Northport Council Meeting Rundown + Alabama Mt. Rushmore

Good Morning Tuscaloosa! Let's get your Sunday morning started on an informed note.

First, today's weather: Rain and humid throughout the day. High: 83° | Low: 71°.

Here are the top 5 stories in Tuscaloosa today:

1. No injuries were reported after several bullets struck two homes and a vehicle Saturday in the Northport subdivision of Grand Pointe. The incident, police said, was the result of residents target shooting just over the city limit line in Tuscaloosa County. (More on Patch)
2. A group of residents living close to Liberty Recycling Center have filed a civil suit against the company and another firm, claiming a breach of contract due to continued fires and explosions coming from the property. (More on Patch)
3. Here's a look at the agenda and stories we will be following during Monday night's regular meeting of the Northport City Council. (More on Patch)
4. I can't get over this story, so I'm dying to hear your responses after my old friend Michael Seale, of our Birmingham Patch, ask who our Patch readers would put on their Alabama Mount Rushmore. For context, I'll give you mine, which is 100% subjective and consists only of people born in the state of Alabama: Hank Aaron, Hank Williams, Jessie Owens and Kathryn Tucker Windham. Email me your responses (four maximum) to ryan.phillips@patch.com. (More on Patch)
5. Alabama's largest airport reports that traffic is close to levels seen before the coronavirus pandemic. (More on Patch)

That's it for today! I'll be in your inbox tomorrow with the next edition of the Tuscaloosa Daily. If you're liking these newsletters, consider inviting some of your friends and neighbors to read along. You can send them this link to subscribe.

Have a great Sunday!
