🍕 Dough Dough Pizza Co. Coming to Downtown
A few weeks ago, we shared that a new pizza restaurant would be coming to downtown Huntsville, and now we finally have more details!
The Mercado Group, the team behind Standard Social Market, Del-Chuco and Local Cafe, is bringing Dough Dough Pizza Co. to the historic Huntsville Times Building.
The restaurant will take over the former Razzo Pizzeria space at 222 Holmes Ave. and will serve up pizza, salads and “sandoughs,” made with fresh-baked, 48-hour fermented pizza dough.
There’s no opening date just yet, but you can follow Dough Dough Pizza Co. on Instagram for updates as the project moves along!
🌌 Phoebe Bridgers Album Experience Coming to Planetarium
The INTUITIVE Planetarium at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center is one of a select number of venues across the country hosting a multisensory early listening experience for Phoebe Bridgers’ new album, Lost Weekend.
Starting Wednesday, August 12, through Friday, August 14, the full album will be played beneath the planetarium dome alongside real night-sky footage captured by National Geographic photographer Babak Tafreshi.

Show times are Wednesday 6 PM, Thursday 6 & 8 PM, and Friday 9 PM. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased here.
🏛 Madison County’s $100 Million Courthouse Rebuild Set for 2030 Completion
Madison County is moving forward with a $100 million plan to rebuild its downtown Huntsville courthouse, with a target completion of 2030.
Demolition of the current courthouse is set to start in late 2027. During construction, county courts and administration will operate out of temporary facilities.
Likely spaces include the old federal courthouse on Holmes Avenue and the former city Public Service Building on Fountain Circle.
Temporary relocation will cost just under $10 million, helped by $5 million from the city's latest TIF district.
