ATVs in Sheffield & Muscle Shoals


Our readers report illegal ATV usage in both Muscle Shoals and Sheffield...especially Sheffield, where the police have told citizens they are too busy to enforce traffic laws. What can you do?

Call your councilperson or, better yet, attend a council meeting. Take video to show to the authorities. This is a dangerous situation, and you may actually save someone's life by reporting the illegal vehicles.

Other readers have asked us the status of the Salvationist's grant from the City of Florence. We have heard nothing on how the city may have responded to the FFRF's complaint, but we will update if we do.

Several have also asked why the city has not established its own shelter for the homeless. We're not sure this is the best use of taxpayer funds. We already have Room in the Inn and fervently hope that everyone will support that project rather than the Salvation Army Church. 

Word on Mexico? None. We've been asked to publish what information we have, but it's all hearsay. Again we ask that anyone who has definite information about local funds being sent to Mexico to contact us. You will always remain anonymous. 



And Make a Mental Note to Give to Room in the Inn

  1. I don't know about local funds going to Mexico, but when I lived in Houston TX I watched a line of Hispanics go from check cashing window, over to Western Union and send most of their money back to Mexico! Also back in the 90s several Mexican men who worked at Casa Mexicana rented a house on Pasadena Ave in Muscle Shoals. One of those men who identified himself as Mario wrecked his car and ended upside down in my front yard! He was out of his car by the time we got outside,but was dazed so We brought him in the house, and called 911. He kept saying no policia, over and over. The first responders said when they took him to ER he had a wad of hundred dollar bills in his pocket. He did come by about a week after his wreck and pay for the damages to mine and my neighbors yard though.
