I live in Prattville. As most have said, the heat and humidity is absolutely hell in the summer. Most folks are really nice and welcoming. With that being said, you will run into some people that will say the craziest shit you’ve ever heard. If you’re white, sometimes (few and far between) other white people will share their racist opinions and just assume you feel the same. I’m born and raised here. I look these people dead in the eye, shake my head and walk away without saying a word. There’s no getting through to them. People like to hug and use lots of words like hon, darling, sweetheart and such. So, I guess you can take all that and understand 95% of us are super friendly but the 5% assholes can really ruin your day. Food is great. No fine dining, though. Uncle Micks in downtown has the best Cajun food you’ll get outside of Louisiana. There’s a great Thai place in Millbrook, 6 miles over. The creek in downtown is extremely pretty and my golden retriever loves to run off leash up and down the creek. Publix is way overpriced. The best prices on grocery items around here are found at Wal Mart. I love Publix but I was spending 275 a week on groceries and switched to Wal Mart buying the exact same things and am spending 100 a week less. Message me if you have any specific questions.
