Fitzgerald Fun
This weekend’s going to be hopping over at Montgomery’s own Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum. First, we’ve got Yoga With Zelda on Saturday – it’s a $10 donation to the museum to get your bliss on with the staff of Montgomery’s Yoga Wellness Center. That class is from 4:30-5:45, and you can expect to leave […]
Fitzgerald Museum Celebrates Hometown Celebrities
Of all the cultural treasurers we find in Midtown Montgomery, perhaps the most unique is the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum located at 919 Felder Avenue in Old Cloverdale. Founded in 1988, it is world’s only museum dedicated to this unusual couple. Scott and Zelda lived in this house when they returned to Zelda’s hometown […]
Julian McPhillips
The first thing you notice when you walk into the old house on South Perry Street is that there’s some great art on the walls of the McPhillips-Shinbaum law firm. It’s historic and welcoming, but they’re busy, fielding calls and meeting with clients, and there in the waiting area is a small table with three […]
Private Lives
Private Lives, the last play of the Cloverdale Playhouse’s 2018 season, is a fascinating experiment. The play suggests a hypothesis about what might happen if you were trapped an audience in a room with four loathsome screaming monsters for two hours. The four monsters are all themselves trapped in webs of relationships with one another, […]
The New York Times Visits Montgomery: A Conversation
Among a certain set, the news has been omnipresent: The New York Times sent a writer to our city, and she wrote it up, publishing her travelogue on Monday. The piece, which can be read here, sparked considerable conversation online (and presumably in non-digital spaces too), most of it something like WSFA’s localization by a […]

The Cottage Hill Candlelight Tour will be this Sunday, from 2-6. Every year, the event draws hundreds of people to the historic neighborhood, and […]
What To Do With the Rest of Your Spring
We’re past the midway point of April, and although there was a nice chill in the air this morning, we all know that the Death Heat™ is looming, turning a potentially lovely Alabama spring into a horrific science experiment. At that point, we will all either panic and scramble for air conditioning or trudge through […]
Great Gatsby: Alabama Shakespeare Festival
Montgomery has an ongoing affinity for F. Scott Fitzgerald, who lived here too briefly for us to lay much claim to his literary genius. But we do claim as a native his tortured wife, Zelda, and celebrate the life they lived together here (and elsewhere) creating enduring works of art. So it’s appropriate that Montgomery […]
Talking about Writing: The Playhouse Page to Stage Series Premiere
“If he had one wish, it would be to spend 18 hours a day writing for the next 100,000 years. If that were granted, he might scratch the surface of all the things he wants to write.” -Evan Guilford-Blake Sometime last fall, I believe it was, we were chatting at the Playhouse about a new […]
