🌱 Hustle Up Seven-On-Seven + Inflation Hitting Back To School

Hello, friends! Miranda Fraraccio here with your Monday edition of the Hoover Daily, full of all the things you need to know about what's going on in town.

First, today's weather:

An afternoon thunderstorm. High: 90 Low: 76.

Here are the top three stories today in Hoover:

1. Ready for a house in the hills? Patch put together this list of properties around town that look pretty sweet. A $1.3 million mansion on Highland View Drive is freshly listed for anyone interested. If that's not your speed, a cozy $350,000 house is available on Single Tree Circle.

2. Big-name football recruits from around Alabama participated in the Hustle Up Seven-on-Seven national tournament. Players included recruits from Hoover, Clay-Chalkville,Montgomery Catholic, and Southside high schools. The event comes as SEC Media Week ends, giving NCAA scouts an opportunity to watch recruits around commitment season. (Tuscaloosa Magazine)
3. Inflation is hitting Hoover parents and businesses hard during the back-to-school season. Prices for clothing are up five percent, while stationery is up a whopping 13 percent, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Parents say they are working harder than ever to find a bargain this year due to rising costs. Business owners say they are working to keep costs down, but the prices of shipping and other base costs are forcing markups. (KATV)

From my notebook:
