Where can I put in paper work to try and get a rehab program going there? Not just a drug program either. Something I was told to contact yall about…
casino money to burn///… But it came from people. I remember atmore being a place to go to and have fun. Maybe they will not screw this up and start making it the place to be and not OVER DO IT, like the beach.
Go Atmore! I remember how busy Main Street use to be – let’s bring ” hustle and bustle ” back home.
Atmore has great potential and I hope this designation will help develop more than Main Street and the downtown area.
They got a long row to hoe…
