10 MORE Ways You Know You're From Boaz, AL
Ally Mishell Smith

Boaz, Alabama is such a unique place. The older I've gotten, the more grateful I am for this little town that I grew up in. In June, I wrote 10 Ways You Know You're From Boaz, Alabama. Since then, I've been coming up with more ways and reasons why I love my little town.

So with that being said, here are 10 MORE ways that you know you're from Boaz, Alabama.

1. The Harvest Festival

Nothing kicks off the start of fall like a Boaz Harvest Festival. Food trucks, lemonade, funnel cakes and lots of shopping.

2. Boaz 9 Cinema

Going to the Boaz 9 is an experience that can't be described.

3. Midget Wrestling

Yes, It's just as weird as it sounds.

4. Mr. Snowball

There is no better way to celebrate the start of summer than with a snowcone from Mr. Snowball. It really is the best snow cone known to man.

5. The Piggly Wiggly

Piggly Wiggly is the best way to get all of your grocery shopping done without having to fight the crowds of Walmart. Grab a snow cone from Mr. Snowball on your way in to make the trip a little more bearable.

6. Pasquales

Two things everyone loves when it comes to food: buffets and pasta. Pasquale's is both and is a staple in everyone's diet in Boaz.

7. Dollar Stores

Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, and Dollar General, if one store doesn't have it another one will. You can really survive off of $1.

8. All the shopping

9. Jamoka's Coffee Shop

When you need that extra boost of energy on a Monday or any rough morning, pull into the drive-thru of Jamoka's coffee shop for a pick-me-up. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

10. Community

The best way to describe Boaz is just one big, happy family. They're always going to have your back and always welcome you back with open arms.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
