Letter From Pell City Mayor Bill Pruitt

Mayor of Pell City

Welcome to Pell City

we would rather live and raise a family. Whether it’s our beautiful Lake Logan Martin or our historic downtown, the excitement of our athletic complex, or our expanding retail and entertainment opportunities, the quality and dedication of our local educators or the caring warmth of our local churches, Pell City holds something special for everyone.

W

hen looking to relocate three decades ago, God led me to Pell City. And I just quit looking.

I couldn’t tell you exactly why, but it just felt right. A lot has changed since then, and while it might be difficult to reach a consensus on what makes Pell City the incredible community that it is, most will agree that there is nowhere else that

If you are lucky enough to live here, you probably already know what I mean. If you are here today as a visitor, I would like to welcome you to our wonderful community.

I hope that you can spare a little extra time to grab a bite, visit our beautiful lake, and get a taste of what makes Pell City so special.

If you’re running short on time, just ask a couple of folks. I’m sure they’ll be glad to tell you why calling Pell City home just feels right.

Sincerely, Bill Pruitt Mayor City of Pell City

What I love about Pell City is its small-town, everyone-looks-out-foreverybody, everyone’slike-family vibe. Some people think of the lake when they think about quality of life, or the splash pad or all the other amenities we offer in Pell City, it’s a combination of all of them. To me, quality of life is a familiar face.

Prior to Cogswell’s arrival, a group of railroad investors requested a town charter in 1887. Among the investors was the town’s namesake and Pell City Iron and Land Company owner, New Yorker George H. Pell. At the time, Pell City was a railroad junc-

Cogswell negotiated the $50,000 sale of the town’s property to Pell City Iron and Land Company who developed the land. Pell City was incorporated in 1891. But the Panic of 1893 threatened the town’s survival. Pell City Iron and Land Company was forced to close its doors, leaving the town nearly deserted.

Upon returning to Pell City for a visit 10 years after his initial arrival, Cogswell learned of Pell City’s failings and began efforts of revitaliza-

Although Avondale Mills no longer stands and the names and faces key to Pell City’s early days remain in the past, their legacies live on, thanks to a man who missed his train.

Helping preserve and celebrate the city’s history are an annual series of walking tours and a new museum.

tion. Cogswell and his wife, Lydia, purchased town acreage for $3,000.

He gave 150 acres to Pell City Manufacturing Company which later became Avondale Mills in 1919. The textile company served as the center of economic and social growth. Pell City continued to flourish beyond World War II. In 1956 the towns of Eden and Oak Ridge merged with Pell City, increasing the town’s population, and the construction of the Logan Martin Dam in 1964 led to the creation of Logan Martin Lake in 1965. The lake continues to bring recreation and seasonal tourism to the area.

Pell City Historic Walking Tours 30

In 2006 the historic Avondale Mills factory discontinued operations, and two years later the structure burned down in a fire. Pell City made headlines in November 2015

Work continues on an exhibit at the Museum of Pell City zens in connecting Pell City’ past to small town life in the 21st century.

Local volunteers lead tourists through historic downtown, opening windows to the city’s early roots. Volunteers give descriptions of the historical buildings along the tour route. Pell City joins other Alabama towns as participants in the Alabama Tourism Department’s annual walking tours. The tours take place in April and are free to the public.

Dedicated to the continuous preservation of the city’s historical legacy, the new Museum of Pell City is a hub for interactive learning experiences. The museum features the Pell City Works exhibit and the Making Alabama exhibit.

Pell City Works tells the story of the city’s humble beginnings and growth through grit and hard work in times of change and challenge.

Making Alabama focuses on the history of the state of Alabama and

Economic Development Pell City One of the fastest growing communities in Alabama

Pell City is a hub for industry, manufacturing and retail in St. Clair County and central Alabama.

“W

e have a great story to tell, and we cannot tell it enough,” said Don Smith, executive director of the St. Clair County Economic Development Council (EDC).

The St. Clair County EDC is the economic development organization for St. Clair County and its municipalities. It facilitates industrial, institutional, commercial and leadership development through-

out St. Clair County. The EDC works with multiple Chambers of Commerce and other partners to provide resources and manage all of the large industrial community programs and recently initiated a tourism program.

“Pell City Chamber of Commerce does an excellent job partnering with our local industries by hosting job fairs and promoting them as valuable employers in our community,” Smith said.

In addition to its industrial and manufacturing strengths, Pell City has a downtown business district, sports complex, Center for Education and Performing Arts, Logan Martin Lake and more. Logan Martin Lake is the home of the Logan Martin Lakefest and Boat Show.

The Live at Logan Martin concert event was presented by CEPA at the sports complex and attended by land and lake. The Bulls on the Lake Rodeo is an annual event also held at the sports complex.

She retired in 2006 from a 25 year career in Education. She taught Special Education for 18 years and was an administrator for the remainder. Karen retired from Pell City School System as Director of Special Services. During her teaching career she taught students from kindergarten through the college level.

She was honored as the highest earning Rookie in the history of our association. Since that time she has been named Realtor of the Year and continues to be a top producer.

35

“In the last decade, we have been a Top 10 fastest-growing county in Alabama, and I do not see that changing any time soon,” said Smith.

In addition to water features and outdoor activities, part of Pell City’s allure in attracting industry, manufacturing and retail is its convenient location, including its proximity to cities like Birmingham and Atlanta and their airports.

“Companies will be expanding this year, and we are expecting new manufacturing companies next year, as well as retail and other companies,” Smith said.

Pell City has a thriving downtown Business district

The Pell City Sports Complex features beautiful lakeside sports fields

36

When these companies expand and new companies locate to Pell City, more supporting businesses working in tandem with them are sure to follow suit.

“St. Clair County and Pell City specifically had 2020 circled as a banner year in retail and manufacturing announcements,” said Smith, “The pandemic delayed some and did away with others, but the fundamentals of Pell City and St. Clair are strong. People are investing in businesses.”

Pell City is in close proximity to Birmingham and Atlanta and their airports

of our Duran North campus to consolidate our 7th and 8th grade Jr. High School campuses into one,” Martin said. “This move will allow us to provide greater course offerings to our Jr. High students.”

The Pell City Library lence in serving as, “the destination for area residents looking for a place to learn, have fun or relax.”

Helping make that happen is Youth Librarian Jordan Rawson. In her 6th year, Rawson creates memory making moments through story time events and programs such as the Summer Reading Challenge.

“I love my job and working with kids of all ages,” said Rawson. “I’ve especially learned a lot from the teenagers. I often say, ‘When I grow up I want to be like them.’”

Helping those teenagers achieve their educational goals at the next level is Jefferson State Community College. Creating opportunities on

the St. Clair – Pell City Campus since the Fall of 2006, “Jeff State,” offers courses in subjects from art and music appreciation to biology and chemistry and varied interests in between. Giving the gifts of education and convenience, Jefferson State Community College says, “Here we offer you an opportunity to complete your general education courses closer to home.”

Establishing that firm foundation of home and community, Martin conveys they’re making strides in improvements on several schools throughout the Pell City School System. “We broke ground in May on the addition and renovation

Jefferson State Community College 46

Completing their move in 2016, the Pell City Library also maintains its standard of excellence. Whether you’re reserving study rooms, participating in one of their book clubs or attending a Wild ‘n’ Wonderful Wednesday event, Rawson and the Pell City Library team want to instill a passion for reading within students of all ages. “Libraries have evolved to where more of the community utilizes them and people of all backgrounds come together under one roof to interact. Libraries are a community’s cozy safe place,” Rawson said proudly. Initially Rawson wanted to be a teacher, but was called to the library to teach in a different capacity.

Educating those on the teaching and librarian trajectory, Jefferson State Community College partnered with Pell City High School (PCHS) to provide multiple dual enrollment opportunities as postsecondary educational resources.

Preparing students for life beyond the PCHS hallways, Martin says the Pell City School System started a Career Academies approach to their career tech programs and offer 14 distinct career pathways with certain subjects such as education, military science, performing and visual arts, construction/welding and manufacturing (to name a few). Spotlighting skillsets too, the Pell City School District has also partnered with the Iron Workers Institute, Alabama Craft Academy, St. Clair County Sheriff ’s Depart-

ment and a local pharmacist to provide work ready credential for Pell City’s students upon graduation from high school.

Emphasizing what a true gift education is, Rawson says focusing on students and families learning together is key. She exclaimed, “Read

and learn together. Teach them that learning is fun!”

Focused on its vision, “to pursue excellence one student at a time,” Martin said, “through the continued support of our community and a commitment to a successful future the Pell City School System’s

greatest days are ahead of us.”

The hardworking crew at Jefferson State concurs. They want students to excel in their education by encouraging them to “find your place at Jefferson State.”

Are you new to Pell City and need a new medical provider?

P

ell City Internal Family Medicine (PCIFM) has been established since 2012 providing high quality medical services to the community. With a team of dedicated physicians and staff, they are committed to offering services of family wellness care, women’s health, outpatient care, pediatric care, sports medicine, and Jotani aesthetics with their own added personalized touch of care.

Prisacaru and the other doctors on staff are more than happy to be a service to the community. Prisacaru agrees that prevention is a key to good health as well as being properly educated and that is what they are there to do. Not only provide medical attention but to inform.

“One of the best rewards of my job is seeing new patients and them telling

Dr. Ilinca Prisacaru do for staff as well as we get through this pandemic. Stay positive, have great communication, be open to suggestions, and function as a big family. My advice goes as follows: Make informed decisions, do not lose hope, and to stay positive because better days are coming.”

Pell City Internal Family Medicine “PCIFM is beneficial to the community because I think it still keeps the profile of a small town doctor’s office with the incorporation of up to date technology for quick and precise diagnosis. I believe what makes us unique is the relationships that we develop with our patients.

We believe firmly in one on one interactions, and spending time approaching patient needs individually,” said Dr. Ilinca Prisacaru, one of the owners of PCIFM, and primary care and women’s health physician.

Moving to a new state or city is a big step and a lot can be placed on the back burner when it comes to getting settled in, but one’s health should not be one of those things. One of the keys to having good health is having a good physician to help be a guide, provide preventative care and help offer a better quality of life no matter what is going on.

me that they are here based on a referral from someone that comes to me or the practice. As well as how I changed and made a difference in the lives of family members and friends in the past and currently. However, the best reward is simply hearing my patients say thank you. That truly means a lot to me.”

Since PCIFM’s recent move, Prisacaru says that they are blessed to continue to grow day by day, as well as happy how the move made things a lot easier to coordinate care. Then there is Dr. Prisacaru herself who says that Pell City to her feels like a second home. She mentioned that since being in the area she has established great relationships and people in the community treat her like family.

“A lot is going on around us but I believe it is important to stay positive and keep the morale up, and that is what we try to

Complete Health is another choice to aid medical needs. Formerly known as Northside Medical Associates it continues to provide the same services of primary care, diagnostics, imaging, weight loss management, a pharmacy, urgent care, botox, and plenty of other services.

Tourism It’s the Gateway to Logan Martin Lake and so much more!

P

ell City is known as the Gateway to Logan Martin Lake, so it should come as no surprise that the lake drives tourism for the city.

Nature-based tourism is a significant industry for the economy of St. Clair County, as a whole. Even prior to the pandemic, people began reinvesting in the outdoors and in their communities.

In addition to tourists, Logan Martin serves as a refuge for the Pell City community. Whether one enjoys boating and visiting Pirate Island, eating at one of the 13 restaurants on the water last summer, or planting one’s feet in the sand at Pell City’s Lakeside Park or Logan Martin Dam Park, the lake has something to offer everyone.

Rock climbing at Horse Pens 40 brought more than 35,000 people into the park. The Sports Complex also hosts the Bulls on the Lake Rodeo every year.

In addition to Pell City’s opportunities to connect with nature, Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve is a 400+ acre Forever Wild property located in Springville with nearly 30 miles of trails. Horse Pens 40 is a nature park in Steele that has become an international destination for rock climbers.

Other attractions in the Pell City area include the Mustang Museum of America in Odenville, Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, CMP Marksmanship Park in Talladega and the Talladega Superspeedway.

Blair Goodgame, Tourism Coordinator for the St. Clair County Economic Development Council, explained the effect these activities and events can have on the area, “The people who attend are staying in our hotels and eating at our restaurants, and it is an opportunity to be hospitable and attract people and businesses to our region.”

Goodgame has spent the majority of her life in St. Clair County and was a small business owner in St. Clair County prior to joining the EDC.

There is a welcoming spirit and people have a deep passion for the outdoors and what it means to be friendly, good neighbors,” said Goodgame.

The tourism program for the EDC recently launched its “Visit St. Clair” brand, including a new website. Currently, the website only displays upcoming events, but more features and details will be added.

Goodgame summarized, “Tourism increases our tax base, renews

downtowns as tourist centers and creates and supports jobs in manufacturing, retail and various other sectors. Tourism is here to strengthen community bonds.”

in Pell City is 1.4 million dollars for four beds and five baths in a 3,575 sq. ft. house on nearly two acres on the lake. A house with four beds and four and a half baths in 3,316 sq. ft. on nearly half an acre minutes away from the lake is currently listed for $349,900.

As one glance at a real estate guide or website can prove, there are many options available for a range of budgets and needs. If you can decide in advance what you are looking for—or trying to avoid— your realtor can save you time, travel and money by focusing on the scope of your ideal home that will fit within your budget.

One of Pell City’s neighborhoods may be just the right fit for you.

ing those in their community for Christmas since 2012.

However, the organization decided for the first time to use Halloween as a way to prepare for the upcoming holiday season.

Over the weekend, Toys for Kidz hosted its Haunt Trail that included spooky decor, monsters and a hay ride as a fun way to enjoy Halloween. All of the money made went directly to Ragland Toys for Kidz.

More than 400 people visited the Haunt Trail, while about $4,000 was raised for the Toys for Kidz program.

The non-profit organization was started by Angel Davis as a way to give children in the area Christmas presents who otherwise would receive little to nothing. In previous years, the organization relied solely on sponsors to donate presents to the cause.

According to Davis, they had their biggest year ever in 2020 because of COVID-19, however, it also caused the program to have less sponsors.

ALLADEGA — The question wasn’t whether George Mills, a 100-year-old World War II veteran and Purple Heart recipient, could handle the track at the Talladega Superspeedway.

But, could the Superspeedway handle the former Army sergeant?

When asked if the pace car went fast enough, Mills shot back, “Almost. He was about ready to open it up.”

They went only 120 miles per hour Thursday afternoon, which is probably a lot safer than driving a Ford Model T over a frozen section of the Tennessee River.

Mills did that back in his hometown of Decatur in 1940.

“A lot different,” Mills said. “The ice cracks, you’re gone.”

Library director Vicki Harkins said the event was the first scheduled event since last year.

"It was our first program after COVID, and Susan Zurendawas so informative," she said. "I did not realize the history and genealogy that was contained in so much of the relationships about cousins and family."

Zurenda's next stop on her tour will be Lexington, Ky.

Zurenda read aloud from her novel and answered questions asked by those in attendance.

She said her visits to both libraries were enjoyable for her, and she was well received.
