Thanks for the video. I finished school at UM in 1983 and had not been back to visit since. The red brick buildings are ever so charming. The downtown basically has not changed much. When I was there the only fast food were KFC and Diary Queen. The side walks, entrance arches, library building, Napier Hall etc... all bring back fond memories.
Thanks for visiting my home town. Please notice the brick streets and sidewalks on the University campus! The University quad (entrance from Highland St. ) is a lovely place to get out and take a stroll. The campus is really beautiful with old hardwood trees and several buildings that pre-date the Civil War. Also, take a drive or a stroll down to Flowerhill - the residence of the University president. Also, in Orr Park- which you drove through has a lovely area called Tinglewood- where a local artist made elaborate wood carvings into the cedar trees. Just a small tip: I think you guys might do well to research the towns that you visit- at least a little bit. Maybe stick around for an evening an visit a local establishment, talk to some locals, get a few tips on what to see, where to go. But thanks for the little tour of my town! I appreciate it!
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I’m so sorry to hear that. And, actually, Montevallo is an excellent place to live. The University of Montevallo has a very lively Fine Arts program- Art, Music, Theater- and is the home of the longest continuously running Theatre tradition in the United States- “College Night”.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I'm confused by this statement. Is it because you were far from home and out of time, or were you just misled to the nature and behavior of the locals. If it's the later, Montevallo is one of the most liberal towns in the south, by far. The college runs this town. It also has a decent sized South American population. In all the years I have spent here, I can count the racists things I've heard someone say on one hand and still have four fingers left over. I genuinely hope that's not what you meant and I certainly hope you didn't have a negative experience anywhere in the state.
Montevallo, which is Italian for the hill in the valley. Originally called Wilson's Hill after the first Settler, Jesse Wilson 1817. Thanks for visiting us.
The best way to describe setting foot on U of M Campus is that you can't believe that you are at a state school. The buildings are well kept and very beautiful and it has a wonderful private school feel along with a very accommodating staff..
Randy here, Julie has some Touring Suggestions........Helen , Georgia, Cleveland,GA. And Habersham County, GA. Retirement Area,Fieldale chicken processing there Also. Cornelia,GA in high Latino population. Gainesville Also. She thinks viewers would like to see those areas for Retirement. Enjoy ed your program Today, peace!
Unbelievable that you went to Montevallo,Ala and missed one of its most interesting assets! You need to read up on these towns you visit! You drove right past the school and Orr Park on the right! If you would have read up on it there are about 100 uniquely carved trees there! Very unique!!!
Great video grew up there. Why are you calling Montevallo a suburb of Birmingham? It's 33 miles south of the city limits. I guess you could call Homewood or the old Eastwood Mall( demolished, I hear)the suburbs. In your defense, I have heard that from other youtubers as well.
