To be fair, Lee County is in West Georgia, right? At least according to ESPN. 
Alabama is just about like any other state. There are places you want to be and places you do not want to be. That's also true for just about any city you could name.
Overall, Alabama's a pretty nice place. Biodiversity is off the charts with tons of outdoor activities. The golf is first class and attracts people from all over the world. Sugar sand beaches. Areas of high technology and low overall costs of living. Property taxes are about as low across the board as you will find.
Do we have problems? Sure. But so most places do, there is no perfect state or city. Not one. I live just outside the Huntsville area and think it is pretty nice. I can't claim to have been throughout the ENTIRE SEC footprint but I have been to most of the areas. There are a LOT of great places to live in the South, and I tend to think that north Alabama holds its own pretty well.

If only we could force the batshits to have to pass a written test to vote.

Spot n my friend. I am from south Louisiana and went to Ole Miss and have lived all over in the Navy but in the southi have lived in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi and absolutely loved each and everyplace I lived in the south. The entire South is gorgeous to me, I love the people everywhere.
Now let's talk about real issues. I lived in Detroit for 2 years on a coastguard exchange tour. We went to the mall, my pregnant wife, my 2 year old son and I, and I said, "Merry Christmas" to an elderly woman who had more packages than she could carry. She said nothing back and just put her head down!Being a southerner I asked if she needed help getting her packages to her car, she dropped 2 packages and ran to her car with what shehas a grip on at the time. I waited outside the mall watching her packages so nothing would happen to them while she did return in her car and gathered them like I was going to rape her! I was with my heavily pregnant wife and 2 year old son at this time! She jumped out of her car got the packages and hauled arse. My wife and I knew we were now in a foreign country! That was 35 years ago! So give me the south anytime.
As for me I say Roll Tide! If not the Tide the GEORGIA bulldogs, even that tastes icky! Lol.
