[@GetToughCrew]

RIP Alabama Village. I lived on Baldwin Dr. About 30 years ago. I used to get my peeps together during mardi gras season and March up and down those streets with my snare drum and they had buckets to beat on! Great times!

[@larrycashion752]

I lived here from mid-60s through the 70s. We were all broke down poor whites then, but we at least kept things picked up. We lived with our doors unlocked, and we kids had the times of our lives playing in the woods, going swimming, riding bicycles, etc. All in relative safety. SAD!!

[@virginiadunaway7142]

Ty, been a while since I have drove thru. I grew up in the village, so many memories behind the old Baggetts grocery store , of course hasn't been there in a long time. Vacanat lot at 3:23 , I'm pretty sure used to be a laundromat next to it. Early 80's

​@@JAKERALASHAY You are a brave, True Royal, Warrior Princess. Alabama is the Land of the aboriginal copper -colored Native American and enslaved African people. American and AFRICA, both are our Land! The people of Alabama are the Native American, Black/Copper Color Creek Indian Nation that witness and 'Tomahawk' the first White man to step foot on their Land. Alabama is a Hebrew word which means A'LA(GOD)+A'BA(FATHER)+A'MA(MOTHER) = Alabama =/mean "Here We Rest". The CREEK INDIAN NATION were one of a group of Aboriginal Native Americans whom the so called 'Pale -Face White people who came from the North to the South to colonized more Land, encroached on their Land, then divided the Copper Color/Black Native people and labeled them the so called "FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES" a.k.a CREEK, CHEROKEE, CHICKASAW, CHOCTAW & SEMINOLE Indians. The CREEK Nation TERRITORY extended as far as North & West to Alabama, Tenn, Missouri, Illonois, Miss, Arkansas, & Louisanna, . The Pale-face Europeans began to take the Creek Nation land. To save their Land, the CREEK WARRIORS declared War and fought against then USA President Andrew Jackson. It was called the Creek Indian War of 1811-1812. It was one of the very FIRST of the Indians Wars that were fought. My Grandfather was one of the Chief Warriors. The Creek and Seminole Nations intermarried with the enslaved Africans from Africa because they KNEW they were the same PEOPLE because they ALL spoke the same language which was HEBREW. They Aboriginal Native Indians NEVER enslaved the people from Africa but would buy their freedom from the Pale-faced European, intermarried with them and had children with them. My Great Grandmother born around 1800 Fathers were 'so called' CREEK Indians. She often told us that her Husband was from AFRICA and were the people of her Mother who came from Africa on Ships through the ALABAMA River and enslaved in America by the pale-faced Europeans. After the War the Pale-face European took over 260 millions acres of LAND from the Black/Copper Color Creek Nation. Two of the Battles were fought near Wilcox County and Tuskegee Alabama were the " BATTLE of HORSESHOE BEND and the BATTLE of BURNT CORN. Many of the so called "Five Civilized Tribes who "buckled" & signed 'Treaties" with the "Pale- face Devils" were FORCEFULLY REMOVED from their Alabama Land to INDIAN RESERVATIONS in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, ect.. This Forced Eviction & Seizure of Land became know as the INFAMOUS TRAIL of TEARS. My BRAVE Grandfathers NEVER signed the Treaty, were Never removed and NEVER abandoned the Land they were willing to DIE for, lived a full life, died and were buried on Ala-ba-ma(God-Father-Mother- Here we Rest) Soil. Alabama is SACRED LAND! This True legacy is another one of America BEST KEPT SECRETS of the SOUTH that is currently inhabited by the European white-racist -IRISH/SCOTTISH/ KKK and every other EUROPEAN ...but the ANCESTORS has returned for REDEMPTION! If your people are from Alabama then you're the so called CREEK Nation People. New subscriber....One Love...hope to stay in touch... True Royal Princess Warrior...Most High Bless you....shalawam( peace)

I grew up behind baggettes as well. I lived on Escambia. Until 1983. Spent a lot of time on those streets. Many memories in that park!

[@virginiadunaway7142]

Melissa Dempsey , same here. Mid mid ,80's when I moved from Escambia lol. There used to be a laundromat beside Baggetts, lot of memories there.

[@melissadempsey1039]

Virginia Dunaway we were the first house on the right on Escambia. 801 maybe? We had fun at the game center next to the laundromat.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

The roads crumbled apart at the sides over the years and been taken back over by plants, there are way too many trees not trimmed or anything this place would be a real fire hazard if it became really dry. This is a good example of too much wasted money on politicians and not enough money on infrastructure. I dont get the parking in the yard and leaving the driveway empty thing lol

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

@Lou king Well they shouldn't take money from taxes so they didn't have to be 'victims' of theft. I live nowhere near here but surely theres some well paid politicians living locally.

[@patriciaphillips8532]

So sad. I remember Snug Harbor as 4 plex apartments. We lived there in the early 60’s. My Aunt, Cousin and my Mom and Aunts Cousin in one 4 plex. The Park, Prichard Park, was at the end of the street. Huge Playground, Zoo, Pool, concession stand and Baseball park. Fireworks on the Forth of July with Gov. George Wallace speaking. So many kids, always somebody to play with ! Not even a shadow of all of that left. Heartbreaking.

[@LG-pj4qh]

My parents lived in Alabama Village when I was born in 1952, we moved to Chickasaw soon after that. I had friends in Alabama Village and Prichard Homes, spent so much time in both places.I'm sure you remember the azaleas around all the houses. What happened to all those houses, the're just gone. (I always felt sad for the lion at the zoo.)

[@larrycashion752]

I could hear the lion roaring at the zoo from Baldwin Dr.

[@joseyeastwood]

I lived in Plateau on Cherry Street back in the mid 90s.
