City of Albemarle issued the following announcement on March 1.
We want to hear from you! The City of Albemarle is creating a new public gathering space in the alleyway which stretches from West Main Street to King Avenue (near the old Davis Drug building).
The alleyway will undergo a transformation into a pedestrian plaza with lighting, seating, public art, and the potential for other amenities.
The alleyway has a long history dating back to when it was a road that surrounded the courthouse originally located where the intersection at the square now exists. The original hitching post for horses still exists in the alley today.
We'd like to know what you believe the alleyway should be called. Use the form in the link to send us your suggestion for the alleyway name and a short explanation for it no later than March 15. City Council will review the suggestions and determine the name.
Some of the suggested names so far are: King Alley, Falcon Alley, Hitching Post Alley, The Hitching Post, and Courthouse Square Alley.
