Scoreboard at Husky Stadium

A new, state-of-the-art video scoreboard has been installed at Hewitt-Trussville High School’s own Husky Stadium. The new scoreboard measures 54 feet high by 44 feet wide, reports the Trussville Tribune, making it the second largest scoreboard in the state. Athletes, students and community members can thank athletic director Lance Walker, who spearheaded the fundraising effort to make the new scoreboard a reality.

“The new big screen scoreboard is a game changer for the Hewitt Trussville community, and it was great to see it lit up celebrating our kids. We are thankful for Courtesy Buick-GMC and all of the sponsors who made this vision a reality.”

Maple Avenue Coffee House is a highly anticipated addition to the downtown Trussville scene. The new spot, located at 110 Maple Ave, is a neighborhood coffee house where patrons can stop for to-go drinks and treats, have meetings or just enjoy some coffee with friends. According to owner Tracy Delaney, you’ll be able to visit them in October.

“I am so excited to be bringing a neighborhood coffee house to Trussville! Maple Avenue Coffee House is that inviting and cozy place that’s perfect for meeting friends, working or just hanging out. We’ll serve great coffee and espresso beverages using beans from local roasters, hot and iced drinks, smoothies, teas and have a limited food menu. There’s also a quaint screened in porch, beautiful open deck and a huge back yard with a bocci ball court, corn hole and other lawn games, a fire pit, space for live music, and picnic tables. So, you can bring your friends, your family, and your pups! Opening in October.”

Velma’s

It’s (almost) back after popular demand– Velma’s will be re-opening after more than 10 years since closing in 2012. The original Velma’s, named after the owner’s wife, opened in 1938 and became a go-to community spot for burgers, beer and karaoke.

Now, new owners Tammy and Royce Butler are putting the finishing touches on the new and improved bar. The two plan to maintain the same spirit that made Velma’s such a beloved local meeting spot for nearly 75 years, but with additions like an expanded karaoke room and deck. According to co-owner Royce Butler on Velma’s Facebook, they should be open for business very soon.

“[We’re] waiting on a few more pieces of equipment to show up so we can get them installed, and then call ABC board and the Health Department for final inspections.“

Paul’s Hotdogs & Grill

In a recent announcement on Facebook, Paul’s Hot Dogs & Grill has decided to close their doors. The restaurant was founded by Martin “Paul” LaRussa in 1993 and served the community for 30 years.

“It is with great sadness that we close our doors today. We love each and every one of you and appreciate the support you all have given us for 30 years.”

While the restaurant may be closing, this may not be the end of the Paul’s Hot Dogs & Grill legacy. According to Abby LaRussa in The Trussville Tribune, they are considering doing a food truck instead. There is a GoFundMe set up for locals and patrons of Paul’s to donate toward purchasing a food truck and getting it up and running.
