Birmingham Trinket Trade: Spreading Joy One Trinket at a Time

0:00A new community spot called the Birmingham Trinket trade just popped up on the side of the electric in Avondale, started by local Megan McCormick. It's a simple box where folks grab a trinket that catches their eye and leave one behind, all to spread some joy around the neighborhood. McCormick got the idea after hunting online for similar setups nearby and coming up empty, so she decided to launch her own about two weeks ago. She shared it on TikTok and that video blew up quick. People are loving it, stopping by for morning till late night. Even the kitchen manager at the electric says he sees lines out there, past 11 o'clock when he's closing up, and everyone's buzzing with good, vibes. The project's grown so fast it's got its own mini trinket box now, and McCormick's already planning to expand with one in Hoover. Swing by anytime, grab something cool, leave your mark, and keep that community spark alive. That's your update from Birmingham News Today, powered by AI.
