TRUSSVILLE Every day offers a new opportunity for each of us to do something special for another person. Maybe we buy coffee for the person behind us in the line at Starbucks, or maybe we pay off someone’s layaway at Walmart. Or perhaps, a simple smile is just what the doctor ordered for a stranger and we are there to offer it just in the nick of time.
Not far from the corner of Main Street and Chalkville Road, in downtown Trussville, sits a charming soda fountain and sandwich shop. The Three Earred Rabbit serves fresh lunches, including a variety of salads, sandwiches and exquisite desserts. Owner Christine Leonardi has made it her mission to create a family environment. From the servers to the executive chef, each member of the team is an important part of everyday operations.
A BRIDGE linking west and east Hove has been given the thumbs-up from local leaders. Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade, has given his backing for a bridge to be built over the railway track from east of Sackville Trading Estate to the Hove Station car park. The bridge would be built at the same time as the construction of the new housing at the Sackville site. Mr Kyle said: “The housing development at Sackville Trading Estate has created a unique opportunity to build a new train bridge that is accessible for all across the tracks and I’m thrilled to be supporting the idea. Let’s make this happen”
BOXING legend Chris Eubank’s nephew was spared jail after drunkenly smashing his Range Rover into rows of parked cars. Luke Simon Eubank, 35, from Hove, admitted failing to give a sample and possession of cannabis after neighbours stopped him. He was banned from driving for three years and handed a 23 week suspended sentence after magistrates in the city heard he hit several parked cars while trying to drive home drunk. Eubank, of Old Shoreham Road, was driving at walking speed near his home, scraping and bumping into parked cars when a neighbour came out to investigate. The Range Rover had hit several cars and there was severe damage to the front, the court heard.

Cycle lanes have proved controversial I RECEIVED my hard copy of Changes to travel and transportation in the city at the weekend and was saddened and disappointed by its contents, but not surprised. The questionnaire is biased towards those who walk or cycle (no questions for road haulage companies, delivery drivers, emergency services, taxi drivers, private car owners) and is simply an exercise in validating what Brighton and Hove City Council intends to do anyway.
It shows nurses, probably cycling to or from work – and is that an admirer to their right? It is thought this was taken in Sackville Road, Hove, in about 1938. The Queens Nurses lived and worked at the bottom of Sackville Road. A stroll on sunny Brighton seafront, 1936 Maybe they delivered the baby in this pram being pushed along Brighton seafront in the sunshine. Note Embassy Court in the background. Children studying some sort of military scene in a shop window in the late 1930s. Was this pre-war propaganda? The picture of three little children fascinated by what they see in a shop window may not be what it seems.
