Here are the top three stories today in Huntsville:

1. Greyhound Lines Inc. will resume services in Huntsville on Monday, Aug. 21 following the development of a new transfer station. The Greyhound station is now located on Memorial Parkway Southwest and is connected to a Texaco station, offering customers the chance to purchase food and drinks before their trip. The new station will also have four additional schedules per day, including access to Birmingham and Nashville. (WHNT)
2. In September, the city will be celebrating its second annual Huntsville Music Month. There are over 100 events scheduled for next month designed to boost Huntsville musicians and connect music fans with local artists.
