I retired in January of this year and recently moved here from Ohio with my fiancée. Reading the opinion letters in the Outlook, I see that there are many that are not happy with decisions of the Alex City officials. That is fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion but not all if any can make a comparison between Alexander City and a city in another state.  Here is what I have seen in just a short time.

Alexander City according to the internet is close to 44 square miles with a population of 14,500 give or take a few.
