We believe that Montgomery is full of people with good ideas! We also recognize that there is often not funding to be able to make important projects a reality. So we pulled together 20 people who were willing to contribute $100 every month in order to see good things happen here. We look forward to hearing your idea and seeing it become a reality!

The idea was born from one of our Idea Share monthly meetings to give the city and the people active an opportunity to freely create, promote, and voice. We are excited to bring this to Montgomery and see what stories and efforts are born in The Downtown Podcast Studio. Access to the studio is free from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday.

The Civil Heritage Trail connects twelve historic sites in Downtown Montgomery that played pivotal roles related either to the American Civil War or the American Civil Rights Movement, dual stories of strife and triumph. This walking and biking trail covers 2.5 miles through the downtown area of the Capital City. Each site is marked with a blue bike rack engraved with the Civil Heritage Trail seal and the City of Montgomery logo. Click for more info!

Idea Share is the DBA’s open forum for you to share new ideas, voice concerns for the city, discuss the upcoming events and life of Downtown, brainstorm how to make our businesses grow and collaborate to see Montgomery thrive. These are monthly meetings and open to the public. Please check our homepage for the next meeting date, time and location!

#CashMobMGM is a community that comes together to spend cash in one place, at one time to support a locally owned and operated establishment. Our goal is to create a friendly and encouraging community that encourages and actively promotes local commerce! Bring the specified cash amount and get deals on food, merchandise, or services. We meet once a month so check our home page calendar for details. http://www.cashmob.com/

There are over 20,000 employees that work in Downtown Montgomery everyday, and a lot of them park in parking decks and work in very small offices---in very BIG buildings. So, where do they lunch? What do they eat? What if we had a public transit option that was consistent, reliable, fun, safe and took people from their desk to a plate? Enter U-Go MGM!

The DBA has partnered with Helicity, a local non-profit, in order to bring pop-up shops to abandoned and underutilized commercial storefronts throughout the Downtown area. This brings energy and vibrancy to an otherwise unused commercial space. If you are interested in being a part of this effort, email us and let's start talking! http://www.popuphood.com/
