Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Revised plans for Shades Valley Presbyterian site headed to council (villagelivingonline.com) — Mountain Brook officials are weighing revised plans for the former Shades Valley Presbyterian Church site that would swap 26 stacked flats for seven additional townhomes, increasing townhomes to 10 plus 13 single‑family homes. Nearby Chester Road residents worry the redesign will funnel more cars and pedestrians onto their quiet street, prompting talk of gates, added parking on Montevallo Road, and controlled access requirements.
• Ramsay uses stingy defense to beat Mountain Brook, earn 5th straight victory (al.com) — Mountain Brook's football team fell 13-6 to Ramsay on Friday night, with the Spartans' offense stalling despite two field goals from William Russ and a late drive that came up short. Ramsay's defense held Mountain Brook to just six rushing yards in the second half, while the Spartans now regroup for next week's road game at Calera.
• Vestavia officials aim to fix interstate lighting woes (vestaviavoice.com) — Drivers from Mountain Brook and neighboring cities are facing dangerously dark stretches on I‑459 and I‑65, where dozens of interstate lights are out and maintenance responsibilities are tangled among multiple jurisdictions. Vestavia Hills leaders, working with Alabama Power and ALDOT, are pushing for a coordinated inventory and cost‑sharing plan to repair aging, vandalized systems that affect safety and the overall feel of the corridor.
