Park Place was originally designed as a retirement community. After the death of Bob Love, a new owner rented to college students, short-term business guests, etc. Many felt this was an unwise business decision, while others heralded it as a means to keep the facility afloat when rentals would have otherwise been low.
Recently there's been an exodus of sorts from Park Place. Why? There are several stories floating around, but we have not been able to independently verify them. If you have had personal experience with Park Place, send us a private message. We'll try to update this next week.

Most have heard by now that Humphrey Lee will be among those challenging Johnny Mack Morrow for the Alabama State Senate later this year. The seat is open, so we expect more qualifiers in the days and weeks to come.
Morrow has a solid support base, while Lee is new to the political game. Theoretically, neither Lee nor Morrow may be candidates in the general election, but as of now, that looks like the probable match up.
Perhaps the question is not will the election be highly contested, but just how much dirt will be thrown?

Blake Austin Hines? He's in a lot of trouble...again. Our take, and it's not going to change, is that anyone who would violently assault a woman...an unwell woman in her 80's...is not fit, nor will he ever be fit, to live among civilized individuals. He's again been arrested, but we have no hopes of anything more than another short incarceration. This will be his third, if you count his time in juvie.
No answers and no hope. Yet how many in the Shoals are just like him?
