11 Things to Do in Troy, AL
Perry Brown

I hear it everyday: "There's nothing to do in Troy." Honestly, I've said it too. But, there are so many fun ways to spend a day! Here are a few of my favorites:


1. Pike County Lake

Pike County lake has been newly restored and is open to the public. It is the perfect place to spend the day fishing, boating, or picnicking with family and friends! Grab your picnic basket, fishing pole, and your eno to spend a fun day in the great outdoors of Alabama!


2. Camp Butter and Egg


Zip lining, laser tag, canoeing, rock walls... no room for boring here!


3. Troy Community Recreation Center

Swimming pools, indoor and out! There are lots of options at the Rec Center. And there is even a gym... for those of you who are... in to that kind of stuff...


4. Downtown Troy, AL

This is one of my favorite parts of Troy, Alabama. It is seriously the cutest place. So many different local restaurants and places to shop. And, the city even hosts concerts and festivals downtown, too!


5. McClelland's Zoo


Lions, and tigers, and bears, OH MY! McClelland's Zoo is an awesome locally owned zoo located in Banks, Alabama. There is even a petting zoo!


6. The Continental Cinemas in Troy, AL

Troy, Alabama has a great movie theatre and they always have best popcorn in town. Plus, there are discounts and $1 movie nights for Troy Students!!


7. Victorian Spa & Wellness Center

Because you always deserve to be pampered.


8. Pioneer Museum of Alabama


The Pioneer Museum is full of history and hands on learning. They have different programs and festivals throughout the year, so go learn something new!


9. Johnson Center for the Arts


New exhibits are always coming to the Johnson Center. The perfect way to learn about history and arts in downtown Troy, Alabama.


10. The Party Pad

Mini golf is always a good idea.


11. Trojan Athletics


Here's to the school we love! Citizens of Troy, Alabama, have a unique opportunity. College baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and more in our backyard.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
