The Florence Hysterical Historical Show

 


Like historical homes? Like wrestling where it's all pretend, but some can't help but participate anyway? Then come to Florence, Alabama!

See a historical board turned into a historical commission right before your eyes. (Except it really didn't happen on Tuesday afternoon for whatever reason.) See David Carson call Brian Murphy everything he might really be plus some things that just sounded bad at the moment. (Neither one has the sense to retire to the shadows gracefully.)

In case you missed the comedy show known as a Florence City Council meeting, the entire question of our greatly maligned historical board was once again sidestepped. We'll have more on this later, but in the meantime, citizens would do well to again turn their thoughts to the long-proposed College Street Bridge. Stay tuned...

Several have contacted us about the ADA violations now ongoing at the Florence SportsPlex. PNS did an informative article, but the actual address of the complex would be helpful. It's 17700 County Road 2, also known as Coffee Road. 

We know that many have already filed a complaint against the city and the mayor, but a few more won't hurt. How long it will take to initiate any action, we have no idea. Good luck to those struggling to attend games this year.

  1. Savannah Highway, aka Hwy 20, is in dire need of 4-laning. We attended our granddaughter's softball game at the Sportsplex yesterday afternoon. It took us over 20 minutes to get from Mcfarland Park to the ballfield due to backed up traffic.

  2. Your comment made us think how difficult designations are for those who visit from other areas:

    City of Florence - Coffee Road
    Lauderdale County - County Road 2
    State of Alabama - Highway 20
    AL-TN area - Savannah Highway

  3. These are REAL ISSUES facing Florence and Lauderdale County. Where's the leadership?
