After the Summer months the time in

Q. In Wednesday's newspaper, you said that all of Alabama is in
the Central time zone. I've heard that
Phenix City
next to the Georgia line is actually in the Eastern time zone. Which
is true?
A. Well, both answers are correct, sort of. While all of Alabama
is officially part of the Central time zone, a few towns on the
state's eastern border with Georgia, such as Phenix City
in Russell County, Lanett in Chambers County and some towns in Lee
County, set their watches and clocks on Eastern time, said H.H.
"Bubba" Roberts, city administrator in Phenix City.
"We are in the Central time zone, but we do go by the Eastern time
zone because so many people work in
Columbus,"
Georgia, which is on
Eastern time.
