Review of Montgomery, Alabama


Montgomery - progressive but boring!
Star Rating - 8/7/2007
Montgomery has come along way since my move here about 10 years ago. The shopping has improved greatly (no more having to drive 2 hours to Birmingham to shop), and the development and revitalization of downtown is one many people are excited about. The build up of East Montgomery, including EastChase has been the biggest improvement so far. However, I think Montgomery is a much better city for families - definitely not a town for single people. The nightlife is NOT happening and there is generally not much to do. Even though the mayor has been very progressive, there is constantly holdback with increased development due to racial tension, the increase in crime (this is becoming a huge problem), and conflicts between city council members.
