Here are the three top stories today in Mountain Brook:

1. Scenthound, a new dog grooming business in Birmingham, is opening a second location in Mountain Brook this November. It's going to be located at 354 Hollywood Blvd., next to Mexico Lindo. Memberships start at $35 to the concept, which specializes on five core areas of dog maintenance: "Skin, Coat, Ears, Nails, Teeth." (Bham Now)
2. The fatal shooting on Sept. 29 of a man at a towing business in Downtown Birmingham has been ruled a justifiable homicide, meaning the shooter will not be charged. The incident took place at 2605 5th Ave. South. (AL.com)
3. A Jefferson County Commissioner brought up the prospect of allowing Saturday absentee voting ahead of upcoming elections. The proposal was ultimately rejected by the Commission in a vote of 3-2. (WBRC)

Patch deal of the day:

Wine lover alert. We found this amazing deal from Splash Wines — an 18-bottle curated selection of reds and whites for fall — for just $69.99. Shipping isn't cheap at $39.95, but that still comes out to just over $6 per bottle. Splash Wines has a money-back guarantee if you don't like the wine and 4.6 out of 5 rating on TrustPilot. So: recommended.
