Website shows Alabama dishes
Alabama's tourism agency is kicking off "The Year of Alabama Food" with a new website that gives people a chance to download the updated version of "100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama Before You Die."
State tourism director Lee Sentell said the website allows people to search for the best food in cities small and large across Alabama.
The site — www.yearofalabamafood.com — also features more than 300 food events scheduled this year.
Smithsonian exhibit looks at video games
The Smithsonian American Art Museum is opening its first major exhibit exploring the art and evolution of video games.
The unusual exhibit opens March 16, and will be on view in Washington through Sept. 30. "The Art of Video Games" will focus on the graphics, technology and storytelling of some of the best games for systems ranging from Atari to the PlayStation 3.
It will include 80 video games that were selected with help from the public who voted online last year.
The exhibit also will tour to several sites across the country, including Boca Raton, Fla.; Seattle; Yonkers, N.Y.; Flint, Mich.; and Memphis, Tenn.
Chris Melissinos, former chief evangelist and chief gaming officer for Sun Microsystems, is guest curator.
