I live in Slapout, Alabama and we are no longer just a little crossroads. We now boast 3 restuarants, 4 churches, carpet & tile store, propane supplier, hair salon in addition to the barber shop, a tire and auto repair, a massage therapisy, tanning salon, a video store, dollar store, drug store,produce stand, elementary, middle and high schools, and a small grocery store in the place of the old Peeples' store (which, by the way, had a dirt floor and only a screen door). Slapout has become a thriving lake community and is considered the capital of Lake Jordan.
