BRUNDIDGE TROY MONTGOMERY L—OCclt IOn . Troy. Alabama, lies in what is commonly known as the Heart of Dixie. But. living in Dixie does not necessitate listening to country mu- sic, wearing cowboy boots, and chewing tobacco. Moreover, being only one hour south of Montgomery and one hour north of Dothan, Troy ' s locale is ideal for those who want the peacef ulness of a quiet town with access to the big city life. In addition, just two hours south, the Florida gulf coast welcomes visitors who love to frolic in the sun and surf on lazy weekends and spring holidays. Troy ' s residents are full of that ever famous south- em hospitality. They support TSU students, faculty, and staff enthusiastically in all of the cultural, civic, social, and church functions the school holds. Alumni from all around the area participate in all of the Trojan activities and even help recruit prospective students to Troy. Highway 231 is the main strip through Troy and leads to other, larger cities. It accommodates stu- dents and residents alike with a variety of fast food restaurants and shopping areas. Just outside of Troy, the Pike County Museum brings back a thought of nostalgia to metropolitan Troy as its old decor re- minds us of a past too easily forgotten and a future anxiously lying ahead of us. Though Troy, population 15,000 is small in com- parison to other university towns, its warm, friendly residents and its convenient location are merely two of the many reasons people choose to be a TSU Trojan. Home is where you make it. Often, its love and pleasantness reflects the homemaker. Troy State stu- dents have made Troy, Alabama, their home and, in doing so, they have made TSU Alabama ' s most ex- citing campus. Op«wng 9
