Spirit of Freedom/Handy/All the Rest - Meet the 30 Year Rule?


We've seen several individuals blaming the City of Florence for both a downsized Independence Day celebration and the discontinuance of the Handy parade in the city. Things change.

We've mentioned the "30 Year Rule" before. Thirty years is roughly considered one generation. Look at almost any small business; look at popular clothing designers, and look at local celebrations. Most evolve or die out altogether in a span of 30 years.

Chicken & Egg Festival in Moulton? Dumpling Festival in Athens? Sam Phillips Festival in Florence? All are long gone. Let's just be happy that we have the W.C. Handy Festival to promote.

Have you seen the headlines? Portion of Roundabout Could Open in 14 Days? Then underneath in a smaller font: Same Portion of Roundabout Could Close in 15 Days?

  1. Comedy gold. We absolutely MUST have 24hr cams pointed at that roundabout!

    If someone will 'donate' the cams....I'm willing to do the install, provide the web development, hosting and all maintenance. Once a month I will make short run vids of the hijinks taking place.
