🌮 Huntsville’s Del Taco Is Now Open

The wait is over Huntsville, Del Taco is finally open! The new Tex-Mex restaurant serves tacos, burritos, burgers, fries, and more daily, starting at 10 AM.

Since the 1960s, Del Taco has been a West Coast favorite, known for its fresh ingredients and late-night cravings. This location (7003 Cabela Dr) marks Del Taco’s third in Alabama, following spots in Opelika and Phenix City.

Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a full meal, stop by and give it a try! Click here to see the menu.

🌆 Skybridge Over Memorial Parkway Set for 2027

A 1,300-foot pedestrian Skybridge will soon connect Lowe Mill to Downtown Huntsville. The design features a 12-foot-wide path for walkers and cyclists, offering a safe, scenic route over Memorial Parkway.

Construction is set to begin later this year, but the bridge likely won’t be complete until mid-to-late 2027. The Skybridge is part of the $65 million Pinhook Creek project, which includes adding greenways, park spaces, and improving bridges.

The new Phaze 3 Fitness in Jones Valley (1319 Four Mile Post Rd) is finally open! It features the latest exercise equipment, a saltwater lap pool, and personal trainers who can help members reach their goals.

After a workout, members can relax with cryotherapy and hydromassage chairs or grab a smoothie to refuel. Whether you’re just starting out or love fitness, this gym has something for everyone.

If you’re interested in joining, membership starts at $25/month.
