MY MOUNTAIN BROOK SUZAN DOIDGE

Former Executive Director of the Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce

The Mountain Brook Holiday Parade

I love the holiday parade because it brings the entire community together at the best time of the year. I especially love the effort that the city goes through to make Mountain Brook look the best during the season. I love seeing all of the photos taken in front of the Bromberg’s tree. I wonder how many people have gotten engaged in front of that tree!

The Dedicated Park Bench

A new favorite spot of mine is the bench that the chamber members and the Leadership Mountain Brook class dedicated to me at City Hall. Frequently, I get photos of friends sitting on the bench. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Favorite Fine Dining and Fast Casual Eateries

I have so many favorite restaurants. Some “white table cloth” eateries I enjoy are Civitas, Vino, Dyron’s Lowcountry and Daniel George. Several fast-casual joints I frequent include Taco Mama, Otey’s Tavern, Gilchrist and Ouslers.

Jemison Park

I go to Jemison Park almost every weekend to walk with different friends. I don’t think there is another place like it in the U.S. Every season is beautiful. The city and Friends of Jemison Park have done an excellent job taking care of nature right here in town.

Celebrity Bartending at Civitas

Being a celebrity bartender at Civitas to raise money for the Mountain Brook Merchant Relief Fund is so much fun! It’s a great way to serve the community, too.
