One of Alabama's most magical Christmas train rides takes you on the North Pole Express at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum out of Calera, Alabama. You ride through the dark toward a glowing North Pole while a storyteller reads a Christmas tale and carols play in the background. When the train reaches the lights, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves hop on to meet everyone and take photos. After the visit, you get hot chocolate or chocolate milk and a fresh bakery treat, based on your car. Every family also gets a collectible ornament. The whole trip lasts about an hour and a half and fills you with holiday cheer.

We extend our sincere sympathies to the family, friends, and colleagues of Conservation Enforcement Officer Senior Shawn Nixon, who passed away while on duty.

CEO Nixon, a native of Lincoln, Alabama, and stationed in Talladega County, served Alabama's citizens with dependable responsiveness and equitable enforcement of wildlife laws since 2012. Nixon's steadfast commitment to conservation and to the citizens of Alabama was evident in the ex*****on of his duties and in his interactions with the public. We are thankful to have shared in CEO Nixon's friendship and career.

This morning, SRO Eaton took traffic duty to a whole new level — showing up ready to serve and protect (and maybe fight a little crime in the sewers) in true Ninja Turtle style! 🐢

We appreciate our School Resource Officers for keeping things safe — and keeping a sense of humor while doing it.

We’ve noticed an increase in vehicles parked in handicap spaces and loading zones at our shopping centers. These spaces aren’t just convenient spots — they’re essential for those who depend on them.

Please be mindful and considerate when parking. Using these areas without proper authorization not only creates challenges for others but can also result in a citation or your vehicle being towed at your expense.

Just because you hit 88 mph on I-65 doesn’t mean you’re going Back to the Future.

It just means you’re about to meet Trooper McFly… and his ticket book.

Unfortunately, speeding won’t time-travel you out of traffic, fix your flux capacitor, or get you to work before your boss notices. It will, however, cost you some serious plutonium (also known as $$$).

So, let’s keep it safe out there, Calera. Save the time travel for the movies.
