What do you do when a quiet deer hunt in Alabama turns into a face-to-face encounter with something massive… and not quite human? In this chilling episode, we talk with Mark “Plowboy” Green, a lifelong outdoorsman from the Foothills of Alabama, whose 2007 hunting trip near the Alabama River led to a moment that changed his life forever. From the swamps of Lowndes County to the eerie hills of “Creepy Mountain,” Mark recounts vivid sightings, inexplicable nighttime howls, and the moment he looked through his rifle scope and realized—he wasn't looking at a man.We explore secretive tracks, peanut butter gifts gone missing, and eerie encounters near Hollins Hunters Camp — where some say a man died from a heart attack, but others whisper about something much worse. This episode isn't just a retelling — it's an unraveling.You'll hear stories of glowing eyes in the woods, T-Rex-like roars, and the moment Mark realized the boogers might be visiting his own backyard. If you've ever wondered what's really moving out there in the southern woods — don't miss this one.Resources:Mark's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CedarCreekBottomsFarmsteadLifeWood Walkerz Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@woodwalkerzAlabama Bigfoot Website (no longer active but archived here): https://web.archive.org/web/20181202085405/http://www.alabamabigfoot.com/

Editor's note: This story includes a racial slur.I'm often asked about my favorite stories I've covered as a reporter. That's a hard question to answer after spending 35 years working in journalism, most of them as a local television reporter.Rarely does anyone ask about my hardest moments. That question brings to mind a very vivid memory. In December 2015, I stood in the middle of Plymouth Avenue in north Minneapolis facing the Minneapolis Police Department's 4th Precinct building, watching angry officers and defiant community members clash.Days earlier, police had shot and killed Jamar Clark, a 24-year-old Black man, during a confrontation. Community members wanted answers. Protesters blockaded the entrance to the 4th Precinct and the street outside.In front of me stood armed officers in riot helmets telling the crowd to disperse, and protesters screaming back and holding their ground. I saw the handcuffs come out and arrests happen. Police pulled down a “Black Lives Matter” banner from the building as they cleared out a spreading encampment. I could feel the distrust and rage between the mostly Black residents and mostly white officers.The shooting and its aftermath pushed Minnesota to the center of a painful national debate over police, people of color and deadly force. Months later, the Twin Cities would be torn again by another police shooting of a Black man, Philando Castile. In 2020 came George Floyd, killed by a Minneapolis police officer as he lay handcuffed and face down in the street, pleading that he couldn't breathe.‘You want me to go where? With who?'Nine years after witnessing the battle for the 4th Precinct, I got a message from a manager at MPR News, where I host a morning talk show. The bosses wanted me to travel to Montgomery, Ala., a city at the center of the slave trade and the Civil Rights Movement, with a contingent that included 4th Precinct officers. Reading the message, remembering what I witnessed in 2015 and the department's history of dysfunction and accusations of violence, I thought, “You want me to go where? With who? Why?” Turns out there was a good reason for the ask. Emerging from the killings of Clark and Castile, a small group, the Police and Black Men Project, had formed to talk about the roots of their distrust. They included Minneapolis police officers, Black and white, along with Black community members, leaders of nonprofits, government agencies and private businesses. Some were once incarcerated. All have strong opinions about law enforcement. Group members have met regularly the past eight years.They went to Montgomery in 2023 to tour museums and historical sites. They wanted to do something bigger in 2024, to go back to Alabama with a larger group and wider audience. They called MPR News.Nine years after Jamar Clark's killing, I was called again to witness police and Black men but in a very different way.We were invited to go along in December and record the group's private discussions as they processed what they had seen and heard at each of the tour stops. Our team included editor and producer Stephen Smith and freelance photographer Desmon Williams, who goes by “Dolo.”In their conversations, this group explored a significant part of American history, one many people still struggle to discuss and understand or even acknowledge.400 years of racial terror: Inside The Legacy MuseumWe arrived in Montgomery on a Tuesday afternoon after flying from Minneapolis to Atlanta and then renting SUVs for the two-hour drive. The weather was terrible. Torrential rain and dangerous driving conditions. I wondered if it was some sort of sign of what's to come. We gathered with the group — all men — for dinner, the first of many meals these men would share. I discovered some of them have known each other for years and others are still getting to know each other.  The next morning, the officers and community members filed out of a hotel in downtown Montgomery, all dressed the same — hooded sweatshirts with artwork on the back and the words “Black Men and Police Project” and “Peace” and “Alabama 2024.” On the back, there's an image of a handshake between a black and a white hand with the downtown Minneapolis skyline in the background.The design was created by teenagers in a life-skills mentoring program run by group member Jamil Jackson. It's called Change Equals Opportunity. Jackson is also head basketball coach at Minneapolis Camden High School and one of the founders of Freedom Fighters, which focuses on public safety.Throughout the next few days these sweatshirts would turn heads. Passersby would ask them questions about the Police and Black Men Project as the group walked down the street and waited in lines at restaurants and museums.On this day, our first stop is The Legacy Museum. This is a place to learn about 400 years of American history involving slavery, racial terrorism, legalized segregation and mass incarceration in a way that pulls you into the past. The museum sits on the site of a cotton warehouse where enslaved Black people were forced to work when the cotton economy drove American slavery. I can't bring my microphone in for what seems to me an excellent reason — to respect the solemnity of a museum dedicated to the memory of a national atrocity.Organized evilMoments after stepping into the first area of the exhibit space, you find yourself in darkness, standing in what looks, feels and sounds like the bottom of the ocean. You're introduced to the terrifying expanse of the Atlantic Ocean that more than 13 million Africans were forced to cross in slave ships. Nearly 2 million of them died in this Middle Passage.You're surrounded by underwater sculptures of human bodies, looking at what appears to be the heads, shoulders and arms of enslaved Africans who died after being chained together and then forced onto ships during the transatlantic slave trade. Many of them died from illnesses on the ships due to the horrific conditions. Their bodies were thrown in the ocean. The facial expressions portray horror and despair. As you look at them or try not to, you're hearing the sounds of waves.Later in the day in small group discussions, I listened to the officers and community members discuss what it was like to walk through this display. Several described the experience of feeling shook to the core as they took in this particular scene at the start of the tour. George Warzinik, a sergeant in the Minneapolis 4th Precinct, said later he was shocked by the organized evil of lynching.“My image was always this mob stormed the police station or something, the officers are overwhelmed or whatever, looked away. But there was a headline that said there's a lynching scheduled for tomorrow at 5 o'clock. This is cold calculated. This is, it's booked, it's scheduled, and the governor said he couldn't do anything about it. The governor!” said Warzinik.“We're not talking about the local police guy down there with two, two deputies who's overwhelmed. So, the kind of organizational part of it, you know, that's just really struck me.”As we continue to walk through the exhibit spaces, we move into a section about mass incarceration. You can sit down on a stool and pick up a phone and watch a video that depicts a prisoner welcoming your visit. Each person tells you about the conditions inside the prison and declares their innocence in a crime that landed them behind bars. These are stories told by real incarcerated people.It was after sitting through these video testimonials that I needed a break and went and sat in the women's restroom for a few minutes.‘Not a glimmer of hope'Later in the museum cafeteria filled with students, we met for lunch over delicious soul food to talk about what we've seen. Moving into small groups in a private room, I heard the men share their thoughts about what they'd seen.Like Warzinik, group leader Bill Doherty was struck by the banal efficiency of enslaving and terrorizing people. A retired University of Minnesota professor, his family foundation helped pay for the trip in 2024.“One of the things I got this time is that it takes organization and big systems to do this kind of evil. It's not just in the hearts of individuals,” he said. “I never knew how much the banking system was involved in, in slavery and the slave trade, but slaves were collateral for loans. So the banks were supporting the system by saying, ‘Yeah, you got 12 slaves. I'll lend you this money.' Oh my goodness,” he said.Sherman Patterson, vice president of a Minneapolis nonprofit called Lights On!, noted a quote on the wall about the loss of hope: “I was taught that there was hope after the grave. I lost all hope after I was sold to the South.”“Just think about that, what that's saying,” said Patterson. “That's just, not a glimmer of hope. That's just pure hell. And then the woman who was raped several times and had the kid by her master and she defended herself and killed him and then the justice system said you have no right to defend yourself,” said Patterson, one of the elders in this group.“I grew up in Savannah, Georgia,” he added. “I grew up in true segregation as a kid up until 1975 and saw those things. My grandmother was born in 1919 and sitting on a porch watching her be calling the nigger and all of this here. We could not go downtown in certain places because we were taught you can't, you better not, and this is what you do. So there is anger, but being with this group, this is why we're here. There's hope. There is hope and we're moving forward.”We stop next at the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. It's a 17-acre site overlooking the Alabama River and the city of Montgomery. On this river, tens of thousands of enslaved people were transported in chains to the slave market. Many, many thousands toiled in fields and factories up and down the Alabama River. And Montgomery was one of the largest slave-trading centers in the United States.‘One heart, and it bleeds the same color'On Day 2, we went to First Baptist Church on the edge of downtown Montgomery. It's a handsome red brick building with a bell tower and a large, round stained glass window. First Baptist was founded in 1867. It is one of the first Black churches in the Montgomery area and became one of the largest Black churches in the South. It played a huge role in the Civil Rights Movement. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, a close friend and associate of Martin Luther King Jr., was pastor.In the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 and 1956, First Baptist was a community organizing center. During the Freedom Rides of 1961, this church was besieged for a time by a huge white mob threatening to burn it down.I'd been looking forward to this visit. I grew up in Black Baptist churches in rural communities in southern Virginia. My grandparents raised me, and my grandfather was the pastor of several churches when I was a child. We were greeted in the parking lot by an older Black man, Deacon Emeritus Howard Davis, who reminded me of my grandfather. Davis, 81, was baptized at the church and spent his entire life there as an active member and leader. He greeted each of the men in the group with a smile and a handshake. He shared a bit of the history of the church and the role the building and the people who sat inside it played during the Civil Rights Movement.He described how his family taught him to stay away from white people, particularly white women and girls, and how to this day white women make him nervous. He understands the flip side of that and how white children were told to stay away from Black people and fear them, and how that affects how many of them view Black people today.He also spoke of the modern day challenges that Black people face. He took questions from men in the group and didn't hesitate to shake his head at times and admit he didn't have the answer. At one point one of the group members asked him to pray for them, and he did.Our next stop was Montgomery's former Greyhound Bus Station, now the Freedom Rides Museum. In 1961, teams of volunteers from the North and South challenged the Jim Crow practice of racially-segregated travel on buses and trains in the South. The Freedom Riders were mostly young people, Black and white. They were arrested for violating state and local segregation laws by riding together and ignoring the segregated seating. Local police in many southern towns let the Ku Klux Klan and other mobs attack them.Here, I recorded audio of an interview with community member Brantley Johnson. He reflected on what he saw and how he felt about going on this trip. Johnson said he ran with a gang in Minneapolis and ended up in prison. “When I got out, I promised my kids that I would never leave them again.” He's been part of regular meetings around the 4th Precinct and has been trying to work on ways to build trust between police officers and residents.“We have to meet them at their hardest moments, just like they have to meet us at our hardest moments,” he said of the police. “Because at the end of the day, we all have one heart, and it bleeds the same color, no matter what.”Later, we head to the Rosa Parks Museum on the campus of Troy University. Parks played a pivotal role in the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. She refused to give up her seat in the so-called “colored section” so that a white woman could have it. Parks was arrested for violating the local bus segregation law. In response, Montgomery's Black community boycotted the bus system for more than a year. The protest brought King, then a local pastor, to national prominence and led eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court declaring bus segregation unconstitutional.Our last two stops on this trip are a walking tour of downtown Montgomery and then the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. It's a profoundly moving 6-acre site in downtown Montgomery. Out of respect for the solemnity of this space, we've been asked not to record audio during the visit. The group splits into smaller groups and scatters in different directions. I follow a group up a hill to what's known as the lynching memorial. I've been there before. A year ago while attending a conference in Birmingham, my husband and I drove to Montgomery to visit The Legacy Museum and the memorial.  I found a monument with the name of a city very close to where I grew up, Danville, Va. The first name on the monument was of a man whose last name was Davis and I took a picture of it. Edward Davis, 11.03.1883. That's when he was lynched. I wonder if we're related.Courage to say ‘No'We return to Minneapolis, where the temperature is in single digits, a little colder than the 50s in Alabama.Not only is the weather different, the men appear different than they were when we gathered at the gate to board our flight days earlier.  That morning they were relaxed, even joking around with one another. Now the mood is more somber and the facial expressions appear to be more reflective. I sense a new confidence in them. To me they look like they are ready to approach future interactions with more knowledge and understanding, more empathy.At different points of the trip, many of the men said they were surprised by how much of the history of this country is not taught in schools. Some seemed troubled by how much they didn't know.The group disperses at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. I can tell everyone's eager to go home. I know I am. I want to be alone with my thoughts and there's a lot to think about.Like, how does one person change things? How does a small group bring change to a whole police department? How does a small group of community members bring change to a whole city?When I get home, I immediately start to unpack. Most of my souvenirs are clothes, including the navy blue T-shirt I bought at the Rosa Parks Museum. It has a small drawing of her face on the right sleeve and on the front there's one word followed by a period.It simply says “No.”Rosa Parks became famous for the moment in time when she'd had enough of racial segregation, injustice and violence. She said no. When I saw that shirt hanging on a wall in the museum gift shop I screamed “Yes!” I searched for my size and bought it.Back at home in St. Paul, I'm wondering why that shirt speaks to my heart in such a profound way? I think it's because it represents a response from a Black woman living at a time when America was at a breaking point. Much like I feel we are today. And the answer to the problem on that day on the bus for Rosa Parks, was a bold refusal to continue on the same path.It takes courage to say no when it's easier and safer to say yes.What I saw in each of the men I spent four days with in Montgomery was a bold refusal to continue on the same path.  Angela Davis' behind-the-scenes photos from Alabama Each brought curiosity to every site we visited. Each brought an understanding they have a lot to learn. Each sought a way to take something they learned in Montgomery back to Minneapolis and put it to work, taking law enforcement and community relations in a different direction.History has shown us where racial segregation and abuse of power lead. My question is this: What will you say when presented with circumstances that don't feel fair and equitable? What will you do when you are encouraged to go along to get along, even if those actions reinforce racism and division? Will you say “No”?Angela Davis hosts MPR News with Angela Davis, a weekday talk show that airs at 9 a.m. She's been a journalist for more than 30 years in the Twin Cities and across the country.

CLARKE COUNTY — For years, Aaron Tillman had one dream: to hunt an alligator. After eight years of trying, that dream finally became a reality when he was awarded a coveted hunting tag through a lottery system. "I've always wanted to hunt and have been trying to get a tag for eight years," Tillman shared. The long wait made the opportunity even sweeter, and he knew this was his chance to go after something extraordinary. On Aug. 8th, Tillman and his friend Jared Carter set out on the Alabama River in Clarke County with high hopes and a clear goal:...Article Link

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The gopher wood of Noah's Ark is unique. So far as is known, it grows only on the east bank of the Apalachicola River in a small area near Bristol Florida. The drift and pull of the Gulf Stream was calculated and could take an ark from Florida to Mount Ararat. The original area of Eden was much broader, E.E Callaway said, "It consisted of south Georgia and south Alabama, lying east of the Alabama River, and that part of west Florida lying between the Alabama line on the west and the Ochlockonee River on the east." Just as the River in the Bible, the Apalachicola river in Florida, is the only river in the world with four heads to flow through like Eden in the Bible. Dr. Narco Longo is an epic researcher/YouTube documentary filmmaker. His work consists of the findings in Florida that prove history wrong. He simply breaks down many topics that seem taboo but when later researched, have a lot of merit. His biggest insight is that the Garden of Eden could have potentially been where he lives today in Florida!

In this episode, we visit the Legacy Sites in Montgomery, Alabama, including the newly opened Freedom Monument Sculpture Park, a 17-acre site on the banks of the Alabama River. We interview their founder, the lawyer and civil rights hero, Bryan Stevenson, who says that a founding narrative of racial difference was created in America that “was like an infection. I believe the infection has spread. We've never treated that infection and the consequences of it are still with us today.” The US has never created cultural sites that have “motivated people to say, ‘never again can we tolerate racial bigotry, can we tolerate racial violence, can we tolerate the kind of indifference to these basic human rights'. So, that's what we're trying to achieve.” Hope and resilience inform the Legacy Sites. “I've always argued that hopelessness is the enemy of justice and that hope is an essential feature of what we do. I have to believe things I haven't seen,” Stevenson says. “I think we need an era of truth and justice, truth and reconciliation, truth and restoration, truth and repair,” Stevenson adds. “But we can't skip the truth-telling part.”

On March 7, 1965, approximately 600 activists embarked on a 54-mile journey from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, the state capital. Their march was a response to the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson, who had been fatally shot three weeks earlier by a state trooper while shielding his mother during a civil rights demonstration. Upon reaching the Edmund Pettus Bridge spanning the Alabama River, the activists encountered a hostile line of state troopers and deputies armed with tear gas and batons. Despite orders to retreat, they refused. In response, the officers attacked many of the protesters. This infamous event became known as "Bloody Sunday" and there were more marches. The Selma marches ultimately led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 on August 6, which ensured every American's right to register to vote. Learn more about your ad choices.

What is now known as Alabama and the environs of the Deep South, boast exceptional biodiversity and capture the imagination with its rich cultural and historical significance. It is the ancestral home of Cherokees, Choctaws, Muscogee or Creeks, and numerous lesser known Native nations and also the place where civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael planted the seeds of Black Power. Moreover, Dr. King famously marched from Selma to Montgomery, weaving along the Alabama River to manifest a dream of unity. Listen to rich stories of ecological restoration and preservation of places of civil rights history that is Alabama. In 2021, we spoke with Bill Finch of Alabama River Diversity Network and the Paint Rock Forest Research Center, and Phillip Howard, Project Manager of Civil Rights People and Places Initiative. They shared the vision and mission of these non-profit organizations dedicated to preserving and promoting the extraordinarily diverse natural and human heritage of this essential region. Bill Finch is the founding director of Paint Rock Forest Research Center [https://paintrock.org] and founding partner of the Alabama River Diversity Network [https://alabamarivernetwork.org]. Finch is author of Longleaf, Far As the Eye Can See, an exploration of the potential in North America's most diverse forest ecosystem. He is former conservation director for the Nature Conservancy's Alabama Chapter, and an award-winning writer on gardening, farming and environmental issues. Phillip Howard is Project Manager for The Conservation Fund's Civil Rights People and Places Initiative.

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss a fight that took place on the baseball diamond and a river boat brawl. There was a lot of fighting over the weekend and we're not even talking about the boxing match between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz or UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs Font.  Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and Cleveland Guardians third basemen Jose Ramirez got into a skirmish during a baseball game between the two teams. During the fracas, punches were thrown and one of the punches landed. In Montgomery Alabama, there was a huge brawl by a river boat where punches were thrown and chairs were swung.

Brawl breaks out at an Alabama River Boat, and should you give up a movie seat?

Mitch Reid is a native son of the Alabama Wiregrass, where he grew up fishing and hunting his home country in the headwaters of the Choctawhatchee River. After a military career with the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne, he came home to raise his family and continue to serve his nation by working with The Nature Conservancy to protect and restore the lands and waters of the place he loves the most in the world. Alabama is No. 1 in aquatic species diversity, with more than 4,000 known species. It is also No. 2 in the nation for species extinction. The time for action is right now. Huge projects are underway in Alabama, from restoration of coastal estuaries and marshes to protecting some of the most diverse hardwood forests and most biologically rich and intact rivers left on Earth. One of the most important watershed restorations in the U.S. is underway right here – reconnecting the mighty Alabama River and its thousands of miles of tributaries to the Gulf of Mexico – Gulf walleye, sturgeon, vast runs of mullet and other catadromous fish … they were all here, all the way up the Cahaba, the Coosa, the Tallapoosa. And they can be again.

The Nettie Quill was one of the most famous sternwheelers on the Alabama River. Constructed in 1886 in Wheeling, West Virginia, she operated between Mobile and Selma with her principal cargo being cotton and passengers. When the river was high enough the Nettie Quill made runs to Montgomery. The boat was owned by Captain John Quill and named for either his wife, Antoinette “Nettie” Hearin Quill or their daughter, who was also Antoninette, or “Nettie.” The John Quill was also a river steamboat and may have been named for Captain John's son, John.

Alabama Scenic River Trail Executive Director Andrew Szymanski and Alabama 650 Paddle Race Director Greg Wingo talk about the third annual event and how it has exposed Alabama's navigable fresh waterways as one of the best paddling destination in the nation. https://www.alabamascenicrivertrail.com/ https://www.alabamascenicrivertrail.com/calendar/great-alabama-650/ https://www.facebook.com/GreatAlabama650/ The "River Legend" Hunter Sullivan joins the outdoor reporters on this weeks TCUB Huntin' & Fishin' Report to talk about his summer on the lower end of the Alabama River and his crappie tournament this weekend from Mt. Vernon Landing. Perfect weather this weekend to get outdoors!! Details on this weeks CNB weekend weather forecast!!

To write about the waterways of Alabama is to wade through converging streams of fact and fiction, reality and lore, what’s actually true and what’s just a good story.Let me give you an example: a few weeks ago, on an oxbow of the Alabama River just downstream from its confluence, I swam past an abandoned film set. It’s a film set that was built to appear like a town once thriving and then run down. A stretch of houses halfway completed in order to appear halfway to ruin. Facades and porches finished and then weathered; floorboards unlaid and back doors never hung. The director of the film had come across the island while scouting for locations here in Elmore County, Alabama. There wasn’t anything on the island then. Or nothing manmade, anyway. So they built it, weathered it, and left behind a new old town on the island.The movie filmed here was Big Fish — a story of a son’s quest to parse the truth from the fiction of his father’s tales.The town is called Spectre; the town is called Jackson Lake Island.The island is privately owned but it’s open to the public and has become something of a tourist attraction since the film’s release. You can pay $3 and drive across the causeway to wander the film set. But it seems more popular as a recreation area. A place to camp, fish, boat, swim, or feed the herd of wild goats who have taken up residence on the island.On a Sunday in August, that herd of goats descended on every car to park at a campsite. Ours was no exception.We — me and Shaelyn and Ozzie, that eternally game and up-for-anything crew — made for a site on the far side of the island to spend the afternoon. After greeting the goats, I swam out into the channel. The water got deep quickly and I had to plunge earlier than I might have preferred, all things being equal. But you don’t go wild swimming on your own terms, so I plunged and dolphin kicked and came up paddling a good ways out into the channel. Early enough in the day that the water was still crisp, refreshing if not bracing. The water was like tea — a little tannin-y without feeling at all viscous or algal or gross.About halfway into the channel, I noticed what turned out to be a tree branch emerging from the water’s surface but which at first and second glance I’d mistaken for a water snake with its head raised. After a moment’s panic, I swam over to get a closer look.The branch was still connected to the rest of the tree, which must have fallen from the opposite bank. Winded from the swimming and treading, I tried to stand on the trunk but its angle proved too steep, its surface too slick to get any purchase. I slipped, barely avoiding a faceplant on the log. Had anyone been watching from the bank, the Benny Hill theme song might have come to mind.The felled tree was likely lingering damage from the tornado that touched down here last May. Another tree caved in the roof of the campground’s pavilion. The storm spared the film set, though. The feigned ruin still intact; the felled trees now submerged.While I’d been swimming, Shaelyn and Ozzie had been tracking the goats across the island. I swam back in and caught up with them and the three of us headed over to the film set.As we approached, a child was tossing a pair of shoes into the air, trying to snag them on a line stretched between two poles — the makeshift gateway to the fictional place. The boy couldn’t have been older than seven. He was immersed in his task. The shoes on the line, it’s a reference to the film. If you wandered through the forest and wound up in the town, they’d take your shoes and string them on the line. The grass was so soft here, who needed shoes? And if they’re gone, well, you couldn’t leave.Stories are seductive like that. Tell a good enough tale and you might never want to leave it.But this kid, he hadn’t tied his laces together. There was nothing to catch the line. He was just hucking his shoes into the air and watching them fall. After a few throws, though, he’d figured it out and after his successful throw, immediately took off.We did a lap of the one-street ghost town but I hung back a ways. I watched Ozzie and Shaelyn walk through these fictions made real. They peered up at the shoes — all those wishes to stay in the enchanted town — then crane their necks around the doorways of the abandoned homes. I was being visited by a memory I don’t think I’d ever before recollected. I’d been relying on Shaelyn’s memory of the film until it hit me: I’d seen this movie too. On a date; we’d rented it from Blockbuster. That was back in 2005, when Alabama existed in my mind hardly at all, what I did know came mostly from fictions, exaggerations. And now Blockbuster has long since closed and my life has taken shape here — a husband, a father, an itinerant documentarian — and less than an hour from this fictional world. Jackson Lake Island is just outside Millbrook. Elmore County. From there we headed for the county seat, Wetumpka. Wetumpka’s got a quaint little downtown, bordered on one side by the Coosa River, the other by a state highway that runs along a ridge. Halfway up that ridge stands an imposing white Victorian home, turreted and gabled.That house appears in the film, too. It’s the father’s home. In the driveway are branded signs letting you know that this is the house you’ve come to see but also informing you that you can’t park there.That afternoon on our way out to the next swimming spot, we drove by to catch a glimpse of the house. Halfway up the hill, I worried our little hatchback might not manage. It was a little hair-raising but the car prevailed.That ridge on which the Victorian home stands, that’s the result of what’s now called the Wetumpka Crater. Or the Wetumpka impact crater, if you want to get technical about it, which apparently not everyone does. The crater’s more than four miles in diameter, the impact dating back almost one hundred million years ago — way before Blockbuster. The horseshoe shape of the crater’s perimeter indicates to geologists that the asteroid hit at an oblique angle. Around the time that geologists were confirming the dating of the crater, the Auburn Astronomical society toured the crater and in their dispatch described the asteroid  impact as “Alabama's greatest natural disaster in the last 81.5 million years.” It’s massive, as far as craters go. And internationally recognized, as important old craters are.But when I mentioned the crater to a biology professor at Auburn University, he laughed. “That crater’s more famous outside the state than in,” he said. Point being that it’s sometimes hard to excite people about a crater from 81 million years ago if they only count the earth’s years in the thousands.Through the lowest point in that crater runs the Coosa River and along a patch of shoals just north of town sits Corn Creek Park. We parked and clambered down the bank to a sandy beach.We arrived at the river in the late afternoon, stayed til early evening. People were tubing, coming through on kayaks and canoes, their friends waiting on the shoreline with beers. The sun was setting, the water babbling. Bouquets of gloriously accented English and Spanish bloomed into the night and carried over the water.People will ask why you love Alabama and it’s clear they’ve never imagined Corn Creek Park at dusk.It’s lovely here. The place makes it easy to put out of mind what you see as you come into the park. You turn left off the state highway. To your right when you turn is one of the four state prisons in the county. More people are imprisoned here in Elmore County than in any other county in the state. Which means that, per capita, more people are imprisoned in Elmore County than in nearly any other county in the country. I can keep zooming out but I think you get the point.It got late. As we started packing up, another family with a child about Ozzie’s age arrived. We chatted about how much our children loved to swim, about how nice it was that our children loved to swim. I wondered about the stories we’d hand down to our children about this place, about their place in it. Foolish to think we’d have any great amount of control of what happens in their stories but we had chosen to set them here. It will be home for Ozzie in a way it never will for me.Even so, when I tell about Alabama, and especially when I tell Ozzie about Alabama, I want to emphasize the beauty, the love, the strangeness to be found here. But like all stories, that one is full of half-truths and exaggerations and convenient evasions — like the story just across the street, one of barbed wire, desperation and neglect, the vicious and punitive power wielded here, often against the most vulnerable.Why do you love Alabama? Easier to tell it like Big Fish. At the end, the father — the teller of all those tall tales — is terminally ill, bedridden. But he won’t abide dying in the ICU. So they carry him out and down to the banks of the river, where he turns into a catfish and swims off into the shoals of the Coosa River.It’s a good story. But on the walk back up the river bank after setting him in the water, you’ve got to pass an awful lot of barbed wire.. This is a public episode.

As seen on 60 Minutes, the Last Slave Ship, known as the Clotilda, is a mysterious story that can't be told in a hurry. As a matter of fact, it's taken 159 years to be told and is still not finished.It started with simple people living simple lives in their ‘own' African country, before being captured by a rival tribe, sold to a wealthy slave owner from America and forced to live in squalor on a two-month voyage across an unforgiving Atlantic Ocean.And despite a then 50-year-old federal law against importing Africans, Clotilda and its cargo of 110 ‘human beings' still dropped anchor at Mobile Bay on July 9, 1860…capping a gut-wrenching two-month plus voyage for those terrified captives. The Clotilda was burned and sunk in an Alabama River after bringing these slaves across the Atlantic in 1860. Two years ago, its remains were found. We had the honor of speaking with two descendants of slaves that were on that ship, as well as the captain's descendent who brought the slaves from Africa to Alabama. Darron Patterson is the descendent of the slave, Polle Allen, and Gary Lumbers is the descendent of the slave, Cudjo Lewis. Mike Foster is the descendent of Captain William Foster who built and sailed the ship. The three of them have come together in an unlikely friendship to make sure the story of the Clotilda, and the legacy of the 110 slaves on board, lives on forever.To learn more about this story and/or to make a donation please visit: https://theclotildastory.com/https://www.cudjolewisfamily.org/gallery Music Credit:Clotilda's on Fire by Shemekia CopelandTo stay connected with Better Place Project and for updates and behind the scenes info, please follow us on social mediaInstagram: @BetterPlaceProj  To follow Steve & Erin on Instagram:@SteveNorrisOfficial @ErinorrisFacebook: Facebook.com/BetterPlaceProjectPodcastTwitter: @BetterPlaceProjEmail: BetterPlaceProjectPodcast@gmail.com

This guy is an absolute pro at finding schooling fish and catching them. Hearing how he spends time on the water looking and not just fishing is advice we all could take. Lastly, we go to the Alabama River with Joe Dunn for a crappie report. It sounds like the water and weather have had a big effect on how and where Joe is catching fish!!!

8.5 Million SARS-COV-2 cases Worldwide, with 2,215,000 cases in the USA, 119,000 deaths and Baldwin County still must not be testing widely because our numbers remain incredibly low with neighboring Florida predicted as the new epicenter for infections. The movement that we have seen across the country in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement has led to protest across this country for weeks, clashes with law enforcement, looting, vandalism, arson, and the removal of public statues depicting Confederate “soldiers, statesmen, or collaborators”. Rayshard Brooks was killed this past week by Atlanta Police Officers resulting in said officers being charged and the Chief of Police resigning. Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and the State of Mississippi flag are all on the chopping block. We know how to get Mississippi to change, hold college football to ransom! Also portraits of former Speakers of the US House of Representatives have been taken down at the capital because of their affiliation at some point with “The Confederacy”. Former Governor Don Siegleman was in Fairhope last night at a book signing. We went and will fill you in. Please go check out the documentary “Atticus and the Architect” about the prosecution. Fairhope controversies continue, shocker. A new power plant, a new Baldwin County Jail, a new Justice Center in Bay Minette, all during a time of uncertain economic times. And if you want to throw a statue in the Alabama River we suggest Dr. J. Marion Sims, the father of gynecology who experimented on enslaved Americans without anesthesia; We’ll carry the feet, you get the head.

Coming off the 3rd stop of the ABT North, Chris and Miss Kay welcome in the wining team of Chris Brittain and Eric Springer to talk about their win. South Angler Justin Mott also joins us to talk about the hot and steamy Alabama River coming up this weekend!

In Episode 18 of the Profitable Powerhouse Properties Podcast, kicking off “Market Madness March,” your host Jonathan Cook interviews Kim Furlow, a Realtor with AHI Properties. They discuss the details of the Montgomery, AL property investment market, from its biggest industries, transportation, and cultural attractions.   Episode Highlights: Montgomery is a better market to buy in than Birmingham if cash flow is your priority. The median value in Montgomery is $120,000 with a median rent of $900. This gives you an income of about $11,000 per year, with under $1,000 in property taxes each year. Montgomery has the first North American Hyundai production facility that employs around 1,300 people and has an economic impact to the state of over $4 billion. Maxwell employs about 17,000 military, civil service, and contract personnel, with about 34,000 students going through there every year. These major employers mean housing demand is extremely high and makes Montgomery a great place to invest. Montgomery is within 600 miles of ⅓ of the entire United States population. It is centrally located to major interstates, an airport that accommodates 350,000 travelers each year, access to major rail systems, and the Alabama River giving you access to the port city of Mobile. Montgomery has a rich history and a lot of cultural sites including Martin Luther King Jr.’s home, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, and more. A large conference and recreation center is getting built in Montgomery, which will further expand development and construction. There has been an 8.5% increase in tourism in Montgomery in 2018 alone. $15.5 billion were spent in the tourism industry in Montgomery in 2015, before many of these developments even happened. There are also A class homes in the suburbs outside of Montgomery, in towns like Prattville. Just in the first 6 weeks of 2020, they’ve seen a 10% increase in rental properties in the Montgomery area.   3 Key Points: Montgomery has low taxes and high potential for cash flow, so it’s a great place to buy rental properties as an investor. People are more likely to stay in a city that has things to do and feels like a community in the way Montgomery does. Montgomery is at the point in its growth that Birmingham was at around 10 years ago, so now is the time to invest.   Tweetable Quotes: “We’re taking a lot of these historic homes & properties & renovating them, keeping the old touches & adding a contemporary flair, & folks want to be in those areas—walking distance to downtown, to a lot of these activities, the nightlife, it’s growing exponentially.” –Kim Furlow “When you add the Legacy Museum and other historic points of interest on top of the theatre and the baseball and this huge venue, you don’t have to drive to Birmingham or Atlanta.” –Kim Furlow   Resources Mentioned: Check out our website ahiproperties.com Check out Birmingham Insurance Group online or call them at (205) 616-1107 Buy, sell, and own investment properties the way the pros do it with www.roofstock.com Email Jonathan and Bryan at Podcast@AHIProperties.com Email Kim at kfurlow@ahiproperties.com

Show #485   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 28th May 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   HONDA E TO GET SIDE CAMERA MIRROR SYSTEM AS STANDARD "The new Honda E electric vehicle will be fitted with cameras instead of door mirrors on every variant, the Japanese manufacturer has confirmed. First revealed to the world in September 2017 as the Urban EV Concept, the E is a rear-wheel-drive electric hatchback designed to compete with the Renault Zoe. Unlike the Zoe, however, the brand new Honda will get retro styling and a high-tech cabin, as well as cutting-edge mirror technology." reports Motor1.com: "The so-called "Side Camera Mirror System" is similar to the virtual door mirrors seen on top-of-the-range versions of Audi’s new E-Tron electric SUV, and uses rear-facing cameras and small screens in the cabin to show drivers the view down the car’s flanks. In the case of the Honda, the cameras sit in housings just below the window line, with their images fed back to six-inch screens at either end of the dashboard. And the advantages don’t stop there. Honda also notes that the cameras are more aerodynamic than conventional mirrors, improving the car’s efficiency and range. And there are safety advantages, too, with a choice of "normal" or "wide" views available for the driver to select. The wide view is said to reduce blind spots by half, while even normal view provides a 10-percent improvement. Honda is also planning to integrate the reversing camera system with the mirrors, projecting guidelines on to the six-inch displays to help drivers maneuver. And to prevent the cameras becoming clouded by water or dirt, they will have specially designed housings that stop water droplets appearing on the lens, which will also feature a water-repellent coating."   https://www.motor1.com/news/351805/honda-e-side-cameras-standard/   NISSAN REVS UP EMOTION IN LATEST LEAF CAMPAIGN "Nissan North America is switching gears to convey the emotional experience of driving its Leaf Plus long-range electric car, rather than leaning too heavily on the vehicle's specs, in a new campaign featuring a driver who can fly through the air." says the industry website AdAge: "The campaign is the first featuring the Leaf Plus, which debuted at CES in January and began hitting showrooms in recent weeks. Since the Nissan Leaf launched in 2010, much of the marketing has focused on its features. As the Leaf continues its reign as the top-selling electric vehicle to date, despite sagging sales early this year and competition from the likes of Tesla, it is shifting to more of a storytelling approach. Short customer testimonial videos highlighting the vehicle’s features, such as one-pedal driving and driver assistance technology, are slated to post on social media."   https://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/nissan-revs-emotion-latest-leaf-campaign/2174271   NIO POSTPONES ITS ELECTRIC SEDAN "Chinese EV startup NIO has indefinitely delayed its upcoming electric sedan just six weeks after unveiling a concept version of the car at the Shanghai Auto Show" report The Verge website: "The news comes as the startup released unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2019, which show NIO lost $390 million as deliveries of its ES8 electric SUV dropped to 3,989 (down from 7,980 during the fourth quarter of 2018).' NIO had not previously set a ship date for the sedan, known as the ET7, but the company’s founder and CEO William Li said it is postponed during an investor call on Tuesday."   https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/28/18642571/nio-delay-et7-sedan-first-quarter-new-vehicle   US’S FIRST ZERO-EMISSION, ELECTRIC FERRY STARTS OPERATIONS "After being converted at the Master Marine shipyard in Bayou la Batre, Alabama, Gee’s Bend ferry has now returned to service being US’s first zero-emission, electric-powered passenger/car ferry. The boat will operate with less emissions, lower noise and reduced operating costs." according to safety4sea.com: "The 15-vehicle and 132-passenger ferry operates on the Alabama River between Camden and Boykin, Alabama"   https://safety4sea.com/uss-first-zero-emission-electric-ferry-starts-operations/   CENTRICA LAUNCHES BUSINESS EV PACKAGE "Centrica has launched a new electric vehicle (EV) service designed to help businesses in the transition towards electrifying their fleet." says Utility Week: "Companies will be offered solar panels and batteries to allow them to meet the additional power demands of new charging points. Moreover, customers will be able to integrate their EV chargers with existing energy infrastructure and access local energy management services to ensure they are managing their growing fleet in the smartest, most efficient way. Research carried out by Centrica has shown that more than 75 per cent of businesses are planning to introduce EVs into their fleets. However, over half (57 per cent) of these businesses have not considered the implications of what that could mean in terms of their energy demand."   https://utilityweek.co.uk/centrica-launches-ev-package-businesses/   SPIED: MINI COOPER S E CAUGHT TESTING IN THE WILD "This MINI Cooper S E, spotted being staged for an official photo shoot, gives us a completely undisguised look at the BMW subsidiary's first true entry into the all-electric market" reports Left Lane News: "The heart of it is a ~34-kWh battery pack, and according to early reports, MINI expects it to deliver roughly the same range as the BMW i3 somewhere in the neighborhood of 110-115 miles. That all said, the MINI promises to deliver one thing most compact EVs aren't really intended to: driving fun. At 3,000 pounds, it's not going to be quite as nimble as the gasoline-powered Cooper S Hardtop, but the S E should at least be able to hang with the heavier convertible."   https://leftlanenews.com/mini/spied-mini-cooper-s-e-caught-testing-in-the-wild/   NEW VW ID3 ELECTRIC HATCHBACK PROTOTYPES SPOTTED "Volkswagen is working to bring to market the VW ID3 electric hatchback as their first mass-market next-gen electric car and now new prototypes have been spotted in the wild."says Electrek: "With the launch of the pre-orders, VW released images of a new prototype with a weird camouflage. Furthermore, different ID3 electric hatchback prototypes with a more traditional camouflage were spotted at the Ionity charging station in Euro-Rastpark Hohenwarsleben in Saxony-Anhalt (pictures by Michael Roth via emobly): "nterestingly, the prorotypes appear to have been camouflaged to look like Nissan vehicles with the Japanese automaker’s signature grille. Otherwise, the camouflaged vehicles reveal the overall design of the ID3."   https://electrek.co/2019/05/28/vw-id3-electric-hatchback-prototypes-spotted/   WORLD'S LARGEST ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION IS IN SHENZHEN "The largest electric vehicle (EV) charging station in the world is reportedly now situated in our very own Shenzhen, according to Sina Auto. This past week, 172 fast chargers were added by Chinese power company Southern Power Grid in collaboration with BYD and Potevio - rounding out to a total of 637 fast chargers at Minle EV Charging Station in Longhua district." writes thatsmags.com: "One Chinese industries and commodities researcher tweeted that the station is able to service almost 5,000 vehicles per day, using a total of 160-megawatt hours of energy on average. Additionally, 70 of the newly constructed charging poles use 60-kilowatt constant power charging modules which can accommodate any type of electric car model."   http://www.thatsmags.com/china/post/28068/world-s-largest-electric-vehicle-charging-station-is-in-shenzhen   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Stacey "Cat-Catcher" Gaston ("The Smack-Down Daddy") is a lighting rod for excitement when he talks about catching those giant catfish. I had a chance to sit down with this dynamic catfish angler and get him to share his love for the sport. His full time job is educating young folks as a welding instructor and preaching the word as pastor of his own church, catching those big catfish is passion. Listening to this man talk about fishing will get so fired up you will want to go straight to the river and wet a hook. Not just any hook but the "Mad Catter XHD" hook. This hook, according to Stacey that is "as dangerous to catfish as a stick of dynamite".  Be sure to stay tune for the TCNB Lake Millers Ferry/Alabama River weekend fishing/water report with Joe Allen Dunn. Lucky for us this week I caught Public Information Manger/Outdoor Writer, David Rainer, in town with Joe Allen, doing a story on Alabama River catfish jugging. Also you will want to hear the CNB Gettin' Outdoors weekend weather report.  BDL

Eight families set out from North Carolina and stop on a bluff on the Alabama River and Selma is born. Kenan's Mill ghost stories, Kathryn Tucker Windham and Selma's Historic Pilgrimage   Alabama Pioneers

During 1961 and 1964, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) had led a voting registration campaign in Selma, the seat of Dallas County, Alabama, a small town with a record of consistent resistance to black voting. Resistance from law enforcement cramped SNCC’s efforts. Local civil rights activists allured Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) to turn Selma’s obstinacy to black voting into a national concern. SCLC also wanted to use the momentum of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to achieve federal protection for a voting rights statute. Over the course of January and February of 1965, King and the SCLC led many demonstrations to the Dallas County Courthouse in Selma. On February 17, during one of these demonstrations, an Alabama state trooper shot protester Jimmy Lee Jackson, fatally wounding him. A protest march from Selma to Montgomery was scheduled for the beginning of March in response to his killing. Six hundred protestors gathered in Selma on Sunday, March 7. They crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge over the Alabama River on their way to Montgomery. Just before the bridge, they found their route blocked by Alabama State troopers and local police who ordered them to turn around back towards Selma. When the protesters refused to turn around, the officers used teargas and entered the enormous crowd, beating the passive protesters with billy clubs and sending over fifty people to the hospital. The big difference between this demonstration and bloodshed and demonstrations before it was that it was televised nationally and internationally. This embarrassed Americans and let Americans who had never witnessed the barbarity of racism see it for the first time. After this atrocity, Martin Luther King, Jr. asked civil rights supporters to come back to Selma for a second march. Members of Congress urged Martin Luther King, Jr. to hold off on the march until a court could decide whether the protesters deserved federal protection. With many prominent civil rights activists now in Selma at Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call, they didn’t want to sit around, they wanted to make change. King found it hard to elect the correct action. Should he passively listen to the government’s requests for patience or should he continue to lead demonstrations and protests to actively help his cause? On March 9, MLK did end leading the second protest. This time, however, he turned the protest around at the beginning of the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s decisions at this demonstration aggravated the tension between SCLC and the more radical SNCC. The SNCC wanted more violent tactics to be used in order to win reforms to active opposition to racist programs. On March 21 of 1965, the last, and successful march began with federal protection. On August 6 of the same year, the federal Voting Rights Act was passed, making the process successful. In the end, the world witnessed change after bloodshed and a testament to what civil rights can do.
