Several Montgomery native NFL players are scheduled to return to their old stomping grounds to mentor the campers. (Alabama News Network)
2. On Monday, the Montgomery Police Department swore in its new chief of police. Chief Darryl Albert was sworn in at the city's municipal courthouse, supported by his family and friends as well as MPD officers.

3. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has shared further details on the involvement of an off-duty deputy in Friday's deadly shooting on Lower Wetumpka Road. According to Sheriff Derrick Cunningham, the situation began as a domestic violence incident between the deputy's mother and father.

This may surprise you, but it's fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn't new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here's why:
