MONTGOMERY

THINGS WE LOVE

Heritage Hotspots Walk in the footsteps of worldchanging events. Montgomery was the cradle of the Confederacy and, a century later, the impetus of the Civil Rights Movement. Warm Welcomes The friendly smiles of Montgomery people underscore the fact that manners matter here. Nightlife Pick up the pace with the excitement of The Alley, hub of the city’s entertainment district, right across from the Montgomery Convention Center. River Rides Roll on down the Alabama River aboard the city’s very own riverboat, The Harriott II.

Fabulous Firsts Montgomery was the site of the Wright Brothers’ first civilian flying school and boasted the first electric streetcar system in the country.

Park Places Take a walk, fly a kite or just relax with a book at one of Montgomery’s multiple green spaces like Blount Cultural Park or Vaughn Road Park.

Sweet Treats Get a mouthful of sugary goodness at Louisa’s Bakery tucked away in Old Cloverdale and indulge in a peanut butter cupcake.

Hot Dog! Take a bite of history at Chris’ Hot Dogs, a local favorite that’s been serving tasty dogs in a signature sauce since 1917.

Plain Nuts Enjoy Montgomery’s Tucker Pecans. They taste great right out of the shell but even better smothered in chocolate.

Crooner’s Caddy See the car in which country music superstar Hank Williams took his final ride at The Hank Williams Museum, home of the largest collection of Hank memorabilia found anywhere.

Shakespeare, Y’all Take in a play at one of the country’s most celebrated theatres, The Alabama Shakespeare Festival.

Otter Nonsense Go wild at The Montgomery Zoo, with hundreds of animal species. Don’t miss the tigers, the elephants or the playful otters.

Cheesy Chow Do your taste buds a favor and fill up on a good-n-greasy cheeseburger from Hamburger King downtown.

Pass the Biscuits Catch a Montgomery Biscuits baseball game and a flying biscuit too at historic Riverwalk Stadium.

World-Class Entertainment The capital city continually draws big-name performers and shows with major star appeal, including musicians like Elton John.

Taste OF MONTGOMERY SPOTLIGHT

Central

A sophisticated yet laid-back feeling permeates this downtown restaurant that’s in an old 1890’s grocery warehouse. Central’s menu is focused on fresh, regional products like produce, meats and Gulf seafood. Order the eatery’s signature dish, the Braised Duck Wontons. Tender, flavorful duck is tucked into crispy wontons and accented with a barbecue sauce made with Alabama peaches and Back Forty Beer Company’s Truckstop Honey Ale. These little pockets of heaven are served over fresh, crunchy slaw. D Executive Chef Leonardo Maurelli III 334-517-1155 • central129coosa.com

Garrett’s

Just minutes from The Shoppes at EastChase, Garrett’s restaurant delights diners with a menu that’s a mix of French, Creole and Asian flavors, and every dish is prepared with the best ingredients. Savor the delicious dishes offered by this fine dining establishment in an elegant environment with stellar service. But the real magic happens in the kitchen. Chef and owner Gary Garner showcases his culinary artistry with Garrett’s signature dish, Grilled Prawns with Yukon Gold Potatoes and Bordelaise Sauce. 334-396-9950 • garrettsartoffood.com

River Ridge Steakhouse

River Ridge Steakhouse is one of the only locally owned casual dining steakhouses in the River Region and features hand-cut premium Black Angus beef with locally sourced seafood and vegetables as well as house-made sides, sauces, dressings and desserts in a family friendly atmosphere.

The signature dish, Blackened Catfish on fried Gouda grit cake with spicy tomato gravy and collards, has become a favorite among locals. 334-567-8402

Conveniently located inside Embassy Suites, right next to the Visitor Center downtown, Montgomery Café specializes in American and Southern cuisine all served with a nice dollop of Southern hospitality.

The House

The Exchange

Wasabi

Sa Za Serious Italian Food

Tucked inside the The Renaissance Hotel downtown, The House is a sophisticated fine-dining experience with a diverse menu of creative dishes like the signature dish, Scallops and Oxtails. The House’s take on “surf and turf” pairs rich beef oxtails that have been slow braised in reduced veal stock until tender and fresh, buttery pan-seared scallops. The oxtails are served in a hardy veal glaze with carrots and leeks, while the caramelized scallops sitting on top of the oxtail provide a salty sweetness that makes this dish a must-try. D 334-481-5166 • houserestaurantmontgomery.com

Downtown in the Alley, Wasabi offers exceptional Japanese cuisine, including sushi that looks as good as it tastes. The signature dish is the 007 Roll, a deep-fried roll filled with spicy tuna and cool avocado.

You can also enjoy private dining or take advantage of catering services at Wasabi D 334-517-1555 • wasabimontgomery.com

12 UPCOMING EVENTS VISITINGMONTGOMERY.COM

With world-class wines, beer and cocktails all served up in a swanky atmosphere that includes a covered patio complete with live entertainment nightly, The Exchange at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa could stop right there and still be a great place to kick back and hang out. But wait… there’s more. They also offer a tasty menu to complement the bar with items like housebreaded Pecan Chicken Fingers with honey mustard, and the signature dish, Maryland Crab Cake Sliders, which are mini crab cakes served on snowflake rolls with Old Bay tartar sauce. D 334-481-5165 • houserestaurantmontgomery.com

Sa Za is a feast for the senses. Taste authentic Italian masterpieces like Eggs in Purgatory, Stuffed Anaheim Hot Peppers as well as both traditional and specialty pizzas. Join the crowd and try Sa Za’s angel hair pasta with Maine lobster meat, chopped shrimp and spinach in a chardonnay, exploded garlic and olive oil sauce. Or opt for their signature dish, Grandma’s Eggplant, which features thin slices of eggplant layered with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mint and grated Pecorino cheese. D 334-495-7292 • sazapizza.com

Kabuki

This Japanese Steakhouse features the popular hibachi grill tableside where Far Eastern favorites like fried rice and chicken teriyaki are expertly and entertainingly prepared.

The Chef’s Special Sauce is the finishing touch. You can also enjoy private dining or take advantage of catering services at Kabuki. 334-273-8885 • kabukimontgomery.com

Sinclair’s

This neighborhood favorite’s moderately priced menu offers soups, crisp salads, heaping helpings of pasta, juicy steaks and more, but the signature dish at Sinclair’s is the Bleu Cajun Filet, a tender, juicy filet mignon, cooked to order and seared with Cajun seasonings and finished in the oven to melt the bleu cheese crumbles on top. It comes with a choice of two sides. Enjoy this delight at one of two Sinclair’s locations in the city: in the heart of Old Cloverdale or in East Montgomery on Vaughn Road. 334-271-7654 • sinclairsrestaurants.com

Martha’s Place

Get a plate full of Southern comfort food classics at Martha’s Place, a meat-and-three eatery that specializes in home cooking. Try the signature dish, Martha’s fried chicken.

And don’t forget the hot cornbread. 334-356-7165 • marthasplacebuffet.com

Dreamland

End your quest for the perfect ‘cue at Dreamland BBQ downtown, famous for its succulent ribs and delicious sauce.

Chris’ Hot Dogs

For a bite of Montgomery and a mouthful of history, grab a few napkins and get your hands around a hot dog from Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue. This legendary diner marked by the green-andwhite-striped awning opened on May 1, 1917. It’s now being run by the second and third generations of its founding family.

Chick-Fil-A

All white meat chicken coated in a crispy crust, a buttered bun and two tangy pickle slices equal the famous Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich, the restaurant’s signature dish. The ingredient list is basic, but the taste is not; that’s why it’s been a favorite for decades. Add a side of waffle fries and some ice-cold sweet-tart lemonade, and you’ve got a pretty perfect meal. Milkshakes (in seasonal flavors), wraps, salads, amazing chicken soup and the new spicy chicken sandwich mean there’s plenty more to choose from too, but the No. 1 seller is still the original chicken sandwich. D 334-293-4773 • chick-fil-a.com

Cucos

Mexican favorites served in a festive atmosphere are the hallmarks of a meal at Cuco’s. You can’t go wrong with the restaurant’s famous chimichangas or its signature dish, sizzling fajitas. Tender grilled chicken, steak, pork or shrimp is served with colorful bell peppers and onions all on a hot skillet. Refried beans, crisp lettuce and tomatoes, as well as cheese, sour cream and guacamole come with the dish. Wrap the meat, veggies and accompaniments in a warm flour tortilla and enjoy! 334-271-3528 • cucosmexicancafe.com

Mugshots

If you’re craving a burger so good it’s won multiple awards, then head over to the Mugshots Grill & Bar. Start things off with an order of tangy fried pickles. Then get ready for the main attraction, Mugshots’ signature dish: The Come-Back Burger, has seasoned beef patty rocked with A-1 Steak Sauce, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and the joint’s tangy homemade “come-back” sauce, served on a toasted bun with beer-battered fries. 334-277-1682 • mugshotsgrillandbar.com

THE TOWN OF PIKE ROAD GOOD NEIGHBORS A QUINTESSENTIAL ALABAMA “HOMETOWN,” THE TOWN OF PIKE ROAD WELCOMES ALL TO EXPERIENCE ITS WELL-BLENDED MIX OF OLD AND NEW.

Connected & Community-Focused Starting where Montgomery’s eastern side ends, the Town of Pike Road is a perfect snapshot of small-town life, offering pastoral scenery and a more leisurely pace that feels a whole world away, yet is only minutes from all that the capital city offers. This combination gives the town a personality all its own, and residents invite everyone to come see what makes it special.

The Town’s sprawling meadows and woodland glens are dotted with over 35 unique neighborhoods, each with its own personality and including some of the region’s oldest settlements. The population of approximately 5,400 residents is diverse, with citizens across the demographic spectrum calling the Town of Pike Road home.

The Town of Pike Road is somewhat new; it was incorporated as a municipality in 1997. But a thriving community has flourished in the area for over 175 years. The old and the new are inextricably intertwined in the Town of Pike Road. Today, the area is growing again, drawing new families, those looking for both the peaceful appeal of days gone by and the excitement of a reinvigorated town with fresh ideas.

A Proud Heritage

”

In 1815, the arrival of three families — the Marks, Mathews and the Meriwethers —marked the beginning of the Pike Road community. They took to the area’s fertile land and began farming and were joined by other families who did the same. Soon, a small but booming town sprouted up at the intersection of the highly traveled Pike and Meriwether Roads.

A Prosperous Present Our motto is ‘Welcome Home,’ these words exemplify the spirit of this town and the feeling we try to convey to everyone who comes here to visit or stay. Gordon Stone, Mayon, The Town of Pike Road

62 UPCOMING EVENTS VISITINGMONTGOMERY.COM

Its ability to attract such a variety of people is proof of its appeal, and perhaps the town’s biggest asset is its commitment to preserving the past while planning wisely for the future. Small family farms and equestrian facilities maintain the town’s ties to its agricultural roots, as new businesses and new neighborhoods come to the area, creating a harmonious mix of yesterday and today.

A PROMISING FUTURE Since its incorporation, the Town of Pike Road has come full circle and is at a new crossroads — near the intersection of Pike Road and Vaughn Road, which is the location of the new Town Hall facility. To ensure continued prosperity, the Town of Pike Road allows citizen input to determine its direction and drive it there. One major priority is now being realized. In December 2010, the town established a public school system, with the first school set to open in 2015. The town recently completed the first phase of its Natural Trail System that highlights the beauty of its rural landscape and connects neighbors, family and friends. Phase I is a four-mile stretch of multi-use trails for walking, running and biking. When complete, the system will have over 30 miles of trails and form a loop around the town. Visit pikeroad.us for more details.

The Name “Pike Road” The original Pike Road community, and then the Town of Pike Road, took its name from one of two major thoroughfares in the area, Pike Road. The road got its name from the toll or “pike” that travelers had to pay to use it.

SELMA THE OLD SOUTH WITH A NEW ATTITUDE

IN SELMA, HISTORY LIVES ON EVERY CORNER, AND WHILE THE CITY IS ANCHORED BY ITS PAST, IT’S FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE, CELEBRATING HERITAGE, ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND CULTURE WITH YOU. Civil War As a major manufacturer of military resources and munitions for the Confederate cause, Selma was at the center of some of the Civil War’s most contested struggles. Evidence of the role the city played in the Civil War can still be seen and felt today at several historic sites. The Old Depot Museum offers visitors a tour through the colorful past of Selma, with a particular focus on Selma’s place in the Civil War. A cameo of Elodie Todd Dawson, Abraham Lincoln’s sisterin-law and a rabid confederate, offers a poignant reminder that the Civil War split many families asunder. Confederate bills, many printed in Selma, recall “the lost cause” in all its frailty. Selma’s crucial role as one of the South’s largest munitions producers is highlighted with exhibits of shells and cannon balls that visitors can both see and touch. As a sister museum to Selma’s National Voting Rights Museum, the Slavery and Civil War Museum’s permanent and temporary

exhibits invite you to explore and reflect upon one of the most controversial and compelling periods of our country’s history. This museum offers, by appointment only, an educational perspective of the Civil War and slavery with provocative, yet balanced, displays, many of which are interactive. Serving as a Confederate Hospital, the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum was spared by Federal General J.H. Wilson when his troops ravished Selma in early April 1865. It is now home to the Art Lewis Collection of Documents and includes a pardon signed by President Abraham Lincoln just four days before his assassination. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Old Live Oak Cemetery tells multiple stories through its headstones and monuments, many of which mark the final resting place of Civil War soldiers. The Confederate Monument is in the cemetery’s Memorial Circle and honors fallen Confederate soldiers, including the 155 who were moved from other cemeteries to Old Live Oak. Many other prominent Selmians are interred at this beautiful spot as well.

Civil Rights After decades of oppression, it took years of peaceful protest in the face of violent opposition to finally achieve voting rights for African Americans. Much of the Civil Rights struggle took place in and around Selma, including one of its seminal moments, the Selma to Montgomery March. In 1965, hundreds of voting rights advocates, both black and white, set off on foot to Montgomery and the Capitol Building to take their grievances to Governor George Wallace’s doorstep. On March 7, 1965, 600 people marched toward Montgomery. After just six blocks, when they crossed the now infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge over the Alabama River, mounted deputies and state troopers dispatched by Governor Wallace attacked the group with nightsticks and tear gas, injuring dozens. The event came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.”

2013 EDITION

The violence stopped the marchers’ first attempt, but they would not be stopped for good. Two weeks later, under the protection of Alabama National Guardsmen and Army troops, a VISITOR GUIDE court-ordered limit of 300 marchers led by selmaalabama.com Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. set off again from Selma and marched along U.S. Hwy. 80 to the steps of the State Capitol. Soon after, President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act on August 6. In Selma, walk in the footsteps of the brave men and women who fought for equal rights by visiting historic sites including the Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail, the Selma Interpretive Center, the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the National Voting Rights Museum.

Architecture Much can be learned about the character and heritage of a place simply by looking at its architecture. This is certainly true in Selma; it is one of the few towns in the United States with so much impressive architectural variety in such a small area. Many of the over 1,200 historic structures you can observe boast architectural significance that go far beyond the stories of the families who lived in them. Indeed, the city’s homes, buildings, churches and other structures reveal its rich past in every arch, window, column and deep porch. Take the city’s Walking Tour to discover its multi-layered history as seen in its wide array of architectural styles.

Arts “Art for All” could be the motto of the Selma Art Guild, a local group that runs the city’s only permanent art gallery showcasing the talents of area artists. The Guild welcomes you to see and enjoy

paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography, fiber arts and more for free, as the gallery never charges admission. Art is also the focus of a dedicated group of volunteers using art to re-invigorate and revitalize the city and surrounding areas. Founded in 2003, ArtsRevive’s mission is to: “enhance community development in the greater historic Selma region through the development of arts, urban design and tourism while preserving the diverse cultural heritage of the region.” One of ArtsRevive’s major projects is the transformation of the old Carneal Auto building downtown into the ArtsRevive Center, a space for offices, art shows, art workshops and other community events.

PROUD PARTNERS

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE CONTRIBUTES MUCH TO MONTGOMERY, AND THE CAPITAL CITY WELCOMES MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THEIR FAMILIES TO THE COMMUNITY. A little over a century ago, man conquered the laws of gravity. In 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made the dream of flight a reality when their bi-plane soared above the sands in Kittyhawk, North Carolina, for 12 seconds, covering 120 feet. After many more flights going longer and farther, on March 26, 1910, the brothers established the nation’s first civilian flying school in Montgomery at Wright Field, and the first powered flight in Alabama took place. Though the Wright’s school lasted only a short time, it set the stage for exciting things to come in Montgomery, most notably the establishment of Maxwell Air Force Base at the very same place that witnessed the state’s first flight. In the early 1930s, the Army Air Corps Tactical School moved to Maxwell Field, and Montgomery became the country’s intellectual center for airpower education. Now, Air University at MaxwellGunter Air Force Base continues to educate tomorrow’s planners and leaders in air, space and cyberspace power for the Air Force, as well as other branches of the U.S. armed forces, federal government civilians and international organizations. Ever since Maxwell-Gunter AFB located to the capital city, a beneficial relationship has flourished, a true partnership that benefits those stationed at the base as well as Montgomery and River Region residents. Base personnel contribute to the local economy simply by being here — Maxwell-Gunter AFB has an estimated annual economic impact of approximately $1.5 billion on the River Region, and that number is growing. Most of them go a step further though,

donating their time and talents to give back to the community. Airmen stationed at the base routinely volunteer to staff local events, assist local charities, plant trees, tutor area students, hold and participate in blood drives, food drives, park and public school clean-up efforts and more. Also thanks to the presence of the base, Montgomery has grown to become a hub of military aviation advancements and information technology. Montgomery is happy to have the base and everyone associated with it here and shows its appreciation in various ways including the work of The Wright Flyers, an organization of The Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce dedicated to furthering the spirit of cooperation and support. Today, the relationship between Montgomery and Maxwell-Gunter AFB continues to grow and strengthen, benefitting both.
