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.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
