Be advised at 3:40pm on July 1 there is a uHaul truck blocking west bound traffic between Indian Creek and Jeff. Sheriff Department is on the scene directing traffic. Douglass Rd is one lane where it is blocked.

Heads up! There is a water main break on Douglass Rd just east of Jeff. Expect delays until at least 3pm, maybe longer.

In addition, water may be off for some customers of Harvest-Monrovia Water Authority.

The Meta Academy is not is Huntsville, but I am willing to bet there are quite a few people in our area who would be good candidates for this opportunity.

The article appears in a local news outlet.

Sad ending to this story, but I'm glad the family was able to get closure.

Auburn/UCF was supposed to be on ESPN2 at 2pm, but because of the rain delay, the game did not start until 5pm. Instead of showing the Auburn game, they are showing the Kansas/Arky game. I'm fine with that, but when I go to ESPN+, I can't access the game now. No more logging in with my provider.

Please, Greg Sankey, find a way to extracate the SEC from the crapfest that is ESPN. The Cartoon Network would do a better job covering SEC Sports.

Well, the game is delayed again after 12 minutes.

Hey Parents! Do you know where your teenagers are and what they are doing? Do you randomly check their bedroom and cars for things they shouldn't have? You should. I think we are all tired of hoodlums feeling like there are no consequences for their behavior.

This same thing is happening at more than just this neighborhood across the county.

Can anyone tell me how to contact the cemetery records keeper?

Phil Vandiver made this announcement on Facebook, and I thought I would share it here. For most people renewing their car tag is the only interaction they have with our county government each year. Making it easier is major improvement in customer service.

District 4 car Tag Renewal Kiosk.

Madison County License Dept has installed a car tag renewal kiosk at the Monrovia Community Center, 254 Allen Drake Drive. This kiosk will be available during MCC regular hours which are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 7am-9pm. Wednesday from 7am-7pm and Saturday from 9am-5pm. This gives people time after normal work hours to come take care of their auto tag. The county is looking to add more of these kiosk and Madison Cross Roads Community Center will be getting one then. Thanks to License Director Mark Craig and the Madison County IT Department for working to provide this service to our citizens. This adds another way for you to renew your auto tag to go along with in person at the Service Center, online and mail. Now county wide kiosk for auto tags. District 1 and District 3 have added machines at some of their district offices and the service center added a kiosk to help for when the crowds get large. Thanks to all that were involved with bringing this service to the citizens.

The north Alabama site formerly occupied by Bravo! Italian Kitchen won’t be vacant long.

A day after the chain announced it was closing its only Alabama location at Bridge Street Towne Center in Huntsville, North Italia announced it would take over the space. It will be North Italia’s second Alabama location after opening a restaurant at Birmingham’s Summit development in 2021.

North Italia’s website lists the Huntsville location as “coming soon.”

Offering daily house-made pastas, pizzas, salads, salads,sandwiches and more, North Italia is owned by The Cheesecake Factory, which also has a restaurant at Bridge Street.

“North Italia is a modern interpretation of Italian cooking in the upscale casual dining segment,” the chain’s website said, “North Italia strives to be a modern Italian restaurant with a neighborhood feel, offering classic Italian favorites with a fresh twist made from scratch daily. Contemporary design and décor elements including large dining rooms, high ceilings and open kitchen layouts coupled with a focus on exceptional hospitality and high-quality, personalized service creates a warm, lively atmosphere for guests to create memorable experiences.”

Currently, there are about 40 North Italia restaurants around the U.S.

Bravo! opened its Huntsville location 2014, occupying a prime 6,700-square-foot space in the outdoor retail development. Its parent company, Florida-based Bravo Brio Restaurants, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2025. The restaurant chain’s first owner, Food First Global Restaurants, filed for bankruptcy protection in April 2020.
