Here are the top three stories today in Mountain Brook:

1. A nationwide shortage in Adderall, a medication used to treat ADHD, is being felt in Alabama. Ralph Sorrell, the owner of Ritch's Pharmacy in Mountain Brook, advises that users of the prescription drug pay careful attention to the dosage in which it's prescribed. He said there's often a shortage around this time of year given the medication is often prescribed to kids and teens at the start of the school year. (WBRC)
2. A new children's book, "The Adventures in Noahland," by author Phyllis Leyden-Alexander tells the story of a child living with disabilities. In celebration of Disability History Month, she will be presenting her book tomorrow at noon at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. (Village Living)
3. Shades Valley Presbyterian Church is selling its Mountain Brook Chapel to a Birmingham real estate firm that plans on developing a "mixed-use property" on the site. (Subscription/CoStar Group)
