Council members used the March 23 meeting to recognize local businesses — including Salem’s Diner and Savages Bakery — promote upcoming spring events (Hop and Shop, Easter egg hunt, Yacht Rock), and heard that Homewood High show-choir groups placed well at nationals.
Councilors spent part of the March 23 Homewood City Council meeting recognizing local businesses and promoting spring community events.
Councilor Lane highlighted Salem's Diner after an online recognition naming it Alabama’s best diner, praising owner Wayne and staff for creating a community gathering place. He also welcomed the reopening of Savages Bakery under Kenneth Rhodes and thanked residents who supported the business during the closure. "Wayne makes every customer feel welcome," Councilor Lane said, praising small businesses as part of Homewood’s character.
Mayor Andrews and other councilors promoted a series of spring events: Hop and Shop on March 28 (all day, with a tram between shopping districts), an Easter egg hunt at Patriot Park (date announced for the 28th earlier in remarks), and the city’s centennial kickoff during We Love Homewood Day weekend. The council also noted the Homewood Show Choirs’ performance at nationals in Nashville: Mr. Murrell reported that Nexus (the all-girls group) and Network (the mixed group) performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage, with the mixed group placing third overall.
The meeting closed after brief remarks and adjournment.
