It might interest you to know that the Selma bridge is the only one on the 312 mile Ala. river, which flows past the edge of my county.
And that A certain William R. King from North Carolina named Selma, when he moved here.

Those old vacant looking stores can be found in every little town here in Ala.and I am sure that goes for most of the southern states.
I find them sad, like history's orphans.

I have been in Selma, years ago. Thanks for the memories!
