Bald Knob Street, or just "Bald Knob," is a mysterious place located in the small town of Wetumpka, Alabama. It is a tiny one lane road that winds up a mountain, which is home to three houses and at the top of the hill is multiple cell phone towers and satellites. However, as it seems to be a simple normal place, it is known for many myths and stories.

While you ride up what feels like a tall mountain, you will pass many gates to properties, and as you look over to your right or left, you will notice the deep drop offs that look too dangerous to be near. As you near the top, you will see the huge cell phone towers and many small creepy looking buildings. Off the main road are many mysterious landmarks that you can not see from your drive up the hill.

As you get near the end of your journey of the road, you will be near a place which is home to one of the most strangest places of Bald Knob. There is half built house located off the main road. The home is in the shape of a circle and looked like the owner was building it alone, because all of the construction materials are still located there as if the owner just disappeared. There is a basement that you can enter underneath the house. However, there is a solid concrete door that hides the other 75 percent of the basement, which no one has entered before. This is perhaps one of the most mysterious places in the city of Wetumpka.

There is also a trail that leads to a balcony that overlooks the Wetumpka Impact Crater. There use to be events held here however there has not been any to my knowledge in many years.

Along with the unique places on Bald Knob, there are many myths and stories that go along with the road as well. There is a myth that there is a satyr that calls the road home with the nickname "The Goat Man." As this myth has been talked about for many years, unfortunately, no one has ever seen the alleged creature.

Bald Knob is an interesting place filled with many weird places and stories. A must see location if you are in the Montgomery, Alabama area.

We do not recommend that you attempt to travel to any of the places that are located on private property without proper permission from the owner of the property.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
