Along US 80 in western Alabama lies the town of Demopolis. The name of the town in Greek means town of the people. The people are the town. Every time I have passed through this town I have seen the sign pointing to the historic district. Today I took the opportunity to see for myself what the historic district of Demopolis looked like. I was not disappointed. There are a number of very large, impressive Victorian (and older) homes lining one of the larger boulevards. The square is the center of the down town. The square is a park with a gazebo and stores line the other side of the street. Most of the store fronts were empty but I did find a wonderful children's and gift store on the square. If you are looking for some good home style cooking, may I suggest Kora's. It is a little hard to find but worth the effort. Yum! Stop by.
