Make it harder for burglars.Smart Phone Security. Make cameras visible and install them in more places than the front door. You can access your security cameras anytime, anywhere and get alerts when visitors are detected.

The Floral Dog Park in Opelika, AL is a really nice place to take your dog to play with other dogs. It is also a great place to meet really nice people. The Floral Dog Park has 2 fenced in areas. One area is for small dogs and the other area is for larger dogs.  Floral Park is one of my dog's favorite places to go. He loves to run and play off-leash which is a great outlet for his overabundant energy.  Location is 600 Floral Street in Opelika, AL.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburnwww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate.com

It is located halfway down Park Road at Opelika Municipal Park, which is off North 5th Street in the city of Opelika.During its time over Wacoochee Creek, the Salem-Shotwell Covered bridge is said to be haunted by children that were killing in a car accident. The original bridge was the site of the tragedy when a woman and her two children were crossing it in a car and the bridge collapsed. All three people were killed. Urban legend has it that if you put candy on the edge of it at night, by the light of your car headlights you will see the ghost children come to collect it.Many ...
