New Albany: A CITY ON THE MOVE

MY FRIDAY COLUMN this week looks at the recent exciting growth that has come to our downtown.

A CITY ON THE MOVE

...For years our downtown has been like a ghost town, especially after the sun went down, but that doesn’t seem to be the case any more...

Inspiration for this week's column came during a recent trip downtown for the opening of LaRosita Mexican Grill and Bar followed by desert at the River City Winery.

...The YMCA was built as a catalyst for downtown growth and it hasn’t disappointed.  Even before the construction was completed investors started looking at our downtown as a place they wanted to be...


...When our amphitheater was destroyed a few years ago  our riverfront could have easily been left to wither and die.  Now with a newly designed permanent facility, we have experienced a plethora of musical and entertainment acts..
New Albany is clearly a city on the move and things are only looking bigger and better.  I can't wait to see what happens next.
