The Capital City’s laid-back Hill Hedge neighborhood provides three and four-bedroom homes under towering trees in convenient Midtown.
Hill Hedge is located on the north side of Carter Hill Road, opposite the popular McGehee Estates and Rosemont neighborhoods.
“Homes are close to shopping, restaurants, and the interstate,” Realtor Myra Pruit said. “The homes in the neighborhood are traditional, and the yards are well kept.”
The location in Midtown puts residents within five minutes of both public and private schools. Shopping, retail, and dining along Zelda and Carter Hill roads are all a short drive from Hill Hedge. Publix, Winn-Dixie and Renfroe’s are all nearby as are vibrant churches and a YMCA.
Connie Laressa Knox, 26, was charged with first-degree domestic violence Monday morning after the Sunday evening shooting.
According to court records, Knox and the victim got into an altercation regarding their relationship while at his apartment on Calmar Drive. The defendant and victim exited the bedroom and went downstairs to the kitchen where they continued their verbal altercation, according to Knox s arrest affidavit.
While in the kitchen, Knox went to her purse to grab her car keys and the victim thought she was reaching for her mace, according to court records. The victim placed his hand on top of his .45 caliber Taurus firearm that was located on top of his refrigerator and advised the defendant not to spray him, the arrest affidavit says. The victim took his hand off his firearm and left it on top of his refrigerator.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A new procedure at Baptist Medical Center South saved a patient from the effects of a stroke by removing a blood clot from his brain. The hospital says the treatment is the areaâs first for life-saving stroke care.
On April 6, 73-year-old Michael Amos was at his home in Troy with his wife when suddenly, he was unable to speak or move the right side of his body. Michaelâs wife, Carol Amos, called 911 and requested an ambulance transport him to Baptist South.
When he thinks over the last 12 months inside Montgomery s Baptist South hospital, Jared Knighting remembers the sounds, the jarring trill of code blues and rapid response alerts cutting through the ambient beeps and tones of hospital hallways over, and over, and over again. Every time you went into a room, you didn’t know if that was your last time being healthy, said Knighting, a 32-year-old emergency room nurse.

Overnight, patient numbers swelled as the state, the country and the world at large shuttered life as we know it to grapple with a disease full of unknowns.
