Mountain Brook
Mountain Brook is a city in Jefferson County, Alabama, and a suburb of Birmingham. According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 20,821. Mountain Brook is a particularly affluent city within the metropolitan area of Birmingham, and appeared in several lists of America's wealthiest communities.
Mountain Brook was originally developed in 1929 by local developer Robert Jemison as an extensive residential subdivision. The plans, by Boston-based landscape architect Warren H. Manning called for estate-sized lots along winding scenic roads and denser commercial development centering on three "villages", called "English Village", "Mountain Brook Village" and "Crestline Village". Nature preserves on the adjacent slopes protected the area from urban encroachment and bridle paths created a recreational network within the development.
Mountain Brook is the hometown of M*A*S*H actor Wayne Rogers, Kate Jackson of the original Charlie's Angels, Bart Starr of the Packers, and Friends actress Courteney Cox. Mountain Brook was also home to Natalee Holloway, a 2005 high school graduate who disappeared on vacation in Aruba in a well-publicized missing persons case. (...) more....
