Writing for MML
More than eight years! Crazy! We started at the end of April 2010 with a post about Tomatino’s. That restaurant is now in a new location, but makes delicious pizza! And you can get coffee there at Cafe Louisa too! Some of the original writers from eight years ago are still with us and going […]
Looking Inside Midtown
Midtown Montgomery, you should know that I spent the weekend poking around inside your homes. And it wasn’t just me – I was accompanied by a whole team – two, sometimes three, men of taste and distinction. We were looking at houses for sale, as one of them (a relative) is considering moving to town […]
A Conversation with Danny Davidson, Costume Designer at the Cloverdale Playhouse
“As we work we must seek not for self-expression or for performance for its own sake, but only to establish the dramatist’s intention, knowing that when we have succeeded in doing so audiences will say to themselves, not, This is beautiful, This is charming, This is splendid, but–This is true.” – Robert Edmond Jones In […]
Getting Dirty
There is something about spring that makes even a city girl want to dig in the dirt. I grew up in the country, and we grew most of our own vegetables, freezing and canning them for winter. When my husband and I moved to Midtown, we moved into a house with a ton of beautiful […]

New Year Wishes for 2012
Last year was our first New Year’s Eve at Midtown Montgomery Living. As the new year dawned, we wrote about 11 wishes that we had for Montgomery for the year 2011. Before we move on to our 12 wishes for 2012, we thought it would be fun to look back at the previous year (and […]
A Farmers Market Chrismas
It’s been a while since the farmer’s market out on Coliseum closed down for regular business. You know the place — out there by Garrett Coliseum, out where they have the state fair. To be honest, we never really went out there anyway. We get a great CSA from Red Root Farms, and it was […]
Backstage at the Playhouse with Morris Dees & Greg Thornton
“It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance . . . and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.” – Henry James What was it that got you interested in theatre in the first place? Morris Dees, President of the Cloverdale Playhouse Board of Directors : […]
The Season for Giving
There’s a lot of talk about charity around the holidays, and a lot of giving happens right before the end of the year. We’d like to think that some of that isn’t just for tax purposes. Really, charity and compassion ought to be year-round pastimes. But there’s still something nice about creating a holiday glow […]
