Most major motel chains, including Ramada, Residence Inn, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, Quality Inn, Best Suites, Best Western and LaQuinta, have facilities at the intersection of Interstate 85 and East Boulevard, which is near the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. Every capital city has restaurants where the legislators and lobbyists hang out. Near the eatery at 1051 East Fairview Ave. are other restaurants, plus bars with live music. Both are intimate restaurants that take reservations. It's Halloween night in Montgomery.
Fog creeps up from the Alabama River and encircles a tall white tombstone.
For Tanner Broughton of Birmingham and Jeremy Gossett of Pell City, Ala., the wait on this eerie night is worth it. It was weird. The visitors at night are so numerous that Hank Williams Jr. put up a sign asking them not to desecrate his father's grave by leaving behind their beer cans and trash. Despite tourists' interest in Williams, the city has been slow to recognize him. The Lost Highway'' in recognition of Williams.
