New pavement...it's one of those things you hate to drive through until the work is finished.
This busy stretch along Highland Avenue where car dealerships, Walmart, the Selma Mall, Winn-Dixie and the Selma Bypass converge at various points is getting fresh blacktop. The commute isn't so great right now, but the new surface will be worth it...soon, very soon!
The Broad Street/Highland Avenue intersection is probably Selma's busiest. Head straight, and you will be in downtown Selma. The visitor center is just past the light. Go right, and you'll be on "the strip," where you'll find several fast-food restaurants, motels and eventually Medical Center Parkway. Turn left, and you can shop at the mall, Wal-Mart, Winn-Dixie, find more motels or head to Prattville on Highway 14. Turn onto the bypass to go on to Montgomery. Turn around, and you'll find a couple of funeral homes, car dealerships, banks, auto repair places and the community college. Keep going, and you will be in Valley Grande and from there, you might end up in Birmingham! This photo was take a few months ago during the Great Drought, and the haze you see up ahead is smoke blown our way from those fires that burned forever in south Georgia!
