A beautiful little town…Wedowee
Wedowee is a unique little town in Randolph County, Alabama situated on both sides of US Highway 431, a four-lane with a nice median. I would like to take you on a tour of our little town. Let’s start at the center of town, literally. Wedowee has a real town square. (I love those math words). Our town square is probably the smallest town square there is with a double-lane one way all the way around. In the center we have a memorial to honor all those Randolph Countians who served in WWI. 
My husband’s uncle was one of those men. And although, my maternal grandfather was not from Randolph County (not even from the US) , I like to think it honors him, too, for his service to his country (England) because he was wounded, shell-shocked, and received mustard poisoning in the trenches of France.
As you drive around the square, pay attention to the little red welcome center on the median. 
Believe it or not, this was the Wedowee Police Station. Can you imagine? If you told people you were from Wedowee, they always said “I know where that is. It’s the place with the police station in the median.” The old police station is now a book swap. The median also serves as the location for a couple of town events. There is the annual “Crafts on the Median” and also an annual “Art on the Median” the second Saturday in June sponsored by the East Alabama Arts Society. My favorite thing about the median is how it is decorated during Christmas. Very large cedar trees are erected and strung with colorful lights in the median while all the buildings are outlined with white lights on both sides of US 431. The only building I noticed last year not outlined in lights was Alabama Power. Go figure! Many of the buildings along the streets add their own personal displays of Christmas. I think Wedowee is one of the prettiest towns ever decorated for Christmas.
From the town square let’s look along US 431 South, and the first thing we see is DCOM, Dance Center on Main owned and operated by local talent Jennifer Boone Stone, who just happens to 
be one of my former students. Her grandfather was chief of police for many years. I love the mechanics and relationships of small town Southern living. This building was once a hardware store and later a florist before becoming Jennifer’s dance studio, which her dad and my husband both contributed to remodeling including the pink awning.
Seegar Auto Parts is the red awning business in between DCOM and the Wedowee 24 hour Fitness Center.
Then we have another small section rounding out the businesses on this side of the street
Now let’s U turn and head back to the town square. This beautiful building is the Old English Inn. It has been remodeled. I need new pictures… It is followed by a series of small shops including a coffee shop.. 
Then we once had our bank, First State Bank of Ashland, Lineville, and Wedowee. Their slogan is “we make dreams come true” and they are certainly doing this for us. They are helping finance the RV Park. But they have a brand new building…
Next up is the old Alabama Power where we now have Edward Jones. Investors and then Flowers by Elaine. Elaine does beautiful flowers and also has a variety of gifts as well.
Amber’s Cafe is next. You have to become aquainted with Ms. Amber. 
Chad Lee, attorney at law, is next and I am proud to claim him and his wife Ashlee as two of my former students.
Then you will find a cool shop that the women need to check out It’s called the Crow’s Nest. It’s owned by Shasta Crowson who just happens to be Elaine’s daughter. Inside this store, different people have booths. You will find clothes, lake items, jewelry, and My sister-in-law, Dianne has a booth where she sells varying items. The last building before returning to the courthouse is another lawyers office that recently opened.
One day, I will finish the town…
