Hyundai plant tours. A cruise up the Alabama River on our Harriett II sight seeing tour. Many public golf courses at very reasonable rates. In Cloverdale, many boutique restaurants and pubs. The weather. Bone chilling cold rarely happens here. The Performing Arts Center has world class entertainment all year around. Friendly people.

If you like rude drivers, road rage, the smell of skunk weed, panhandlers everywhere, and litter all over the place, then by all means come to Montgomery. The best 2 things to come out of Montgomery are I-65 and I-85. It's a dump.

I’m from Ireland and I only found out a few years ago that the city was named after an Irishman, Richard Montgomery, who had fought in the American Revolutionary War. 😃
