Phenix City
Sitting on the western bank of the Chattahoochee River directly across from Columbus, Georgia, Phenix City is an Alabama town with a walkable centre, a concentration of historic churches and listed buildings, and a riverfront setting. The city runs on Eastern Time rather than Central — an unusual arrangement for Alabama, reflecting its close economic ties to Columbus. Chattahoochee Valley Community College and a Troy University satellite campus both operate here.
