Have you noticed?  Look around Spring Hill!! 
Our Village is looking better and better.

The Village of Spring Hill is looking better every day as property owners make improvements and help create the attractive, safe and walkable community that was the goal set forth back in 2006 when the first Village of Spring Hill meeting was held.  Thanks to all of you who have gotten into the spirit for a better Spring Hill!!

Kudos to…

All of the neighborhoods in the Village of Spring Hill that are updating their entrances and working together to make their areas more attractive and safer places to live.

Country Club Estates and Wimbledon Garden Club for replacing old street signs with good-looking winter green nameplates on black posts. A recent article in the Mobile Press-Register called attention to the Country Club Estates residents and the Wimbledon Garden Club for starting this project.  The street signs as well as new stop signs match the signage used by the Village of Spring Hill in the main intersection of Old Shell Road and McGregor Avenue. 

 (For neighborhoods who would like to start such a program in their area, contact Ira Wells at the City of Mobile Traffic Engineering Department, 554-9481 or e-mail  ira.wells@CityofMobile.org.)      

 

 

 

Billie and Russell Goodloe for renovating their building and landscaping the property at 4501 Old Shell Road.

 

 

 

 

Spring Hill Shopping Center for updating the store fronts and landscaping the islands throughout the Center.

 

 

 

 

Place LeVert and Eaton Square for replacing the aged pear trees on the street with the Village signature tree, the Drake Elm.


Big Doings at The Holiday Place

What can we say but WOW! The Holiday Place property owners did not spare the change when they updated using as much of the Blueprint as possible. Wide sidewalks, a new pedestrian friendly entry way, gorgeous new lamps, courtyard and benches, Drake Elms and tree grates, landscaping AND signage (OK you are sooo getting 10 exclamation marks) !!!!!!!!!! Plus they even hosted an Artwalk - a wonderful community event in a lovely setting. If you did not attend - MAKE SURE you go next year! Next time you're out jogging stop and sit a spell and visit with a friend in this lovely little spot.

                 

Family Pharmacy opening soon

What was once dark and empty is now a charming new business facade in the Village of Spring Hill near the intersection of Old Shell and McGregor (previously home to five gold monkeys). The new owners have obviously taken great care in choosing an appropriate old Mobile paint color for the exterior. They have included two Old Mobile benches which is part of the signature look for the Village in case you haven't heard... We look forward to the grand opening!

Nice renovation at Bebo's Spring Hill Market

Not just your run of the mill gas station reno here! What a fun addition to the Old Shell Road corridor with the rustic wood and tin accents - Bebo's Spring Hill Market is far more than a gas-n-go! Inside you can find gourmet foods and condiments, a nice selection of wine, friendly staff and twice a week deliveries of fresh french bread from New Orleans! The attention paid to the landscaping enhances the visual appeal of this business in the Village of Spring Hill.

Love the New Look at d'Artistes

The new planter and plants and cheery bench are just the ticket for enhancing the Village and enticing customers in the door.

 


Wonderful Landscaping at Gold Art
The new landscaping and hardscaping in front of Gold Art looks FABULOUS! This is an example of an area merchant actively moving forward with a beautification project that enhances the entire Village!  Excellent job...


Congratulations to the Llanfair-South
Yester Oaks Civic Association
for the attractive brick entrances that have just been completed.  Funded mostly by the Association, Councilman Reggie Copeland did secure some City grant money to help complete the project. President Harry Satterwhite says there will be additional landscaping when the weather cools off in the Fall. Each entrance will be marked with an appropriately named brass plaque. This is a wonderful example of how neighborhoods can come together to improve the areas where we live.  Thank you Llanfair and South Yester Oaks!

Have you noticed the beautiful yellow and red flowers on Old Shell Road at the entrance of Spring Hill Trace. The entrance sets a perfect example of how neighborhoods can improve the look of The Village of Spring Hill.  Mr. & Mrs. Buck Trehern personally plant and maintain the entrance beds to their street.  Other neighbors plant and maintain the end of the cul de sac. Thank you all for your wonderful work and contribution to our special area. 

 

 


Property owners Mickey Crosby, Irvin Bullock and Bay Haas have redone the landscaping at The Holiday Place.  The new plantings look beautiful and give the area a nice manicured look. Well done! (See photos)

Architect Craig Roberts was generous to put together a color palette for suggested paint colors when new buildings are under construction.  Thank you, Craig, for your interest and your time.



Thanks to Mr. Sam's Hair Fashions for adding the flower boxes in front of their shop on McGregor!
