Sundays can be days for catching up on things, including important local stories you may have missed in last week’s daily digital editions of The Birmingham News. So to help you out, here are some of the stories our readers found most interesting last week.

Chef turned flipper: William Thornton introduced us to a new home on Second Avenue South in Birmingham’s East Lake that is catching a lot of eyeballs — not just for its look, but its price tag. The 2,100-square-foot Caribbean-style long home, with three bedrooms and two baths, has a price tag of $569,000. It’s the latest project for a Birmingham company whose owners have ambitions to build a variety of single-family homes in different price ranges in the Woodlawn and former Groveland communities.
