Mountain Brook people are pejoratively known as "
brookies" by other residents of Birmingham. Famous people from Mountain Brook include
Natalee Holloway and
Courtney Cox.Detractors of Mountain Brook are quick to point out it's "close-minded, ivory tower mentality," while its fans praise it for it's "good education, low crime rates, and overall safety."Mountain Brook stores are organized around 3 "villages:" Crestline Village (where city hall is located), Mountain Brook Village, and English Village.

Mountain Brook is an extremley wealthy town in Alabama. It is FULL of money. Drug use is reasonably common only because no one knows what else to do with all of daddy's money. When we turn 16
our dad will by us a beamer or a h2 or something no less than 40,000$. We are ALWAYS called "
Brookies" by all the other surrounding schools. The only place our moms will lets us shop is at Saks. About a year ago a person living in
homewood(a nearby town) wrote a book called "The Tiny Kingdom". It is about Mountain Brook and the little things that we do that seem to be so funny to other people. The thing is every word of that book is true. Clothing is pretty much the same year round, For guys its kahki's and a
raplh lauren or lacoste, and for girls its pretty much the same thing except they wear
seven jeans. If you are a girl at Mountain Brook High School and you do not own a pair of seven jeans, then you are looked down upon. Also if you are not a member of atleast one of the two country clubs here in
mountain brook, you will be looked down upon. The only sports mentioned here are golf and tennis, except for football, we live in the south football is huge! So basicly if your daddy loves you, then so will everyone else!
IF YOU ARENT RICH...YOU WONT SURVIVE!!!!
Example:
sara-Mom can i go to the mall today?
mom-which one?
sara- brookwood village
mom-
NOO, you can only go to
the summit, thats where
saks is sweetie!

While it is true that most of the given examples of "Brookie" behavior aforementioned above are true, I would just like to remind the general audience to which
Urband Dictionary is accustomed that said deffinitions, examples, etc. etc. are not always completely true. There ARE girls from Mountain Brook who are not sluts AND do not have their noses in the air. Listed below are a lists of terms that have never been heard from the "good" girls mouths. However, there are quite a few of both, but that makes the ones who are not even more so "
diamonds in the rough" or should I say, "
the brook"
Example:
I'm not wearing that, that came from Abercrombie. I only wear persian fur.After all I am from
Mountain Brook.
This t-shirt was like 45 dollars. AND ITS AN
UNDERSHIRT!!!!! YAY
MOUNTAIN BROOK!!!!!
People from Clay, are like,-did you eat the last piece of red velvet cake-country
bumpkin trash.

A nice suburb outside of
Birmingham, Alabama.
Mountain Brook has an economy slightly higher than surrounding areas, ok a lot higher. The ongoing stereotype is that everyone who goes to Mountain Brook is considered a "
Brookie" or someone who feeds off of
Daddy's money and does drugs because there is nothing better to do. However, just because Daddy went to college, worked hard, and was successful, doesn't give the right for other people to immediately judge their kids into being "rich" boys or girls. There are some assholes and douchebags at the school, but they are devastatingly overpowered by the smart, and incredibly nice people. Mountain Brook has an incredible school structure and a community full of nice people. Unfortunately, the ongoing stereotype of Mountain Brook will continue, as the assholes who hate them will keep at their game until they decide to go drink and screw the nearest slice of booty. And while you are trashing Mountain Brook, remember this, good people live there, and they will amount to better things without the use of money.
Example:
"Hey those
Mountain Brook kids have so much money, they probably never worked a day in their life!"
"You got that right, now let's skip school so we can drink&drive while we have sex with our girlfriends who aren't sluts, cause only sluts come from Mountain Brook!
hyuck hyuck hyuck!"
Mountain Brook, Alabama,
the Beverly Hills of Alabama. Lies, Beverly Hills is in California idiots, and there sure as hell wouldn't be one in Alabama.

The Beverly Hills of Alabama. The
little green city filled with rebellious crackhead teens, loaded lawyer fathers that cheat on their wives, who are crazy wine cooler-loving freaks who are obsessed with their childrens' lives, and porsche driving celebs. Huge houses and nice cars... but tons of drama. You think they're living
the good life? You have no idea...
Example:
A sample situation in Mountain Brook, AL.
Emily: "Hey mom, can I spend the night at
Victoria's house tonight?"
Emily's mom: "What do her parents do for a living? Do they drink? Does Victoria have any
older siblings?"
Emily's dad: "Honey, I'm gone to work."
Emily's mom: "But.. it's ten at night..."
Emily's dad: "Exactly..."
