Review of Montgomery, Alabama


Not as bad as you think
Star Rating - 8/29/2012
Here is the scoop in Montgomery, AL. Obviously it has its racism problems. It was once the capitol of the confederacy and where MLK church is located. Show me a city that is over 200k people with no crime. Bad things happen everywhere. I have lived here for 32 years(im 32) and Ive seen it turn from nothing to do to alot to do. in 8 years a new outdoor mall has been built, baseball stadium, riverfront and massive hotels downtown. Downtown has almost 20 restuarants, 7 bars, a splash pad for kids. There is almost something eventful every weekend at the riverfront or downtown. Police patrol the areas and in 5 years we have gotten 5 brand new firetrucks. Every city in Alabama either closes down fire stations or fires people. We have an Insurance rating of 2 and the best is one. There is only 60 cities in the US with a rating of 2. Anyway I admit the schools are bad so either move to a surrounding city for descent schooling or private school. Also a childrens museum is opening downtown. Thanks
