Grabbing a latte at the coffeehouse near High Point Town Center in Prattville, Alabama, I overheard the friendly conversation of the two ladies in line in front of me. Tossing ideas back and forth, their intent was to compile a welcome basket for the new family moving into their neighborhood.
Their polite exchange was a reminder of the good-natured people of “The Cotton State” of Alabama. Following this example of a cordial hometown vibe, tour along with me while I showcase idyllic homes for sale on MilitaryByOwner near Montgomery and Maxwell Air Force Base Gunter Annex.
