Mayor’s Minute: November 2026
Happy November, Homewood! Have you recovered yet from October and our Centennial celebrations? It was quite a few weeks; it’s still so impossible to believe that we are lucky enough to celebrate the last 100 years of our existence as a city. A Centennial only happens once!

Continuing to show up: Hoover chamber gives Freedom Award to Vietnam veteran Bennie Ellis
On a shelf near the window in his home office in Hoover, among the photographs and the models of trucks and the things people gave him over the years, there is a plaque. The room is crowded. A comfortable chair, shelves, books, tables, a desk, every surface holding something. A man does not decide to accumulate a room this way.
