HOW TO SPEAK SOUTHERN If you’re not from around here, some of the lingo you’ll read and hear at area restaurants may be confusing. Here’s a little dictionary to help decipher Southern food speak.

CUCOS MEXICAN CAFÉ n Cucos is the place to fill up on Tex-Mex standards. If you’re feeling famished, eat like a world leader by ordering the cozy eatery’s signature dish, the El Presidente. It includes cheese-smothered enchiladas, rice and refried black beans, crunchy chimichangas and a taco.

334-271-3528 • cucosmexicancafe.com

Meat & Three: Usually refers to more casual “home cooking” spots and means the menu offers a plate with your choice of one meat (fried chicken, country fried steak, fried catfish — sensing a pattern he e?) and three sides, usually Southern-style vegetables like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, squash casserole, creamed corn, collard greens and more. Often served with cornbread or a biscuit.

Grits: A creamy, savory porridge-like dish made from ground hominy and often embellished with cheese. Shrimp & Grits is a favorite Dixie dish.

WINTZELL’S OYSTER HOUSE n The signature dish lets you dig into four different variaties of oysters. The Oyster Sampler features 16 tender oysters, including four classic Rockefeller, four chargrilled, four Bienville (topped with shrimp, crab and parmesan) and four Monterey (topped with bacon, melty cheddar and spicy jalapenos). D J

Sweet Tea: The default setting when you order a glass of iced-tea down here. And sweet means S-W-E-E-T. Specify “unsweet” if you don’t want any sugar. Or ask for half-and-half for just a little sweetness.

CHRIS’ FAMOUS HOT DOGS n For a bite of Montgomery, get your hands around a hot dog from Chris’ Famous Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue. Get a taste of the fame with their signature dish, Chris’ Famous Hotdog.

It is a dog drenched in Chris’ Famous Chili Sauce and filled with mustard, onions and kraut.

TOP 5 FREE FAMILY FUN SPOTS There’s so much to do in Montgomery and quite a bit of it is yours for the taking. Check out these places that will entertain you and your family without requiring you to open your wallet.

Express Yourself

Located inside the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, ARTWORKS is an interactive, hands-on wonderland where the world of the visual arts becomes child’s play. Visitors are encouraged to touch the art in ARTWORKS and to explore the many computers with a variety of art-related software. A mezzanine features an assortment of art-related books, games and puzzles. Admission to MMFA and ARTWORKS is free, but a donation of any size is always appreciated.

Splish Splash

Take in the Alabama River’s natural beauty with a visit to the Riverwalk. But when the temperature heats up, so does the fun level, thanks to the Riverwalk Splash Pad. Parents can chill out while the kids cool off—running, jumping and, of course, splashing among rising and falling jets of water. D

Capital Idea

Alabama is a treasure trove of history—some of it tumultuous, all of it interesting—and you can get an up-close-and-personal experience with the state’s multi-faceted heritage by taking the free, guided tour of the State Capitol Building. Built in 1851, Alabama’s State Capitol Building is one of the only state capitols designated a National Historic Landmark and one of the oldest capitol buildings in the country. (And we think one of the most beautiful too!) The tour guides at the Capitol share a wealth of knowledge and insider information. D

Say Moo

Turn on the imagination with the interactive exhibits and displays at the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association’s MOOseum. Kids and adults alike will walk away with a fresh perspective on Alabama’s important agricultural heritage. D

Blast from the Past

Hands-on Gallery & Grandma's Attic, a hands-on gallery, located in the Museum of Alabama, gives children a chance to experience Alabama's past in an interactive environment. The gallery offers a unique hands-on area where children dress up in clothes from an earlier time and play with a variety of objects from the non-permanent education collection. It also features discovery boxes that aid children in exploring diffe ent topics in Alabama history such as World War II, American Indian pottery, quilt-making and Alabama's first ladies. Games, puzzles, photos, maps, toys, etc. stimulate children to learn by creating and playing. D

While you’re downtown, stop in Tucker Pecan Co. and enjoy hand-dipped ice cream cones for a dollar, sample pecans and shop for unique gifts.

GOOD NEIGHBORS

A quintessential Alabama “hometown,” the Town of Pike Road welcomes all to experience its well-blended mix of old and new.mix of old and new.

”

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.

CONNECTED & COMMUNITY-FOCUSED Situated in eastern Montgomery County, the Town of Pike Road is a perfect snapshot of small-town life, offering pastoral scenery and a mo e leisurely pace that feels a whole world away, yet is only minutes from all that the neighboring capital city offers. This combin tion gives the town a personality all its own, and residents invite everyone to come see what makes it special.

The Town of Pike Road is relatively young, just 25 years after its incorporation in 1997. As a growing municipality, the town offers verything a community needs – including a bright future. However, despite its youth as a municipality, the Town of Pike Road includes historic communities that have thrived in the area for over 200 years. Designated the fastest-growing municipality in Alabama for the past two decades, the town’s mission statement Planning for Progress while Maintaining Character is evident in both its peaceful, hometown feel and energetic, fresh ideas.

The town’s sprawling meadows and woodland glens are dotted with over 70 unique neighborhoods, each with its own personality and including some of the region’s oldest settlements. The population of nearly 10,000 residents is diverse, with citizens across the demographic spectrum calling the Town of Pike Road home.

EXPLORE THE RIVER REGION

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. Soon, they were joined by other families who did the same. A small but booming town sprouted up near the railroad at the intersection of the highly-traveled Pike and Meriwether Roads.

A PROSPEROUS PRESENT Its ability to attract such a variety of people is proof of its appeal. Yet, perhaps the town’s greatest 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, and as new businesses and new neighborhoods come to the area, this creates a harmonious mix of yesterday and today.

A PROMISING FUTURE Since its incorporation, the Town of Pike Road has expanded to a new crossroads — near the intersection of Pike Road and Vaughn Road, which is the location of the Town Hall facility and a variety of bustling businesses and restaurants. To ensure continued prosperity, the Town of Pike Road encourages citizen input and thoughtful planning to determine its direction and drive it there.

One major priority has now been realized: In December 2010, the town established a public school system. Over the past decade, Pike Road Schools has celebrated its first gradu ting class and grown to serve over 2,700 students on three campuses. The town is looking forward to the construction of a new high school on the horizon.

ART, AGRICULTURE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE

74

There is something for everyone in the Town of Pike Road, whether it’s getting your hands into the dirt or on to a paint brush. The ENHANCE initiative, created in the early days of the town to meet the interests expressed by the community, forms a roadmap for tailor-made quality of life programs. The work of volunteer-led groups like the Pike Road Arts Council and Agriculture & Stewardship Club provide opportunities for the community to connect, learn, and grow together.

other educational and agricultural amenities, as well as an amphitheater.

The Town of Pike Road is proud to provide a home for these interests with the recent creations of the Pike Road Arts Center on Wallahatchie Road and the Agriculture, Recreation & Performing Arts Park across town on Trotman Road. Amidst a constant array of art shows and workshops, the Pike Road Arts Council’s Plein Air Paint Out, an outdoor painting event hosted each October, brings together more artists than nearly any other in Alabama.

The Park includes an open-air arena and community education space, and construction continues on a multi-use ball field compl x. Future plans include

Also designed with community in mind, the Town of Pike Road Natural Trail System provides opportunities for walking, jogging, horseback riding, and trail cycling as it connects both historic communities and emerging neighborhoods. Portions of the Natural Trail currently run alongside Marler, Meriwether, and Wallahatchie Roads, with trailhead facilities providing parking, restrooms, and picnic space at both ends of Marler Road. Once completed, the Natural Trail will span over 30 miles as it highlights the beauty of the town’s rural landscapes.

Grandview YMCA

Between World War I and World War II, the communities of Millbrook, Coosada, and Robinson Springs, later referred to as the Tri-Community, began to evolve and grow, adding schools, churches and rail transportation.

Contributing to the population growth during this era were unfortunate outbreaks of diseases in the more populated city of Montgomery. As a result, Millbrook became a place to retreat during the long, hot summers. Soon, the seasonal population began to stay year round.

Memo rial Da y Obse rvance

With a rich heritage dating back to the 1700s, the Millbrook area, including Robinson Springs, Coosada, Deatsville and Elmore, was known for such prominent leaders as Bolling Hall, William Wyatt Bibb, John Archer Elmore and Benjamin Fitzpatrick. The first pioneer home built in p esent day Millbrook was known as Ellerslie, constructed in 1818 by Bolling Hall, a well-known statesman and planter of that time. Hall’s home still stands and is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

MONTGOMERY AND THE RIVER REGION

CALERA, AL

MAXWELL GUNTER MONTGOMERY Montgomery and Maxwell Air Force Base have always been close partners, and the capital city is proud to have a military institution of such stature as part of its community.

In 2015, the warm welcome and strong support that Montgomery has consistently provided to all who live and work at Maxwell earned the city a prestigious national award, the Altus Trophy.

The recognition is presented annually to the city that has shown the most “outstanding support to an Air Education and Training Command base,” and Montgomery was chosen from many other cities for the distinction.

The city has a long history of aviation excellence, starting back in 1910, when the famous “fathers of flight ” the Wright brothers, chose Montgomery as the spot for their first civilian flying school. T t same site would later become Maxwell Air Force Base.

Through the years, city leaders and everyday citizens have reached out to Maxwell by holding events like Military Appreciation Week and Military Night at Biscuits baseball games. In addition, The Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce includes a Military Support Council that regularly holds events like “Eggs and Issues,” breakfast meetings that allow military representatives and city and state leaders to gather and discuss important issues.
