| Anyone who lives in Bluff Park and doesn't get their prescriptions filled at Robert's Discount Pharmacy is really missing out. 
Dr. Robert Mills, or as everyone knows him, "Robert", opened Robert's Discount Pharmacy in August 2002 in the Shades Mountain Plaza, right next to the post office. Robert is originally from Tennessee and is a Samford University graduate. Robert wanted to open a pharmacy that was different from the chains, offering personal service and living up to his slogan "We're a pharmacy, not a waiting room". Robert also wanted to run his own business that could be part of the community, often sponsoring youth sports teams and other community functions. He chose the Bluff Park area because when he was in college he fell in love with the area, often going to Bert's on the Bluff to eat.
What makes Robert's different from the chains is that he offers personal service, which is evident when you walk in and he calls you by name and knows your prescription history. During Hurricane Ivan, many Bluff Park residents were caught without D size batteries. Robert was able to locate a large supply and drove to Pleasant Grove to bring them back to the store for his customers to purchase them.
Besides filling prescriptions, Robert's also offers a wide assortment of over-the-counter medications, greeting cards, school supplies, household and automotive cleaning supplies, candy and a large assortment of vitamins. Many items in the store start at just $1.00! Robert's accepts all major insurance plans.
When asked if he had made the right choice in locating his store in Bluff Park, his response was "It's everything I thought it would be and more!"
Visit Robert's Discount Pharmacy today. They are located at 758 Shades Mountain Plaza, Bluff Park, Alabama 35226 or call them at 823-9500.

Resting atop the central shopping area in Bluff Park is Bluff Park Village, which is now anchored by a new 54,000 square-foot climate-controlled, self-storage business that is owned by Ken Harden of Harden Properties LLC. Harden, who also owns the Village complex, saw potential for the empty old Delchamps grocery store and opened ArmorSafe Storage.
“I had been looking for a site to convert to storage but not given any thought about this location,” Harden said. After attending a neighborhood meeting a while back, Mr. Harden thought that the empty space was just the spot for this business. “I realized that this was right here at home and there was no need to look any further.” Mr. Harden said.
A lot of work had to go into turning the space from a grocery store to a self-storage facility. After being empty for five years, the old vinyl floor tiles had come loose and had to be replaced with a new floor. There was a lot of old grocery store equipment to move out, as well. Also, the purchase was pending on approval from the city for the site to be used as storage. But after a lot of work and remodeling, the Grand Opening of ArmorSafe was held in April 2006.
Customers may now come by for a tour of the facility and determine the size unit they need. There are over 300 units, and in the leasing office, customers can purchase packaging materials such as boxes, labels, tape and Styrofoam peanuts.
Climate-controlled storage is perfect for furniture or other items vulnerable to damage by heat or cold. Homeowners can store household goods (with some exceptions), or professionals, such as doctors or lawyers, can store documents and files.
Leases are available month by month with options for long-term rental, as well. |

A personal trainer by trade, Jason Cerniglia was looking for an ideal location for his own fitness center when he found the old CVS building on Clearbrook Road. Jason was able to acquire the building, gut it completely and transform it into the perfect fitness center. What made it even more special was that it was located in the heart of Bluff Park, where Jason grew up. Jason liked Bluff Park because it had no competition, is a large community and, as a personal trainer, many of his clients live here.
But you don't need a personal trainer to take advantage of the state-of-the-art equipment that Hoover Fitness has to offer (but they are available for a fee).
Jason decided to build a fitness center from the inside out. The facilities include free weights, weight machines, cardio machines, group aerobics, child care, locker rooms and personal training. Snacks and drinks will also be available for purchase.

Robert Elam, owner of Bluff Park Lawn Care, and his family have lived in Bluff Park since 2003. They are active in the community and have children who attend Hoover schools and participate in sports. Being in retail management limited Robert’s time with his family, so he and his wife thought it was time for a change.
The idea for Bluff Park Lawn Care came to Robert in 2008 as he and his wife were discussing how many improvements they had made to their yard here in Bluff Park and to their previous homes while he was a retail manager. They then decided that the lawn care business was the right one.
The goal of Bluff Park Lawn Care is to provide a top quality year round lawn care service for the community, by a member of the community. “Lawn care, by someone you know” was the first slogan that came to mind and the company name quickly followed. Their goal is to provide on-time professional lawn care year round to their clients.
Another problem facing everyone today is the economy. No problem. Along with Bluff Park Lawn Care’s affordable rates, they also offer budget billing. You can spread your annual lawn care cost over 12 months, with a service contract. In some cases, an initial service clean-up fee will be required, but after that its one low price each month.
Bluff Park Lawn Care will offer services including, but is not limited to, mowing your lawn, trimming, edging and clean up. Additional services they provide are bushes trimmed, flower beds mulched or apply pine straw and clean gutters on request. Their clients can choose to pay for each service separately, or combine all annual services and pay 12 equal payments.
Contact Robert Elam at Bluff Park Lawn Care today. He can be reached at 478-8245 or via e-mail at BPLawnCare@charter.net . |

MOONLIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN ...
has been designed and built to be a warm, comfortable
listening venue, presenting a variety of original acoustic
performers in an informal concert format. Inspired by the appeal of
house concerts and "unplugged" shows favored by musicians and small
audiences nationwide, The Moonlight showcases singers, songwriters
and instrumentalists in a mini-theater environment--- cozy, upclose,
and smoke-free.
IT'S A CONCERT HALL ...
Neither a bar nor a restaurant, The Moonlight invites music
fans of all ages and tastes to come hear artists of many kinds--
folk, Americana, roots, country and bluegrass — in a setting as
casual and inviting as your own living room. A spacious stage, with
an integrated, balanced sound system and pro lighting, along with
individual chairs and tables for the audience, creates a first-class
setting for performances of any sort.
IT'S A PARTY AND MEETING ROOM ...
When not presenting music, The Moonlight is perfect
for hosting private events, with room for 85 to 100 people to
gather. Rental rates compare very favorably with those for similar
facilities.... though similar facilities would be pretty hard to
find. In addition to the stage, there are spacious restrooms, a
kitchenette, 2600 square feet of carpeted floor space, and an
unparalleled mountain crest view overlooking the Oxmoor Valley
below. Anyone interested in scheduling a family, social, or
corporate function may contact us through email at
keith@moonlightonthemtn.com , or by calling 205-243-8851. |

| If you are looking for specialty brand children's clothing, look no further than The Wee Wardrobe in Bluff Park. Located at 801 Shades Crest Road, The Wee Wardrobe opened in September 2006.
The owners, Martha Litty and her daughter-in-law Jamye Litty, decided to open The Wee Wardrobe in Bluff Park after researching many areas. Bluff Park was appealing because of the lack of businesses like it, the history that Bluff Park has and how unique Bluff Park is.
Martha makes her own custom line of children's clothing, Kitty Kat Designs. In addition to Kitty Kat Designs, The Wee Wardrobe also carries specialty shop brands, including Remember Nguyen, Anita G, Icky Products, Mis-Tee-V-Us, Little English, Haute Baby and Grandma Nes.
Besides clothing, The Wee Wardrobe also sells accessories and baby items. If you need Christmas outfits, or unique, "can't buy anywhere else" clothing, The Wee Wardrobe is the place for you. The Wee Wardrobe is not only a perfect place to buy children's clothing, it's also a place to bring the children along while you shop, with the perfect atmosphere for children.
The Wee Wardrobe is located at 801 Shades Crest Road, where Valley Road and Shades Crest Road meet. They are open from 10-6 Tuesday-Friday and 10-4 on Saturdays.
