Halloween Pictures!
We’ve been driving around recently and have noticed the lengths to which our neighbors will go to celebrate one of our favorite holidays, Halloween. First off, we went through Luverne recently and were impressed by some of their efforts. Then, on bike rides through the area, Stephen captured these gems. Props to all of our […]
History and Trick-or-Treating are Alive at Old Alabama Town!

Walking Downtown: Montgomery Ghost Tour
Regular readers of MML know that we’re interested in all things Halloween. So we were immediately interested to learn about Haunted Montgomery Tours, a relatively new entry to the city’s growing set of Halloween offerings. Although they normally offer tours on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 8:30, the staff were nice enough to set up […]
Haunted Houses 2014
I. On fear and the escape from our domestic lives We don’t quite understand fear. The things that make us afraid (i.e., a plane crash) are far less likely to kill us than our regular lives (i.e., driving a car). Also, the things that scare us are different than the things that induce dread. We […]
Montgomery Halloween Decorations 2013
Halloween is just around the corner (with a sharp knife and unsavory look in its eye), so our daily dog walk is getting a lot spookier. Since we want to encourage people to decorate their homes and pets for this favorite holiday, we decided to snap some pics of houses that stood out to us […]

Home decorations are a classic American way of celebrating Halloween. You want to spread the spirit to neighbors and passers-by, as well as create the right […]
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 […]
Halloween Idea Factory
We have already been clear that Halloween is our favorite holiday. We are willing to debate all takers about the superiority of Halloween in the pantheon of American festivals. 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 […]
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 […]
Halloween Stories
In an era of instant digital gratification and flashy and expensive CGI effects, the ancient art of storytelling seems sometimes to be teetering on extinction’s edge. The rituals of Halloween, so much about telling stories (“and he was hiding in her back seat ALL ALONG”) sometimes seem to be disappearing in favor of the pre-packaged […]
