Not sure what you mean by decline, but in Montgomery things are actually looking up, and I give credit to Bobby Bright for some out-of-the-box thinking and actions. There is now a downtown restaurant and entertainment district that is quite pleasant to visit, where 10 or 15 years ago you didn't go unless packing. One of those ten pennies per dollar goes to repave streets, and as a result Monkeytown is in pretty good shape in that department. The old projects are being razed and people being moved into better digs. The corridor from I-65 to Maxwell AFB, once a figurative cess pool, is undergoing quite a transformation.

Fortunately Montgomery hasn't suffered the gross corruption that Birmingham endured....but Montgomery has an ace in the hole, State Government, that can't afford to have the kind of shenanigans going on the Bham experienced.

Been in Montgomery (County, the city limits literally splits the middle of the road in front of our house) for over 20 years now and things are definitely better now than when we moved here
