Gardendale is very focused on community and having everyone being involved. There are plenty of places grab fast food and gas, but I think residents of Gdale, as we like to call it, would like to see nicer restaurants and more activities throughout the city.
Gardendale has been a very nice place to live, and they are doing a lot of new construction which is very exciting. However, I would love for them to create more places for families and friends to spend time together. Around gardendale there are really only fast food places to eat and no true place to spend quality time with those around us.
Gardendale has a very safe environment, and everyone that visits feels welcome. There are places to eat for everyone, and there are many places to shop for anything you might need.
