That Small Town Feeling
Mayor Strange recently said Montgomery was on track to become Alabama’s largest city. Evidently, we’re 4,000 people away from passing Birmingham, which is shrinking. Demographics aside, Montgomery does feel bigger — especially this time of year, with the legislature in session and the corresponding increase in people having business lunches, nice dinners out and after-work […]
Late Fall Schedule
We’ve been doing Midtown Montgomery for a couple of years now, and we regularly talk about how much we enjoy the time of year both before and after Halloween. We’ve talked about our favorite haunted houses, the Haunted Hearse tour, and the many other virtues of late fall. This year, we are reflecting on the […]
Leroy Lounge

Leroy may be the “mostest horse that ever was,” but although their online logo is of a horse (and a horseshoe and a crown), there’s no physical sign or anything on the actual building to designate Montgomery’s now-open super-cool El Rey […]

Still, some of you out there may be scrambling for ideas during this exciting time. We’re here to help. This Halloween you could: Ride the Harriott […]

So […]
Upcoming Fall Fun
Looking for something to do, but tired of researching to indulge your morbid curiosity about the two tired old folks duking it out in the Alabama Governor’s race? Convinced in some sort of deeply buried sliver of your soul that there might be more to life than consumption of a weekly slate of college football […]
El Rey Burrito Lounge
We love El Rey (1031 E. Fairview Ave). We love the giant just-salty-enough bowls of guacamole, the tremendous array of vegetarian options, and the thoughtful attention to buying local and sustainable produce, meats, and seafood. Also there’s the massive beer list (though we’re not big high gravity beer snobs), the delicious sangria, and the margaritas […]
