SCARING UP SOME HALLOWEEN FUN

Inverness Home Is Decorated In Ghoulishly Great Style Coming up with imaginative costumes isn’t the only way to get creative for Halloween. Melissa Hagood, with her straw gentleman friend, gets thrills and chills from decorating her family’s house and yard in the spooky spirit of the season. Read about the Hagoods’ house plus the “Witches of Rockhill Road,” and get tips for fall decorating from local designers in our Home section beginning on page 24. Don’t miss more ideas for Halloween fun in About Town, page 3.

According to Walk Score 2011 rankings, Homewood is the state’s most walkable city. Scores were determined by mapping out the walking distance from neighborhoods to places in several categories. See Life, page 14.

The Birmingham Zoo hosted its largest fundraising event of the year, ZooGala 2011. Guests mingled with a serval, Burmese python, great horned owl and Captain the Llama. See Social, page 16.

Betsy Lefkovits started Petit Trousseau because she loved dressing her children in timeless, traditional clothing but found such items hard to come by. See Fashion, page 30.
