This video, created by Nelly Valdez in 2022 as an RHS student, was taken to Birmingham for a presentation with Main Street Alabama. While we wouldn’t be successful in bringing home the Designated City status until a year later, this set us up to create a whole new tier for Main Street Alabama, as we were the first-ever “Aspiring City.” 

We hope it inspires everyone to join in the  efforts, truly reminding us that "We are all in this together.” It’s worth a 7-minute watch.
