    My wife and I were married in Mentone almost 18 years ago and bought a cabin here three weeks ago. I watched this video at 5 a.m. this morning on the screen porch of the cabin as I drank my coffee and listen to the rain fall. I'm more convinced than ever that Mentone is one of the best decisions we've ever made. Thank you for telling this wonderful story so beautifully and so professionally.

    My husband and our best friends are visiting Mentone for the first time this coming weekend (June 2020) I am beside myself with excitement!!!! I have a feeling I won't want to leave. Fingers crossed I can talk my husband into making my dreams come true if I live it like I think I will 🤞

    "Old grievances". That's a strange way to say slavery. I did enjoy the history of my hometown area.

    Nothing has changed about our roads, they still suck.

      It's that way all over Alabama unless you live in a rich man's or Politicians neighborhood. What a shame.

    I enjoyed about 4/5ths of this, then it sorta went self serving and pat-on-the-back for a few local politicians. What the area attracts is folks that love beautiful scenery (good) and hippies with drug problems (bad) that you are scared to leave your children around. The last time I went looking at the water holes/swimming places, the areas smelled like pot, the places had broken alcohol bottles strewn about and the language was vulgar. It wasn't the same family friendly places I remembered 40-50 years ago.

      That problem has always been here. Nobody has really cared about it until now.

      Yeah , some people just do not care about the places they go too . I'm taking about the trash they leave . I use to smoke pot so I can't talk about them. I grow up on the Locust Fork River in Blount County Alabama and spent a many a day in that old river. I sure do miss it. I was taught to leave it as you found it but I cleaned up the banks of the old , Winding Hole a lot of times were people had left their trash . Some time's I would find money, pot an beer😊
