Since it was announced that the Birmingham Eccentric would be closing its doors after over 130 years of reporting in the area, a group of concerned citizens and local officials from Birmingham, Bingham Farms, Bloomfield Township, Bloomfield Hills and Beverly Hills have been working with staff from Gannett Newspapers to keep the Birmingham Eccentric alive in our communities.

 

As a result of these efforts, the Birmingham Eccentric will remain in publication temporarily, and a more permanent reprieve is within reach. If an additional 3,000 new subscriptions can be obtained by July 1, 2009, and a total of 5,000 new subscriptions by October 31, 2009, the Birmingham Eccentric will continue to be published in our communities.

 

Join citizens and officials from the communities of Birmingham, Bingham Farms, Bloomfield Township, Bloomfield Hills and Beverly Hills for a Town Hall Meeting to Save the Eccentric on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at The Community House, located at 380 S. Bates Street in Birmingham. All are welcome to attend and show support for the Eccentric and share ideas for how this valuable community asset can be saved.
