Montgomery, AL
A Wonderful Place to Raise a Family -
3/30/2007I would like to respond to some of the prior comments. I have lived in Montgomery all my married life (32 years) and it has been a wonderful place to raise a family. Montgomery may not have the very best school system but not all white children go to private school as one lady commented. My children had great experiences in the publics schools and in some of the magnets schools. Montgomery has an excellent magnet school program. The city has a great youth athletic program for kids to be involved and opportunities through parks and recreations for such things as tennis and gymnastics, dancing and art at very reasonable costs. There are lots of opportunities for involvement in the arts for the adults as well, with the outstanding Shakespeare theater and the Davis Theater. Many adults and families enjoy the fun at the Riverwalk stadium and Biscuits' Baseball. As for the racial problems, they do still exist with some individuals but there are a growing number of people, particularly Christians in Montgomery who are working together in unity to make this city a better place and one that demonstrates the power of the love of Jesus! Thank you for the comment about Frazer Church, as that is my church. There are other awesome churches in our community as well. MOntgomery has a tremendous background of history, as the cradle of the Confederacy and also the Birth of the Civil Rights Movement. We have had many differences in the past, but we are coming together as a tremendous group of people with a really great city!
