Al.com reports that Auburn is a top 10 city in the Yellow Hammer State. Guess what city didn't make the cut.

Does this explain why recruits love Auburn?

We used 22 different measures, from FBI crime reports, health data from government sources and insurers, the U.S. Census and state departments of education, among others. We used data compiled over the years by the Birmingham News. We looked at money and parks, tax rates, unemployment and commute times. We factored in access to art and entertainment. We looked at dog parks and diversity.

I'm usually not one to cast stones, but Birmingham is a dump.

Mardi Gras is fun and all, but no one worth a damn would move to a city because they have the world's largest party.

I'd rather live in a nice house in Mountain Brook or Vestavia than a shithole in New Orleans.

They could have said "Birmingham Suburbs" and done the trick.

What's their problem with Huntsville or the Muscle Shoals/Florence area?

ETA: Or Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Point Clear?

Best part of Alabama is the east Bay area (Daphne, Fairhope, Foley, Gulf Shores, Robertsdale).

Montgomery makes BR look like Oz.

Alabama fricking sucks to live in. The Bay Area is alright but that's it.
