• Creekside Brookwood buys portion of former Brookwood Village as redevelopment moves forward (wbrc.com) — Redevelopment of the former Brookwood Village, which sits amid Homewood and neighboring cities, is moving forward with a new sale and interior demolition already underway. Developers plan to turn the shuttered mall into a mixed-use destination with offices, retail, and green space, working closely with Homewood and nearby governments as designs take shape. 
• Sean McBride gets to 400 career wins (thehomewoodstar.com) — Homewood High School girls soccer coach Sean McBride has reached an impressive 400 career wins, capping a run that includes eight state titles with both the boys and girls programs.
