THE FORGOTTEN LANDMARK, DON'T MISS IT!!…read more The Montgomery Union Station and Trainshed is a historic building that tends to fall in the shadow of all of the great historical buildings and monuments in the city. However, I really think that it deserves to be mentioned along with the city's other landmarks as it is a truly beautiful building. This train station was first opened in 1898 and saw its last passenger in 1979. It has had a number of tenants since that time and is now the home of the Montgomery Area Visitor Center, and a number of other commercial tenants including a Thai restaurant with a very clever name: Railroad Thai. Several passenger trains used the station until the 50's and 60's when service began to decrease. It wasn't until 1973 that this building was placed on the historic registry and it took another three years for it to be recognized as a historic landmark. This building is located at 300 Water Street, (along the Riverwalk), just steps away from the Alabama River. Before you dart into the Visitor's Center to quickly grab information, take a long look at this building from every angle. As you face the building, you will have a great view of the approaching train, (which seems to run about every 20 minutes), from the left side of the building. You also get a great view of the shed from this side. Now go across the street to the hotel parking lot and take it ALL in. You will then want to come back over and focus on the details. Once you enter the Visitor's Center, look up down and all around. Check out the architectural details and the stained glass window. Look at that floor! Cool Huh? Wait a minute!! You forgot to walk outside to experience the cool and shade of the shed. You will notice an old yellow electric streetcar that rests behind gates. The city's streetcars were discontinued in 1936 in favor of buses. This shed the perfect space to have private and community events because there are restrooms outside and it provides great privacy. During the weekend that we visited, firemen were using the space for a cooking challenge and it was also being used to escape the heat, rest a bit and grab something to eat. This is one of the city's landmarks that is not to be missed so make sure that you take time to enjoy it when visiting!

As you approach, you are greeted with a large wooden door that's quite heavy to pull open. Security is quick and courteous. After we received wristbands, we were orientated on the history of the building and grounds. Points of interest include the room where the 7 state leaders met to vote for secession from the Union and the room where Jefferson Davis was elected President of the Confederacy. The seemingly floating cantilevered stairs leading to these rooms were designed and engineered by a former slave. The gift shop is large with a wonderful collection of Alabama pottery, jewelry, housewares, food items, and more. Bathrooms are clean and well kept.

Earlier the day before we drove past this on a bus and our driver pointed it out to us. Our driver was more informative than anyone else I met in Montgomery. He was the one that informed us all that this is not where this house was originally and that it was moved to the current location. I honestly did learn something while visiting. I always thought the capital of the Confederacy was in Richmond, VA. I never knew that the first capital was in Montgomery. Almost like it was something not taught. The house was beautiful, even with all its baggage that comes with it. Well maintained and preserved. History, whether you want to acknowledge it or not, is still part of the fabric of time.

Parking is all pretty close to the stadium, entry is pretty quick and painless, concessions are not bad, restrooms were decent, and the view from any seat in the house is great. There were lines like you have at all big events, but they all moved much quicker than expected. My only knock is that the seats are terribly uncomfortable to be on for a whole game, so def bring a thick pad or a stadium chair to sit on. Every staff member from parking, to gates, to police officers, to concessions, were all outstanding.

They have the potential for a great city. There are two military bases (both small but nice). They have history. There's the potential for southern charm. And yet the criminal element is taking over. Just last weekend alone, we had 4 homicides. And it's been an ongoing problem. Theft is likewise a problem with businesses, either boarding up or closing down. And the panhandling problem is crazy. They'll stop you on the side of the road and approach your car, and often leave trash behind. Add to that people tossing trash out of their cars or using other people's yards to dump their large throw away stuff. We are down by 200 police officers. We need a minimum of 400, but nobody wants to do the job and risk their lives only to see a criminal go through a revolving door. Our Mayor is in abstention most of the time, running off to give speeches at $15,000 a pop, and the City Council? Only one stays in touch with the public. The Mayor promised, when he went into his second term, that this would not be the Montgomery it used to be. I wasn't here for that, Montgomery. But from what i hear, it needs to come back. The schools are tanked, and they just hired the guy who was in charge of Selma's failing school system to be in charge here. Somehow, that doesn't provide much comfort. This city needs a fix. And I don't mean drugs. So no, I would not move here. I would even thing twice about visiting!
