🗣 Patch Shout Out 🗣

Our Shout Out for this Wednesday morning goes to the fourth grade students of Huntington Place Elementary, who visited Montgomery on Tuesday as part of their studies about Alabama history and government. I was lucky enough to get to go on the trip, which is the reason for the slow news day for Tuscaloosa Patch on Tuesday.
