It's been nearly five years since West Pace LLC settled a $21 million dollar lawsuit against the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Since that time the "upscale" development has grown to include three car dealerships, a gas station, a package store, a collision center, a car rental agency and a cell tower.
We’re doing it wrong! There's a popular catchphrase on the net these days to describe pictures of people caught in absurd situations (think of President Bush with an up-side-down phone to his ear). When someone finds such an image they tag it with the phrase, "You're doing it wrong!" When it comes to protecting our water resources, Alabama, "We're doing it wrong!"
