back has always been a priority for Watson and pursuing firefighting has allowed him not only to serve in his community but also to honor the heroes who had such an impact on him in his early childhood. “As a child, my grandparent’s house was almost destroyed by a fire that I caused.," Watson says. "While the family and I were all in a panic and scrambling to extinguish the disaster, after being notified, the local fire department arrived and calmly handled the incident. Well, needless to say, they became my new all-time heroes.” After serving at various fire stations in Birmingham throughout his career, Watson has found a home at Station 32, located on U.S. Highway 280 and he’s excited to continue growing with his department there.

"We do receive numerous fire alarm calls per month, but fortunately not many full-alarm fires in the area.”

After serving with the department for years, not many things surprise Watson anymore, but there is one call from his earlier days that has helped to shape him into the firefighter he is today. “During my earlier years as a firefighter, a child was rescued from a burning house during the holidays. Just days before Christmas the family lost everything and almost lost their child. At that moment I realized that losing material things mean nothing compared to losing a life.” Saving lives—whether through action or training and education— is what drives fire Capt. Harold R. Watson III and his continued work with the Birmingham Fire & Rescue Service Department will help him to even better serve his community at Station 32.

entrance, shelves display the latest cyclists’ merchandise the savvy owners deem worthy of carrying such as top-of-the-line jerseys, socks, waxed canvas bags and water bottles. Located at 5530 First Avenue South, the café must be experienced for its dinner menu, featuring three different options each night of the week. Homemade pasta from scratch is a true delight! Tuesday’s special is farfalle con pesto, Wednesday's is fettuccine puttanesca, Thursday's is pappardelle brown butter and Friday’s favorite is lasagna. If not the biggest fan of pasta, no worries for there is also an excellent café salad—kale mixed with green lentil, roasted beet, carrot, candied walnut and pomegranate dressed with a lemon-tahini vinaigrette. Make sure to take advantage of the mouthwatering dinner menu on weeknights until 10 p.m. The café closes at 3 p.m. on weekends. Working our way in reverse, we see the lunch menu, which is available between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Soups, salads, two sandwich options—featuring bread from local bakery Birmingham Breadworks—are offered, and chicken and rice is the seasonal option. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable whether you are meeting with some friends or having a moment to yourself. A turntable spins music that floats slightly above the conversations filling the room, creating the perfect sound for deep lunch reverie. If time does not allow for a meal, there are superb drinks that can be served to-go. Creative baristas can quench any thirst, pulling from the traditional Strada espresso machine. Whether your desire is a latte, mocha or even cortado, Woodlawn Cycle Café satisfies. There are eight options for loose-leaf tea, and coffee choices of cold brew, batch brew and manual brew. Draft Kombucha and bottled products finish the day drinks menu. There is also a beer and wine menu upon request. Finally, breakfast is no joke, with four solid options to start the day. Alongside the toastie, there is a muesli, granola—with milk or yogurt—and a toasted bagel with optional butter and jam, plain labneh or olive labneh. Brunch takes place all weekend, with a rotating menu of inventive dishes. Saturday is definitely the most social time of the week. A healthy dose of morning light is essential to a good breakfast or brunch and, even on a cloudy day, one can sense the refreshing, innovative vibe of the wonderful Woodlawn Cycle Café.

By offering great service and amazing food, Mudtown has been a staple and attraction for locals and tourists alike since opening its doors. Owner David Horn bought the restaurant in 2005—at which time it was voted best new restaurant—and kept the name for historical reasons. The term “mudtown” was used by the Creek Indians in the 1800s to describe the swampy, muddy conditions that were often caused by thunderstorms in the Cahaba River vicinity, the same area in which Mudtown Eat and Drink is located. Mudtown offers nightly specials as well as a happy hour weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Take pleasure in eating your Sunday brunch on one of two outside decks. You can appreciate live music from local artist Cody Howell every Tuesday evening. Find these and more events and specials on their Facebook page by searching for Mudtown Eat and Drink.

The Benefits of Honey WORDS SIDNEY LEO

Honey has been around for thousands of years and has been used in almost every culture around the world. Many people use it to sweeten food and beverages, but did you know honey is one of the top superfoods used to treat countless health conditions and boost overall health? Honey contains 18 amino acids, and it has antioxidant and antibacterial properties that help fend off harmful pathogens. It can also be used to treat a wide-range of aliments such as healing wounds and burns, athlete’s foot, sore throats and even a hangover.
