King Cotton in Alabama: A Brief History By Thomas W. Oliver For 130 Years, Alabama was a leading producer of cotton. But the crop was hard on the soil and hard on the people who grew it. King Cotton, as it turned out, was a tyrant.
On the night of June 18, 1954, Alabama Senator Albert Patterson left his law office in Phenix City and headed home. Patterson, then the Democratic nominee for state attorney general, never reached his destination. As he approached his car, parked in a downtown alley, he was shot. Stumbling from the alley, Patterson collapsed in front of a dress shop and died. His son, convinced that the murder was due to his father's involvement in running the gangsters out of Phenix City and Russell County, emb

Have you experienced that moment in a cemetery when the tombstone of a stranger stops you in your tracks? Etched in the stone is a story—tragic, humorous, heroic—a few words that illuminate a life. This page is dedicated to Alabama's "story" tombstones.

Coosa County Creeks Map/Guide Now Available Coosa County has two free flowing streams, Hatchet Creek and Weogufka Creek, which are very popular sites for canoe and kayak enthusiasts. However, many of those attempting to plan a float trip simply cannot find adequate information to plan a safe and enjoyable trip. Over the years numerous groups have underestimated float distances which resulted in them not reaching the take out location before dark. This has led to unnecessary time and resources being used by the Sheriff’s Office and rescue squads to find the stranded boaters. Also, many who float the creeks are simply unaware of the biodiversity of the creek, historical facts, and reference information needed for planning a successful float trip. In addition, almost no legal campsites existed and often floaters would camp overnight by trespassing.
Jessica Lacher-Feldman's eye-popping needlework. Lucky for me, my table at the craft fair was wedged between two stellar ladies, the seeds of what I hope will become the East Tuscaloosa Craft Cooperative, Mary Hussey (a.k.a. StitchhappyMama) and Jessica Lacher-Feldman, queen of wool, felting needles, trompe l'oeil, and eye-popping embroidery.

Ollie Irene, delicious and homegrown in Birmingham. Last night, we drove to Birmingham for dinner with my sister and brother-in-law (whom I will just call "BMW bike dude" for short in honor of his new tricycle) at a softly-opened new restaurant in Mountain Brook.

Ole Watermill Yet another location I have known for many years. I don’t remember the name of the watermill. I saw on the sign but this is on the east side of hwy 24 between Red Bay. Al. and Russellville. Al. The state has been building a new hwy 24 for many years now and they were nice enough to build a new bridge in 2009(I saw the date on the bridge) closer to the dam. They don’t have a road yet but Hey they got a bridge. I think that bridge in the background is the original but not the one in use for the past decade or two. I was upset about the new bridge because it blocks the view of the falls from the Hwy ,but I realized while I was standing on the new bridge sweating in the sun that it put me at a much closer view point to get this photo. This is one of those spots I have been wanting a photo of for a very long time. I use to see folks swimming here and playing in the water all the time. I hope someone still enjoys it.
