The bank where they still know your name.⁠

There aren't many places left where you walk through the door and someone remembers you—not because a computer tells them to, but because they actually know you.⁠

That's the difference at Merit Bank. Whether you're opening your first account, buying a home, or growing a business, you'll work with people who take the time to understand where you're headed.⁠

Sometimes the best service is simply being known.⁠

The best part of summer isn't checking everything off your list.

It's finally having an afternoon where you don't have to.

A few hours by the pool. Something cold to drink. A good book. Bare feet. Maybe nowhere to be at all.

Whether you're relaxing beside a pool by Johnson Pools or enjoying a backyard brought to life by Southern Scapes, these are the moments that remind us how good home can feel.

Here's to slowing down—and savoring every last sip.

A city is remembered by its places. It’s defined by its people.⁠

The ones who lead with generosity, create opportunities for others, and use their time and talents to make their community better than they found it.⁠

For 25 years, Women Honoring Women has celebrated those women while supporting the mission of the WEDC Foundation (WEDCF), which empowers women across North Alabama through higher education, mentorship, professional development, and financial assistance.⁠

This year, we’re especially proud to celebrate our very own Dawn Pumpelly as a 2026 Women Honoring Women honoree. Through The Scout Guide Huntsville and beyond, Dawn has spent years championing the entrepreneurs, creatives, and small businesses that make our community what it is.⁠

Congratulations to Dawn and this year’s remarkable honorees, Nancy, Lindsay, Rachel, and Stephanie.⁠

Join us September 17 to celebrate their leadership while investing in the next generation of women. Reserve your seat today through the WEDC Foundation.⁠

Our favorite kind of itinerary leaves plenty of room for spontaneity.⁠

Sometimes the best weekends are the ones waiting just down the road. Pack a picnic, spend the afternoon on the water, wander through a favorite boutique, and end the day over a dinner worth lingering over.⁠

Lake Guntersville has all the ingredients for a day that feels like a getaway—just a short drive from Huntsville.⁠

Save this itinerary for the next time you need a little escape close to home!⁠

It's kinda chic to know the owner.

To have a favorite table. To remember names. To choose the coffee shop, florist, or boutique, with a familiar face behind the counter.

It's kinda what we're all about. ✨

In our latest Scouted, Dawn spends the day in Decatur—panning for gold, visiting the Carnegie Museum of Art, and discovering a few reasons to slow down and see our neighboring towns with fresh eyes.

Because sometimes the best adventures are the ones waiting just down the road.

Some of our favorite traditions are just getting started.⁠

A concert under the stars. A Friday evening stroll through the Botanical Garden. One more Trash Pandas game. ⁠

Save this list, make a plan, and enjoy a few more weeks of summertime in Huntsville.⁠

What's still on your end-of-summer list?

Think back-to-school doesn't apply to you? It just might.⁠

Once the school bells ring, the beaches get quieter—and that's exactly when we'd book the trip.⁠

From Huntsville, it's easier than you might think to trade your desk for the coast, with nonstop flights to Gulf Shores and convenient Florida destinations that put you within reach of some of the South's favorite beaches.⁠

Pack the carry-on. Pick a weekend. Beach.⁠
