Mark and Lisa discuss the wild past of Phenix City, AL. Dubbed the Wickedest City in America, Phenix City was once home to gamblers, gangsters, and crooked politicians.
In 1954, the shooting death of Albert Patterson, the Attorney General nominee, would rock the state and force the Governor to issue Martial Rule on the violent city.
