🌱 Over Easy Restaurant Closing + Mountain Brook Volleyball Victory

Hello all. I'm back in your inbox this warm morning with your new edition of the Mountain Brook Daily. Let's get this Thursday started off right, with a quick review of the most important things going on around town.

First, today's weather:

Sunshine. High: 92 Low: 72.

Here are the top three stories today in Mountain Brook:

1. Over Easy, a popular brunch spot on Hollywood Boulevard between Mountain Brook and Homewood off of US 280, is closing for good this week after twelve years in business. The owners decided not to renew their lease, according to a statement, which added that "True happiness is a bowl of purple grits.” (AL.com)
2. Mountain Brook High School's volleyball team ultimately proved victorious against Hoover High, winning three out of two matches after a rough start on Tuesday night. (Mountain Brook Schools via Twitter)
3. Emma Wells Strait, the owner of Mountain Brook's Heezie's, shares with readers of Southern Living what she thinks you should bring to a party when the hostess says to bring nothing; many times nothing doesn't actually mean nothing. Some of her favorite gifts are "paper cocktail napkins, a tin of Louis Sherry chocolates or a unique candle." (Southern Living)
