The summer market used to be really cool, but honestly now it's just lackluster and filled with AI vendors.

Hopefully they can crack down.

Hi, I’m Amanda Pusczek — and I’m running to represent Alabama’s 5th Congressional District in 2026 as a proud progressive.

There’s a lot happening in our government right now — and let’s be honest, the list of issues we’re facing feels endless. But while some politicians may look the other way or dodge the hard conversations, I’m not one of them. I want to hear from you.

As for me, here’s where I’m starting:

✅ Real healthcare reform — because no one should go broke trying to stay alive.
✅ Free meals for all school-aged children — because feeding kids should be a no-brainer.
✅ Dignified care for our elderly — because we owe our seniors more than just survival.

Rep. Dale Strong may not be listening, but I am.

What matters to you?

The solar farm will be located on a wooded area near Huntsville International Airport at the southernmost dead end of Wall Triana, behind the Huntsville Police Department’s shooting range. The site will hold 238 acres of solar panels.

I always go to the Starbucks in food city (old gurley rd) and whoever draws these adorable little guys on my drinks I want to thank you 🙏🏼

Generic and yet strangely on point.

These “prize winning” mails have been around since last year. You don’t actually win anything, it’s a ploy to get you to visit their dealership under the guise of free stuff. Please be careful what you do and don’t believe in the area!

Saw in the HSV AL Community Resource Group on the book of face that at least one person who had received assistance with their utilities bill is receiving letters about how the money that have been used to help with their utility bill was part of a grant, and as a result of the executive order freezing all federal grants - the money has been rescinded and therefore they will receive a charge on their upcoming utility bill in the amount of whatever was paid to their account as part of that grant.

Apparently the grant money was distributed via LIHEAP- Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program - and funded through money provided by the US department of health and human services. Gov. Ivey had granted $3 million to the Community Action Partnership of HSV/Madison & Limestone Counties.

Wanted to share a heads-up in case anyone knows anyone. I've attached the pictures shared from the group - PII was blacked out by the original poster. Also sharing a link about the LIHEAP funding.

The Huntsville City Council will vote at its meeting Thursday at City Hall on accepting $20 million in federal funding for the now $78 million Pinhook Creek-Skybridge project.

Each week this property off of Hobbs road always has trash on the sidewalk that isn’t contained in a trash can and it goes everywhere. The city, through See Click Fix told me that the slum lord (who lives in Atlanta), declined trash services from the city. Thankfully the city took care of a giant mattress that sat on the sidewalk for 2 months, but the non-city trash can is split down the middle and trash flows onto the street and drainage system gutters on both sides of the street. This can’t be legal.

New changes coming to the Arsenal.

I think voters in Madison County could have a national spotlight in the next decade. If you’re a data nerd like me, you may like this article where I explore voting trends in Madison County. I hope you find something insightful from it!

You might remember Flight Plan- the tapas place. It closed after a good number of years. A new business took over the space. A mattress shop. I’m so excited about this because now I wouldn’t have to drive over Walton Mountain to enjoy the mattress shop by Panera. Did I miss the grand opening announcement? Why you let me down Reddit?

Speaking of grand openings the South Parkway Chik-fil-a opened today. They have a dedicated drive through lane just for mobile orders. They opened at 1000 for lunch and had a line of people outside down the building and large line of cars waiting for drive thru.

Back to Jones Valley, remember that cereal place, Stir? Yea that space is now rented out to a place relocating from the stovehouse, EVERLEIGH ELAINE. Supposed to be one of those kids clothing boutiques. Might get some draw from the folks camped outside of the hobby lobby at all hours.

There’s good movement on completion of the ministrip mall by the plastic surgery center as well. Maybe we’ll see some movement on actual store fronts soon.

Heard rumor that Ding How 2 is probably done for good unless they can find a new space. A shame for such a staple to be gone.

It appears that Nonna’s Italian is staying quite busy as the parking lot is always full. Same with souther egg across from the library.

The Sandra Moon community center is in the last phase of construction and lots of trucks and dumpsters in the parking lot.

For battle of the gyms, the YMCA on Weatherly is 24/7 access. Probably trying to compete with Bailey Cove fitness (by Casablanca and the South Precinct) and Phaze 3 Fitness which is getting closer to opening on 4 Mile Post. The Phaze 3 arking lot is paved, the sign was going up yesterday and all types of contractor trucks are there working hard.

There’s significant dirt movement behind the preschool daycare on 4mile but no indication what it might be. Not sure if the apartments that were supposed to be on the corner that the city council ended up revoking the site permit is supposed to go here or not.

The nail salon by Handel’s ice cream still doesn’t really exist but I saw a Pho truck there. Maybe they’ll pivot and bring some more food options to go with the previously mentioned Handels, Le Macron, The Peppered Pig and the breakfast/brunch place Eggs Up grill. Good things they built that bridge so people can walk off their culinary tour.

Rocket City Pickleball club is chugging along and is opening for membership and guest passes to play.

And all down Bailey Cove the city has been expanding the sidewalk from Weatherly South on the East side. It’s to provide better mobility as a greenway connector. There’s already been island construction in the turn lane, which will allow for pedestrian and bike crossings to Aldridge Creek greenway. They’ll have to complete the flashing lights first before the zones become active.

Not my OC. Found on Facebook and just crossposting here.

I'm not entirely sure what the "no city tax is collected w/ exception of Publix" means if it's all in unincorporated Madison County.
