The last trip that took me through Montgomery was around 2005/06. I found the area to be pretty dead and felt like a zombie myself wondering the empty streets for a victim to eat. Overall, this time around, the downtown area was still pretty void of major pedestrian activity. However, the couple of blocks where the convention center, the bars/restaurants in the Alley project and the ballpark are located where active. There also seemed to be two or three more large hotels in the area than what I remember from the earlier visit. On the way back to Jax, I went south towards Dothan. That route took me through a pretty nice late 19th century residential district that was architecturally similar to Springfield. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to stop and explore it.
