Prime Reader Finds Oct’s “Around Montgomery”

Posted on November 30, 2010 by bob in AroundMtgy

Joyce Fargis Hoffman located the October “Around Montgomery” mystery site, the Jeff Davis Hotel. But, as you’ll see from her e-mail below, it wasn’t an easy search. Thanks Joyce!

First, I tried Dannelly Field and they all thought I was nutty – that area was referred to in an internet site I looked through. I even called Maxwell to see if they knew where the first WSFA might have been; they REALLY thought I was nutty.

Then, we went to WSFA-TV station and talked to the receptionist. She knew nothing of the WSFA radio site and called someone in the back offices who gave her the Dannelly Field information. There was your Prime magazine on the table in the reception area and I just wanted to pick the article up and show them what I was talking about. I feared I would end up in the five o’clock news.

It was mentioned that Hank Williams and Martin Luther King both had been in the WSFA radio station so I called the Hank Williams Museum and THEY knew the answer right away:  The Jefferson Davis Hotel. I guess they had been getting calls. — Joyce Fargis Hoffman
