Hello I like your videos. Question: we are trying to get my wife's parents' house in Montgomery ready to sell and need some minor handyman work done. Do you know or recommend anyone who might be able to help?

AL is not for everyone especially for those that grew up in very large cities, NE or West Coast states. AL is made up of many small towns and 4 larger cities. It is for those that are very family oriented with schools, community and church being the center of their lives. It is a red state, conservative and laid back. If your comfort zone is a big city lifestyle, AL is not for you. I have seen people come and go over the years, the ones that stay are usually from small towns, other Southern states or the Midwest. I have lived here my entire life, 68 years, grew up and lived in a large city, now live in a small town, not far from Wetumpka.

EJI's National Memorial for Peace and Justice, Legacy Museum and Freedom Sculpture Park are drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists annually. They, along with the Whitewater Park, are what's relevant and sparking the economic development today.

I was born in Wetumpka hospital in 1969 & grew up in Slapout (near the Church filmed in Big Fish movie). My ancestors & my friends ancestors were among the earliest settlers in the area. I have SO MANY memories in this area but a couple favorite ones were going in the top level of the old courthouse daily with my Daddy(RIP) when the Sheriff’s Department was located up there (he was a Deputy) & after heading to Little Sam’s Cafe (near Frios) & Western Auto (across from the old Chicken Shack beside Coaches Corner). I remember going in the First National Bank on the corner & every other store front in “downtown” area. I also grew up listening to stories about Wetumpka from my 92 year old Mother, she said after long weeks of working the fields with her sharecropper family they would all get a Quarter (for field work) head to the Fain Theater & sit there all day watching the same movie over & over because the building was nice & cool (not sure if the building had ac or what lol). are many beautiful areas in & surrounding Wetumpka. Proud to call Sweet Home Alabama /Wetumpka my home.🤩

Are these HOA's????

Where is the best place for me to live if I wanted to move to Montgomery, AL.

You get what you pay for.

Wetumpka is on my short list of possible places to retire.

Wetumpka is home for me and such a nice place. Great people lotta great natural spots to enjoy nature

I noticed that you did not make your video very lengthy which is awesome, because people (these days) do have short attention spans. (LOL) Also, another pro (in my opinion). For those those history buffs out there. Montgomery, is a historic and civil rights city. With a lot of museums and tours that can be taken in the city's downtown that will commensurate the two. Also, the city has historic colleges like Huntingdon College and Alabama State University with is a HCBU that also has several sporting events as well.

The shopping in Prattville has gotten greater. I was born and raised in Montgomery I am 50, and yes I had an aunt that moved up to P-ville in the 80's and yes look how time changed.

Great video! It is a great representation of deer Creek. We used to live there several years ago and your video is dead on accurate. We really loved the 2 mile loop inside the neighborhood, also!

This is nice, sir. As a 17 year resident I wanted to add perspective, and have responded to a few comments below. Like any city, we do have some struggles with crime and drugs at times, and waves in the economy always hit the South later than the East and West Coasts, so we tend to have economic struggles and recoveries that don't completely align with other areas. But, I think, our city is a hidden gem, especially for smart creative young people, families and singles, to come and connect and make the city blossom. I mean those who want to be involved, and bring people together, and build things, not just be passive consumers or remote impersonal real estate investors. Come and *live* here. You can find the silver lining in things that others dismiss - even the climate, for example, allows me to garden almost year round (tomatoes in December, folks!) Taxes are incredibly low: mine for my older home and quarter-acre lot, were less than $800 this year. This means homes are affordable for many people who otherwise couldn't dream of it (including me). We are the capital city of the state, and the county seat, with ready access to elected officials - and exciting opportunities to become involved in state or local government if you like, hopefully keeping respect for the affordability and natural beauty we enjoy, seeking ways to preserve that. There are industries that can help us all, which just need leaders to move here. Green energy hasn't yet taken off as some of us would like, but I think it is coming, especially with Meta's construction of a solar farm for its data center, and the push of several activist groups. Please, come and be part of the positive growth!

Everything looks so cheaply done for the price, but you always do an awesome job!

What about schools, that definitely should be mentioned

El problema en Alabama son los neggrossss Vayan a los algodonales carahoooooo!!

I lived in Montgomery a life ago... my then husband and I did not like the public schools for our two girls, but thank goodness for the magnet schools. I went to AUM while there, loved it, loved it, loved it! I did my practicum in Prattville high school: LOVED IT! But overall we weren't happy and decided to move to Panama City: BIG MISTAKE! Compared to Montgomery, Panama City has little to nothing to give, unless you are into the bar scene and love the beach, but even that becomes off limits to the residents during spring break. I am still working at a local high school, but I am seriously considering selling and moving back to the Montgomery area after retirement, next year. I think Prattville sounds very pretty. Thank you for the video!

Hey Britt, We saw you at Costco on last Friday. 😊 I wanted to talk but we already got out from Costco and you just got in. That's why 😞

Warning, Alabama has been INVADED by Illegal Aliens from Haiti. Prayers that the governor will call in the National Guard and have them marched directly to the Ocean.

Your videos are very informative by the way❤❤❤

Myself and my husband are moving to Alabama December 1 for a new job opportunity that my husband has taken on. I’ve been watching all of your videos and you mentioned if someone is looking to move to Alabama in a month a day or a year to contact you and I would love the opportunity to ask you some questions.

Montgomery is like most cities of its size. There are nice areas and really bad areas and in-between areas.

Coosa River. Not Cusa.

Thanks for this. I am so curious to know more about the history of these neighborhoods as so many were farms owned by Black families and then aggressively taken over by land developers. Is there any effort to mark this storied history?

Thanks for this. My grandparents fled Wetumpka with the great migration in the 1940's as terrorism against and lack of opportunities for Blacks is well documented. My grandfather was a sharecropper and that history is long lost, whereas my grandmother was from an Austin-Cain land-owning family and subsequently her kids moved back south in the 00's. We've recently uncovered a cemetery that included pre-Civil War family graves, i.e. graves from enslaved ancestors. I am so curious to get to know more about Black history in the area, as well as our connection to the white families, the Austins and the Cain family in Holtville, so please share any resources.

Very informative video. Thank you so much! Thinking of moving to the area from Kansas and instantly fell in love with Prattville

Sorta!

Ain't there a smaller chain of mountains just a little ways up sorta northeast? I forgot their name I'll be living in Montgomery with my fiance soon and just kinda wanna get into some wilderness. We're coming from Washington (originally from MS)

Hi Britt. What is your opinion on Park Lake subdivision? What neighborhood is that considered?

I wonder how delivery driving is here ?

This video was awesome . Thanks . Beautiful homes

Im moving to Prattville in the morning with my two children . We're visiting grandma . And i was nervous about this move , im hoping I be prosperous to maintain a home here . I wasnt sure if prattville was too slow or not .

Crooks scammers thieves rule and destroy citizens 🤔

No

1st thing you should know about moving to Montgomery is… DON'T DO IT! We have a horrible mayor, crime is out of control, beggars are everywhere, and MPD is severely under staffed.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Good job

Great video, Britt!

I lived there all my life, and we never heard a word about this alleged crater. Sounds like a PR hype to me.

Yeah it’s hard to video in the dark ! 😂

Cornholio!!!
