A Home For Every Lifestyle
F
ew small communities anywhere in the United States boast
such a variety of homes, suitable for every lifestyle.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
“Opelika offers a multitude of options and a fit for every need,” says
Ashley Durham, a local realtor with Prestige Properties.
A drive around town shows Durham’s not just polishing her sales
pitch. Downtown, young professionals, families with children and
retirees enjoy loft living above shops and restaurants in historic
buildings.
8
“Loft living offers a very exciting lifestyle, especially with the number of events Opelika Main Street puts together for downtown,”
she says.
The city has invested more than $18 million downtown, creating
a streetscape harking back to an earlier time and enhancing building facades. Opelika Main Street focuses on downtown revitalization, and part of that revitalization is the sponsorship of a variety of
events, including the biannual “On the Tracks,” a food and wine
happening.
On First Fridays, downtown businesses are open late, and residents
can find fresh, local produce at a Farmers Market on Courthouse
Square during the summer months. During the holiday season,
Opelika Main Street stages Christmas in a Railroad Town.
“We’ve also got a very nice historic district, definitely a close-knit
community,” Durham says. “It’s the kind of community where
your house expands beyond your home into the neighborhood,
and the city’s Historic Preservation Commission does a great job of
making sure the homes remain true to their time period.”
The district, north of Opelika’s downtown area, is home to the
annual Victorian Front Porch Tour, a journey into the 1890s. The
10 blocks between North Eighth Street and Second Avenue are
transformed as front porches become the settings for Christmasthemed scenes.
Opelika has been named one of the nation’s top golf
destinations year after to year, thanks to the Grand
National golf course hugging the edge of Lake
Saugahatchee in Opelika’s northwest section.
Considered the jewel of the Robert Trent Jones Golf
Trail, the course is also home to National Village, a
golf community with Craftsman-style homes and
weekend retreat cottages.
“Really, Opelika has homes at every price point and
for every family style,” Durham says. “There is plenty of space for everyone, and houses still have great
values and are affordable.”
Durham says newcomers can buy a comfortable
home for under $100,000, or a showplace for as
much as $700,000.
“There is a lot of construction on all sides, in the
heart of town and close to the interstate that
caters to the growth of the automotive industry
in the area.”
Real estate in Opelika and Lee County has stabilized, with homes in the area never seeing the precipitous drops in value many other cities saw. Good
values, low interest rates, Opelika’s low property tax
rates and new businesses have meant a surge in
home buyers in the area, Durham says.
In fact, in February 2012 the National Association
of Realtors reported that Lee County residential
sales had been improving for eight consecutive
months compared to the same months from the
previous year. Sales of existing single-family homes
accounted for more than 50 percent of total sales.

“The job market is continuing to grow and expand,
so we’ve got new people coming to the area as well
as people upgrading,” Durham says. “And the real
estate market can definitely keep up with the economic growth.” o

All Pro Dads – Positive Influence
O
nce a month, fathers join their sons or daughters for
breakfast at six Opelika elementary schools. As part of
the All Pro Dad program, every father stands up and
explains what his child has done recently to make him proud.
“That’s a very positive thing first thing in morning. Your father’s
getting up and telling all your fellow schoolmates he’s proud of
you,” says Steve Carson, director of alternative education and student services, who was tapped to implement the program in the
city’s K-5 schools.
Opelika’s All Pro Dad is a chapter of the All Pro Dad fatherhood
program of Family First, a national nonprofit based in Tampa, Fla.
The national program was launched in 1997 with the help of Tony
Dungy, former head coach of the 2006 Super Bowl champion
Indianapolis Colts.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
Some 40,000 fathers and children in the U.S. and nine foreign
countries now participate in All Pro Dad, which came to Opelika
just this year. Carson describes the program as a resounding success.
12
“It’s turned out even better than we were expecting,” he says. “We
were apprehensive at first because we were afraid some kids would
feel left out, but that hasn’t been the case.”
As many as a hundred fathers have turned out at Morris Avenue
Intermediate, and 90 fathers have showed up for breakfast at Jeter
Primary. Mothers are encouraging fathers to attend, and when a
father is not available, a big brother or an older cousin fills in.
“We always have mothers at school,” Carson says. “This creates
participation among fathers.”
All Pro Dad is built on a football theme, with prepared programs downloaded every month from the Internet featuring more than 50 NFL players, coaches and alumni who speak out on the importance of being a good
father. The inexpensive curriculum is downloaded from allpro.com.
“They discuss a wide range of family topics,” Carson says. “They talk about
spending time together, and creating memories.”
Each program includes a video clip about a particular character trait, perhaps courage, respect, or loyalty. Each school’s captain and co-captain get
the script ahead of time to lead the sessions, and they make sure fliers go
home to remind fathers before each breakfast meeting. Dads are required
to preregister so the school cafeterias will have enough sausage biscuits.
“Even the principals and teachers are thrilled about the program’s success,”
Carson says. “Our first groups started out in small activity rooms, but had
to be moved to the cafeterias, and each month the numbers are growing.
I haven’t heard any negative comments at all.” o

Opelika’s Downtown Revitalization
N
ot too many years ago, downtown Opelika rolled up
the sidewalks at 5 p.m. Today the area is a vibrant dining and entertainment hub that draws from a wide area,
with area residents often waiting in long lines to get seats in a diversity of restaurants with growing reputations. What happened?
“We’ve got one million square feet of retail space and plenty of
parking. How green is it to develop what’s already there?” asks John
Marsh, the iconoclastic young developer who spearheaded the
transformation.
buildings and began renovating them, one by one. The old
Opelika Drug Store on South Railroad, for example, was a shell
with dirt floors. Marsh renovated the space using materials from
historic properties and lavished loving attention on every detail.
That building is now home to the Irish Bred Pub, where there are
two-hour waits most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Within
eight months of opening, the dining room space had to be doubled.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
For more than five years, Marsh researched the ingredients that
make a downtown vital. He says he identified food, entertainment,
art and specialty shops as the magic components.
14
“That’s what works and that is what downtown Opelika is going
to be,” said Marsh. “I think nobody else would take the risk,
because it was a huge undertaking. I brought to the table construction ability, the willingness to take a risk and financial and
business literacy.”
The city had already invested in an attractive streetscape, but when
Marsh looked at Opelika’s downtown he saw many of the buildings were vacant and small shops and restaurants struggled. Yet he
couldn’t get a lot of people to buy into his vision of a thriving entertainment district.
Early on, Marsh thought if he built beautifully finished properties,
tenants would automatically come. That didn’t happen. That’s
when he approached long-time restaurateurs Joe Garofalo and Paul
Marmol, proprietors of 10 other restaurants in Georgia.
Undaunted, over time Marsh bought 18 dilapidated commercial
“I knew they knew how to run restaurants,” he says. “But Irish Bred
Pub would never have come if I hadn’t done the build-out myself. I
had to sell the idea to them, and it had to make business sense.”
The restaurant’s opening was a game-changer, Marsh says. Downtown
Opelika already boasted several well-regarded restaurants, including
Jimmy’s and Café 123, but as word about Irish Bred Pub started spreading, awareness of the entire Opelika downtown area as a dining-out destination soared.
“This is where grown folks go if they don’t want that student environment,” Marsh says.
“It’s not my property, but I helped,” said Marsh. “I’m not battling anyone else, because this is synergistic. If you put all your eggs in one basket,
you have to watch the basket.”
The opening of Irish Bred Pub was followed by the debut of
Ma Fia’s in another Marsh property. Rick Yockachonis, former chef at
the Five Star Plantation in Kellington, Ala., opened the restaurant,
where it’s all about the food. The pasta and bread are made on premises. The restaurant also boasts a 2,000-bottle wine selection and handcrafted beers.
Coming soon is The Overall Company, which Marsh says will offer specialty coffees, “amazing” cheeses, a bakery and gourmet popsicles. The icy
treats will be created using a gourmet popsicle machine imported from
Brazil that will turn out such intriguing flavors as strawberry balsamic with
cracked black pepper. There’ll also be fresh fruit pops for the kids.
Jefferson’s, which offers an inexpensive, eclectic menu of burgers, wings
and oysters, opened on Railroad Avenue in late March. The chain, based
“It’ll be like a coffee shop in New York City or Chicago, serving the best
coffee east of the Mississippi and south of Manhattan,” said Marsh.
D i n i n g
“If you have incredible food and service, they will come,” said Marsh.
“And we’re not competing with Auburn, we’re completing the restaurant
scene. Our cities are connected, so we can’t move.”
&
in Jacksonville, Ala., has 14 restaurants in Alabama and elsewhere.
S h o p p i n g
He’s referring to residents of Auburn, Opelika’s sister city and home to
Auburn University. Auburn has about the same population as Opelika,
but four times as many restaurants, Marsh notes. Now, Auburn residents
are considering Opelika when they plan an evening out.
15
Owners are Laura and Jay Pritchard and Ty and Alli Maloney,
who studied the concept for two years. The operation will be
located in the home of Marsh’s former shop, Historic
Possibilities, where he sold architectural components salvaged
from historic buildings in the area.
The coffee shop will include outdoor rooftop dining with a fireplace. The 1860s-era building was once home to the Opelika
Overall Company, and Marsh is incorporating the same kinds
of salvaged architectural details in this building as in his other
properties. For example, all the wood flooring comes from an
1800s-era structure in Albany, Ga.
“It’s about the food, but it’s also about the buildings,” said
Marsh. “You feel different in a historic building, and Opelika
was really the Wild West. There are a lot of stories here.”
Marsh got his start in historic renovation by working—paycheck to paycheck—on his own home, an old Victorian in a
run-down neighborhood near downtown. Then he started buying nearby homes and renovating them, until he had 46 properties. Revitalizing Opelika’s downtown seemed like the natural
next step.
In the future, Marsh wants to develop an entire arts community in the old Sikes Feed & Seed. He hopes to attract sculptors,
painters, musicians and glassblowers. He plans to build a 400seat restaurant serving artisan foods.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
Marsh’s company, J. Marsh Developers, has avoided taking on
investors for downtown redevelopment because Marsh says he
doesn’t want to lose control. And his interests aren’t limited to
construction. In fact, he says he runs eight companies out of his
downtown office, handling building, financing and marketing
for the restaurants that open in his properties.
16
“If the money works, everything else works,” Marsh says. “I help
make sure the restaurants don’t fail, because you’re only taking a
risk in the restaurant business if you don’t know what you’re
doing.”
Marsh is motivated by more than money. He says his real drive
is the desire to make a difference for his children’s children, and
building a vital downtown Opelika is part of that dream.
“The synergy is finally there,” Marsh says. “Downtown will
continue to grow.” o

County Hospital opened its doors. Today, as East Alabama
Medical Center, the local hospital serves nearly 15,000
patients a year as inpatients and nearly 45,000 through the
bustling emergency room.
20
More than 80,000 Lee County residents also made outpatient visits
to the main hospital facility for everything from breast cancer screening and mammograms to chemotherapy and kidney dialysis.
In this anniversary year, EAMC has plenty to celebrate. The hospital opened in 1952 with just 81 beds, replacing the 25-bed
Opelika Hospital at the corner of Ninth Street and Third Avenue.
Today, the modern eight-story facility on Pepperell Parkway in
Opelika boasts 340 beds, an enviable list of affiliated physicians and
inclusion on a surprising number of “best” lists.
In the old days, many Lee County residents also got their medical
care at the college dispensary, located on the campus of what is now
Auburn University. Today, the tables are turned. EAMC handles
healthcare for the university, with some 40,000 students and faculty visiting the Auburn University Medical Clinic, headed by Dr.
Fred Kam, every year. The clinic offers physician care, a nursing
staff, a full lab, X-ray facilities and even a massage therapist.
Today, EAMC is a regional state-of-the-art healthcare facility serving five counties in East Alabama, but the going has sometimes
been rough. Back in the 1980s, the hospital was faced with cum-
Under Andrus’ leadership, EAMC has been named to Fortune

as one of the “Top 100 Heart Programs” in the United States for
three consecutive years, and recognized for advancements in open
heart surgery by being named a Premier Quality Award

bersome bond ratings and the advent of complex Medicare reimbursement procedures. Those associated with the hospital give
credit to EAMC president and CEO Terry Andrus, named to the
post in 1984, for navigating the shoals. Andrus had worked as
EAMC’s chief operating officer since 1983.
In 1999, EAMC opened Camellia Place, an assisted and retirement living facility, at the hospital’s Auburn Medical Park, located
on a 37-acre tract of land in Auburn. In 2000, the state’s first freestanding inpatient hospice facility, Bethany House, opened at the
park. HealthPlus Fitness Center opened on the same campus just
a short time afterwards. In 2002, EAMC purchased two retire-

ment communities, naming them Magnolia Place and Azalea Place.
EAMC continued to add services, including AIDS Outreach (now
Unity Wellness Center) and a forensic toxicology lab in 2003. That year
the hospital also added the Oak Park Retirement Living and Nursing
Home to its stable of high-quality retirement communities. In 2005, a
Wound Treatment Center opened its doors, followed by a Prenatal
Clinic the next year.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
After being named again to Fortune’s list of “Best Places to Work” in
2002, the hospital was informed public-sector agencies were no longer
eligible for inclusion, but there are lots of reasons employees might
argue that decision. For one thing, EAMC’s Cornerstone Society, an
employee assistance program, has built five Habitat for Humanity
homes for employees. And employees participate in at least one international mission trip a year. Five teams of employees worked on the
Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
22
Through all the expansion, EAMC has managed to stay in the black,
with total expenses topping $305 million, but total revenue exceeding
$318 million for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2011.
The hospital’s mission is to offer high-quality, compassionate healthcare, and its vision is to be a national leader in quality, cost and service.
East Alabama Medical Center seems to be well on the way to achieving that goal. o

Museum of East Alabama – Preserving Opelika’s History
F
rom 1942 until 1945, as World War II raged in Europe and
the Far East, some 3,000 German prisoners of war were
detained at a POW camp in Opelika. Now, the stories of
their lives on American soil are part of one of the most popular
exhibits at the Museum of East Alabama, located in the old
Clement Hotel in downtown Opelika.
“Their life here was pretty good compared to the lives of American
POWs,” says Glenn Buxton, the museum’s director since 2005.
“They had their own theater, their own orchestra, even their own
newspaper.”
The prisoners worked on building projects around town and created cigarette holders and paintings that are now on display. The
long-abandoned camp, located in Opelika’s oldest industrial park,
once stretched along what is now I-85.
Buxton says visitors to the museum have increased dramatically as
the museum has undergone several phases of renovation, commencing in late 2009. The museum reopened in July 2010 after
the first phase was completed, with a second phase completed in
October 2011.
“We’re still not finished,” Buxton says. “We’ve probably got another two years of work to go.”
And there are plenty of exhibits not yet on display, he notes. They
include a 1920s-era barbershop as well as a beauty shop from
roughly the same time.
“We have a hair curler that dates back to the mid-1920s, and it
looks like something out of a Frankenstein movie,” Buxton says.
Exhibits memorializing the Creek Indians, who once populated
the area, are also a draw, Buxton says. Especially impressive is a prehistoric canoe dating to 3500 B.C. The area around Opelika was
once the heart of the Creek homeland.
E n t e r t a i n m e n t
Other popular exhibits include artifacts from the old Pepperell
Mill, a textile mill with a surrounding mill village that once served
as an economic engine for the city. In fact, Opelika and her old
mills provided the location for the 1979 film Norma Rae, which
told the story of a factory worker from a small Southern town who
got caught up in the struggle to unionize.
&
A r t s
The Museum of East Alabama, located at 121 S. Ninth St. in the
heart of Opelika’s historic district, was founded in 1989 by John T.
and Eleanor Harris. The museum now houses more than 5,000

creating babies with durable plaster of paris heads covered with
fleece-lined fabric. A willow stick served as a spine to hold the head
onto an oilcloth body stuffed with cotton from the local gin.
“They’re ugly, but they’re very valuable—and we have one of the
best collections anywhere,” Buxton says.
Space was gained by paring down collections so only the most representative items were displayed.
artifacts, with some 2,000 visitors yearly learning about the history
of both Opelika and East Alabama.
“Before, we might have had six or seven of the same things sitting
side by side,” Buxton says. “Now, we can change out displays and
keep the museum fresh.”
Opelika first appears on maps as far back as 1733. Currently, one
of the two largest cities in Lee County, Opelika was originally settled as part of Russell County and was incorporated February 9,
1854. The original town boundaries, specified by the Alabama
Legislature, were described as “being one mile in every direction
from the railroad station,” which was thought to be the center of
town. Opelika became the county seat of Lee County on Dec. 15,
1866. Lee County was organized from portions of Tallapoosa,
Macon, Chambers and Russell counties when Alabama created
nine new counties out of former Indian territory.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
“With the renovation, the museum is finally becoming what the
founders wanted it to be,” Buxton says.
26
The building is still the same size, but there’s a lot more “walking
around room” thanks to redesign. One of the Auburn University
engineering and design school classes took the museum on as a
project, proposing that the museum be divided into six different
sections. Another class came in and actually designed the exhibits,
and a retired architecture professor, Dr. Richard Milman, painted
a watercolor mural that depicts the area and its history.
The six sections are East Alabama at work, at war, on the go, at play
and at work, as well as the people of East Alabama. Included in the
sections is a complete parlor from the home of Lee County’s native
son, Gov. William J. Samford, who died in office in 1901. Another
display shows a complete frontier kitchen.
The museum also boasts one of the most complete collections in
existence of Alabama Indestructible Babies, dolls manufactured in
nearby Roanoke, Ala. Ella Smith started the doll business in 1899,
Renovation has been slow because of funding, he notes. The first
two phases, costing about $200,000, were paid for by large contributions. The upcoming third phases, which will cost about
$100,000, are being paid for by a grant from the Charter
Foundation.
Although the number of visitors is increasing every day, Buxton
says most are still from out of town. “People bring relatives and
friends,” he says. “But then, we have local people come in all
the time and say they didn’t know we existed.” o
Civil War Voices – A Musical Event
of a teenage boy dressed in a brass-buttoned Union uniform, musket at his side, stiff and formal and staring straight into the camera.
The boy was Alex Sawhill, the brother of Harris’ maternal greatgrandmother. Killed by a stray bullet, Alex didn’t live to see 19.
Later, he learned about Joe Harris’ diary. Uncle Joe, an Alabama
cotton planter, was a Confederate who might have fought Sawhill
somewhere in some long-forgotten skirmish. In Joe’s last entry,
dated Dec. 31, 1865, he prayed for reconciliation.
A
ttorney Jim Harris, whose roots reach deep into Opelika’s
history, never imagined that reading the spidery scrawls in
a dead man’s diary would lead to his becoming a playwright. The diary belonged to his great-great uncle, Joe Harris, a
reluctant Confederate soldier from Alabama.
Harris is the author of “Civil War Voices,” a musical that made its
debut in March 2008 as a fundraiser for the Museum of East
Alabama. Since that humble introduction, the show has traveled
around the country, appearing in venues from the Ritz Theater in
Talladega to the famed Wolf Trap arts center outside Washington,
D.C.
“I wrote the play in honor of my mom and in memory of my dad,”
he says. “It’s been a wonderful thing to see the musical touch so
many people.”
A r t s
Harris remembers as a boy seeing the faded black-and-white image
Hearing sniffling in the audience, Harris looked up to see several
members of the audience in tears. He realized that combining a few
true stories of the Civil War with original arrangements of the beautiful songs of the period would create a powerful performance. He
approached Mark Hayes, an award-winning concert pianist, composer and arranger, with his idea.
&
As a boy, Harris spent many a school vacation on the Harris family farm near Opelika. Although he grew up in Nebraska, Harris
and his four brothers knew a lot about their family history. Part of
that history included Civil War soldiers on both sides, a reminder
that the two warring sides were really the same people.
Harris began giving talks about the diary, ending with the final
entry—a plea for reconciliation, healing and forgiveness. After giving the talk several times, he added music from the Civil War as he
read the final diary entry.
E n t e r t a i n m e n t
Harris’ parents, John T. and Eleanor Harris, founded the Museum
of East Alabama. Harris’ mother recently celebrated her 100th
birthday, he notes.
Joe’s journey “was one of doubt about the wisdom of secession. He
supported the South, but he still seemed to hold almost no vitriol
or hatred towards the North,” Harris told the Washington Post
before the Wolftrap performance.
27
“One of the biggest breaks I could have ever had was convincing Mark Hayes to be my collaborator,” Harris says. “When
he agreed to work with me, I started thinking, ‘Jeez, maybe
this will have a life.’”
Harris and Hayes combined songs of the period—such as Battle
Hymn of the Republic, Amazing Grace and Sometimes I Feel like
a Motherless Child—with the stories of five individuals who
recorded their wartime experiences in letters and diaries.
The characters represent a cross section of America. Besides Joe
Harris, they include Elizabeth Keckley, Theo and Harriet Perry and
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Keckley was born a slave, bought
her freedom and became Mary Todd Lincoln's closest friend and
personal assistant in the White House. The Perrys were a young
married couple from Texas who were separated by the war, and
Chamberlain was a college professor from Maine who fought to
preserve the Union.
The play follows their lives as the war progresses. Harriet Perry gives
birth to a son a few months after Theo departs to fight in the
war. After the bloody battle of Gettysburg, Chamberlain becomes
a national war hero and accepts the Confederate surrender at
Appomattox.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
Keckley endures the indignity of slavery in early life, but gains her
freedom and moves to Washington, D.C. There she becomes close
friends with the Lincoln family. Her joy at the news of the
Confederate surrender is shattered when President Lincoln is assassinated. And Joe Harris, the passive observer, lives through the war
and delivers a passionate plea for forgiveness as the play ends.
28
Hayes actually played the piano for the Opelika debut. That production was followed by a second performance in 2011 sponsored
by the East Alabama Arts Association.
In between those two performances, “Civil War Voices” gained a
much wider audience. Harris says Hayes had a musical director
friend in New York City, so they sent her a DVD of the show. She
suggested they come to the Big Apple for an “industry reading”
where producers and others from the city’s theater community listen to the actors and musicians.
Then “Civil War Voices” was entered in the Midtown
International Theatre Festival in New York City. Nominated for 11
awards, the production won six. When Virginia’s state theater, the
Barter Theatre, heard about the show’s success, they wanted to be
involved. That launched a series of 30 performances in Virginia,
followed by a run in Charleston, S.C., during Ft. Sumter’s 150th
anniversary. The national tour followed.
Now, Harris and Hayes are negotiating a publishing deal to make
the script and music available for all kinds of groups, from high
schools to community theaters to professional theaters. They plan
to rework the production to include a larger cast.
“A theater like the Barter has to pay equity rates, so they have to be
very careful about costs,” Harris says in explaining why the cast
until now has been kept to five characters.
It’s really no surprise that Opelika was the birthplace of a production that has gone national. The city has a long history of homage
to the arts, with the East Alabama Arts Association offering worldclass performances ranging from comedies such as Monty Python’s
“Spamalot” to the Tschaikowsky St. Petersburg Symphony
Orchestra making its first tour in the U.S.
Opelika is also home to one of the Southeast’s top tourism events,
the Victorian Front Porch Christmas Tour, which takes place every
year in early December. Opelika’s historic Victorian homes are
transformed into a Christmas wonderland with the front porches
on turn-of-the-century homes are transformed by the addition of
life-sized Santas, angels, toys, carousel horses and other figures. The
event has been featured in publications such as Southern Living
and Better Homes and Gardens. o

and innovative art forms. Audiences have seen memorable performances by renowned symphony orchestras, Broadway touring
companies, jazz stars, country singers, contemporary dance
troupes, and even innovative groups such as the Philobolus, an
unusual dance company that morphs into objects and is more like
sculpture than dance.

SportsPlex and Aquatic Center.
Adult Day Center members must be 55 or older. The center

White says members also love exercise, and the center offers a wide
variety of courses for those 55 and over. The Silver Sneakers exercise program, for example, is designed specifically for this age
group. Other programs focus on muscular strength, range of
movement and cardiac health.
Adult Activity Center membership is included in a SportsPlex
membership, or costs $60 for Opelika residents who do not have
a SportsPlex membership. Cost for nonresidents is $75 a year.
For retirees who like to stay really active, the SportsPlex offers activities ranging from swimming to racquetball. Family, single and senior memberships are available as well as daily/guest fees. o

Opelika... the Center of it All
W
here can you live and be just two hours from the
mountains, four hours from the beach, near two
recreational lakes and right in the middle of history?
Right here in Opelika, that’s where. The Georgia and North
Carolina mountains are an easy day trip up I-85, and the sugarwhite beaches of the incredibly beautiful Gulf Coast are just four
hours south. Closer to home, Lake Harding, northeast of Opelika
and Lake Martin to the northwest offer boating, swimming and
camping, just for starters.
And if you are into golfing, you won’t want to miss the many nice
golf courses found in the area, including the Robert Trent Jones
Golf Trail at Grand National, which has received many accolades
such as being ranked the top public golf course in the 2009 Golf

the Opelika Sportsplex and Aquatics Center which sits on 76 acres
and encompasses 6 soccer fields, 5 softball fields, two gymnasiums,
a zero depth pool splash park, walking trails, weight and aerobics
center, an indoor track, and outdoor amphitheater, meeting rooms
and a senior center.
Chewacla State Park, in nearby Auburn, is well worth a trip.
Opelika and Auburn are located right on the “fall line,” where the
If you are a history buff, then you might want to visit the Museum
of East Alabama in the heart of Downtown Opelika. This museum houses over 5,000 artifacts including both 19th and 20th century local, state, and general history items. You might want to relive
some of this almost-forgotten Creek Indian history at Horseshoe
Bend National Military Park northwest of Opelika. Other peaks
of interest might be the First White House of the Confederacy in
nearby Montgomery or the Civil War Naval Museum in
Columbus, Georgia. The Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site
is just a short drive on I-85 from Opelika.
Those interested in military history will also want to make the
trip to nearby Ft. Benning, Georgia, east of Opelika where the
world-class National Infantry Museum allows the visitor to
experience the sights and sounds of wars from the American
Revolution through the Civil War, the World Wars, the
Korean War and the Vietnam War.
We’ve got lakes, mountains, beaches and history all right here
or just a day trip away. We’ve got antebellum homes, an art
museum and world-class golf. For travel and leisure, it’s no
exaggeration to say that Opelika may well be one of the bestkept secrets in the whole country. o
T o u r i s m
Opelika’s early success began with the rail line that ran through
Opelika and was the only direct route between New Orleans and
the Eastern Seaboard. It rapidly became one of the primary trade
lines for shipment of raw cotton from Southern plantations to the
North. Almost overnight, Opelika became a regional hub for commerce. In honor of our rail history, Opelika Main Street and the
merchants on Railroad Avenue host a fun event called On The
Tracks. This elegant night includes the area’s finest restaurants lining Railroad Avenue with the delicious treats and wine tasting trail
that weaves in and out of the quaint and charming shops in
Historic Downtown.

Fiber Optic Cable is Opelika’s Future
W
hen Opelika’s new fiber-optic cable system is complete, the city will be the first in the state of Alabama
to offer ultra-high-speed Internet service to homes—
and one of the first in the country.
According to Beth Ringley of The Motive Group, Opelika is certainly on the leading edge. The Motive Group is currently managing Opelika Power Services.
The smart grid also will be extremely reliable and able to heal itself
during power disturbances.
“Television, Internet and telephone services are kind of the icing on
the cake and will help pay for the project,” Ringley says. “This
cutting-edge technology offers a significant attraction for new
business,” she notes.
The city-owned utility will offer television, Internet and telephone
services to city residents, but Ringley says that’s not the best thing
about the $25-million-plus project.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
“The system will enhance the electric system and services,” she says.
“If you want your home to be more energy efficient, you can allow
the utility to control devices like the thermostat and save money.”
40
This “smart-grid” network is the reason for stringing the fiber-optic
cable to homes in the first place. Smart grids are advanced electrical networks that can improve energy efficiency, enable variable
pricing based on the time of day, and reduce disruptions. They
require digital networks for two-way communications, and computerized meters in homes.
“Electric systems that have this type of infrastructure will see lower
rate increases as the price of electricity increases,” Ringley says.
In other words, Opelika’s new smart grid should help keep energy
prices stable for Opelika Power Services customers because the utility will be able to monitor and respond to varying power demand.
“It’s a great tool for attracting new business to the community,”
Ringley says. “Most high-tech firms and large businesses are looking for ultra-high-speed data delivery.”
Ringley also mentioned that when Chattanooga installed a similar
system to upgrade electric service, a side benefit was the recruitment
of jobs to the community. Corporations, communities and even
countries are pursuing ways to utilize the next generation of broad-
band, a technology seen as the gateway to a new wave of Internetbased products and services.
The project is being funded by a $28.3 million bond issue and will
include construction of a new Opelika Power Services headquarters building.
“Fiber-optic cable is the future,” Ringley says. “Everything will be
fiber all the way to the business and home.”
A myriad of private companies provide cable service, but she says
most don’t use fiber-optic cable.
“And they’re not in a position to upgrade their service, because they
would have to spend millions of dollars,” Ringley adds.
“Somebody’s got to do it.” o

Economic Development in Opelika is Going Strong
T
here’s really no secret why national companies make the
decision to locate in Opelika.
“The industrial success in Opelika is due in large part to the location along the I-85 corridor and to the foresight of the local leadership to invest in the infrastructure system to be prepared and
ready when opportunities arise,” says Lori Huguley, the City
Economic Development Director.
In September 2011, Opelika announced that Pharmavite, the
manufacturer of Nature Made Vitamins, would build a new
330,000-square-foot East Coast manufacturing facility in the
Northeast Opelika Industrial Park. The company, which
announced plans to invest some $76 million and hire 280 employees within the first year of production, is scheduled to start production in January 2013.
the Opelika site and existing buildings in Birmingham and
Montgomery.
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
“The site selection process was very thorough, and we evaluated
several high-quality locations, but ultimately it was clear that
Opelika was the best fit based on the criteria we established for this
location,” Ron Pillsbury, Pharmavite’s vice president for operations,
said at the time of the announcement.
42
Pharmavite will be located on a 50-acre site in the Northeast
Opelika Industrial Park, one of the city’s three industrial parks. The
Northeast Opelika Industrial Park boasts 2,200 acres located along
I-85, with a dedicated exit. The park is complete with needed utility infrastructure and has more than 1,700 acres still available for
future development.
Initially, Pharmavite looked at more than 50 sites from around half
a dozen states, according to news reports. When that total was
whittled down to around a dozen sites, company officials visited
the finalists. The state then had three sites that made the next cut:
“From the high-quality work force to the strong community infrastructure, Opelika met or exceeded our expectations,” he added.
“We’re excited to be joining such a great community.”
Pharmavite produces and distributes more than 120 dietary supplement products in the U.S. and more than 100 internationally
throughout Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, South Korea and Iran. The
new facility is part of Pharmavite’s strategy to capitalize on the
growing global consumer trends on health and wellness and meet
increased demand for its products.
At the announcement, Mark Walsh, Pharmavite’s chief operating
officer, said the new facility would allow manufacturing capacity
undergo three to four hours of dialysis at least three times weekly at
an outpatient clinic.
Building its dialyzer plant in the U.S. supports Gambro’s strategy
of further growth in the expanding market for synthetic dialyzers.
The company has major dialyzer manufacturing plants in
Hechingen, Germany, and Meyzieu, France. U.S. headquarters are
located in Lakewood, Colo.
Gambro company officials say they chose Opelika as the location
for the new plant because it offers a skilled workforce, proximity to
Gambro’s customers, and a potential pool of university-trained
experts from nearby Auburn University, one of Alabama’s largest
universities.
Opelika has also been very fortunate with development on the
commercial front as well, Huguley says.
near the East Coast markets that make up a significant portion of
the company’s business. The company’s headquarters are in
Northridge, Calif.
Huguley says existing automotive suppliers Mando, Hanwha and
Daewon also have recently announced expansions to the tune of
more than $33 million, adding some 70 additional employees.
Additionally, automotive support industries Hana Automation
and Nalara have located in Opelika and have invested over $1 million and will create up to 100 jobs, she says.
Opelika is located midway between two major automotive
plants—Kia in West Point, Ga., and Hyundai in Montgomery—
making the city an attractive location for suppliers.
I n d u s t r y
The 100,000-square-foot Gambro facility is located in the 300acre Fox Run Business Park, which fronts on I-85 and runs along
U.S. Highway 431. The facility produces Polyflux® dialyzers, a
key component in the process of kidney dialysis for patients who
The area around Tiger Town is also growing, she says, and later this
year Gander Mountain will begin construction in the area. The
Minnesota-based chain specializes in outdoors sporting gear and
has more than 100 stores in 23 states. o
&
“Gambro has been well pleased with the workforce they have cultivated and has hired 170 associates,” she adds.
“Tiger Town has been a resounding retail success story,” she says.
“It is continuing to grow with two new additions currently under
construction.”
B u s i n e s s
Opelika is also home to Gambro Renal Products, a Swedish manufacturer of renal and cell-based therapies. Huguley says the
Gambro plant was the single largest industrial capital investment in
Lee County, exceeding $165 million in U.S. dollars.

My Jerusalem – Rebuilding Broken Walls by Lending a Hand
T
wice a year, area churches, campus ministries and individuals come together to do home repairs, painting and
yard work for the elderly, the disabled and others who
need help in Opelika and Auburn. The event, called “My
Jerusalem,” is a project put on by a local ministry founded by
Shane Kyles, a former code enforcement officer for the city of
Opelika and a former Lee County probation officer.
“Basically, the event came out of the story in the Bible, Nehemiah
2:17,” said Kyles. “Nehemiah said, let’s rebuild the walls that are
broken so the people won’t be in disgrace anymore, so we’re
rebuilding the broken walls of our city—the homes of people who
can’t afford to have them repaired.”
As many as 800 volunteers from area churches and campus ministries have come out for the biannual work day. Volunteers got to
work hammering and painting at more than 30 sites. Other vol-

unteers staged two block parties, one at a trailer park in nearby
Beulah and another at an apartment complex in Auburn.
“It’s a day when anybody can serve, no matter their gifts,” said
Kyles. “We do projects from re-roofing a house to giving cookies to
shut-ins. This time we had a couple of roof jobs, some holes in the
floor, and some people needing wheelchair ramps.”
“Block parties take place in neighborhoods,” Kyle said, “where people need to feel the love of Jesus.” At the block parties, volunteers
cook hamburgers and hot dogs, serve sno-cones and man blow-up
games for kids.
“It’s like a small fair,” he says. “We get a lot of kids and their parents out. Usually we do a project in a neighborhood that doesn’t get
a lot of attention, so the kids come out and wonder why we’re
working for free.”
w w w . o p e l i k a . c o m
The block parties are a form of outreach, Kyles smiles. Some of
those kids end up hanging around, and several young men even
started a Bible study group with the ministry.
48
“They came out of gangs and pretty rough households, and now
they see some hope,” Kyles says. “They saw someone showing love
to someone in their community, and they wanted a part of it.”
Kyles, 37, officially started The Way Ministries—not affiliated with
The Way International—two years ago, but he’s been doing this
kind of work for about six years. His background in law enforcement has led to some funny incidents.
“For one of our first projects, we went out to widen a bathroom
door for a man with no legs who was in a wheelchair,” he recalls.
“His son came out with his fists balled up and insisted he wasn’t
going back to jail!”
Kyles had met the son in his previous job as a probation officer.
“The good thing is we spent time there, which led to a relationship
where years down the road the guy, his sister and his dad all became
like family to me,” he said.
Referrals come from various sources, including churches, home
health nurses and even the Opelika mayor’s office.
“The mayor told me about a house right in the middle of town
that was so hidden by wisteria that everyone thought it was abandoned,” Kyles remembers.
He recalls an elderly woman occupying the house; however,
and Kyles said she didn’t even realize she was living in a “natural disaster.”
“We cut down the wisteria and painted her house, and she said she
was just thankful to see the sun coming through her windows
again,” he remembers. “For us, it’s really a blessing to get outside of
yourself and serve.” o
