- ➤ Prichard business owners reported a water leak bubbling next to St. Stephens Road has flowed into a parking lot on Shelton Beach Road for three months, causing erosion and potholes that risk driver safety.

ACCIDENTS NEWS
- ➤ Rodgers BBQ on St. Stephens Road reopened Tuesday after a nearby fire forced a four-hour closure — a firewall limited damage to minor paneling so the restaurant now operates normal 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. hours even though an adjacent mechanic shop was a total loss from an electrical problem and the fire remains under investigation.
