William Bartram was a Revolutionary War-era artist and botanist from Philadelphia. Under the sponsorship of a British physician and gardener, he traveled the South for four years, 1774-1777, including a lengthy trip to Alabama in 1775. His important 1791 book, Bartram's Travels, was the first book to describe the South (and Alabama) in detail.

Montgomery skate park to relocate, paves way for new development

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA)- New development is on the way for Montgomery. But it means one popular downtown destination will be relocated.

It all came down to a unanimous vote of the city council to sell the property where the Montgomery skate park is located.

It's on Bibb Street across from the convention center.

City development directors say a local businessman is interested in building a residential and retail space there.

It's expected to be roughly six stories high--complete with loft apartments and retail shops.

The city council voted to sell the property for $300,000 dollars.

Development directors say once they close on it, the new owner will have one year to start construction.

The Plaza at Centennial Hill groundbreaking

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA)- The mention of Tulane Court normally brings visions of violent crime and blighted property, but the future of Hall Street is certainly brighter.

The development of The Plaza at Centennial Hill is now in full swing.  A 129 unit, mixed-income housing community will offer apartment flats and garden homes.  A nod to the vibrant Tulane Court of days gone by.  A time known well by Representative John Knight. 

"It had gotten such a negative image.  I had grown up here, I knew the type of people who were born and raised here, and moved on to many other places.  It didn't deserve that type of reputation."

The reputation of The Plaza will be guarded by investors, involved in a first-ever, public-private funding venture.
