Having a unique culture,


Very true. Nice to come visit. Not to live. Like Mexico has unique culture and people that speak funny. Still wouldnt want to live or raise a family there.

world-class food
No doubt! La. wins hands down! (except for gumbo. Gumbo in Mobile/Gulf Shores is muchg better than La. gumbo, to me. Not watered down like soup)

quote:

distinct music,


Very true. Mobile has Jimmy Buffet. He has a distinct sound! I'll give you that one too! La. wins on music.

quote:

and a lot more places to party


Outside of New Orleans, La. is a horrible place to party. New Orleans is fun to party for a night or so, but you might get murdered.
Alabama bars stay open 24/7. BIG PLUS! No closing at 2:00am like pussies. Plus you can party on the beach. Dont see as many people flocking to New Orleans in the Summer as you do Gulf Shores. Plus Alabama started Mardi Gras! I'd say its a push.

nearly the same accents...


pssst, most all other southern states sound the same. La. sounds like you need a passport. Like a poor mans franch.


Again, I have lived in both for long periods of time and hate to say, but Alabama has a much better quality of life. Alot cleaner and more to do. Just a fact.

I guess you've never been to Lafayette, Nachitoches, Bossier City, or the Florida parishes?

Alabama has a beach AKA "The Redneck Riviera" as coined by Jimmy Buffett. I will give you the beaches...but why you would choose Alabama beaches over either Florida or Mississippi beaches is beyond me.

There are plenty of nice places to live and raise a family in Louisiana. But the topic of this thread is "What in hell is there to do in Alabama?"

Louisiana wins in this category, for all the reasons I and others have listed. Alabama is a nice place, but it's part of a region.

Louisiana stands out from it's neighbors. Alabama, not so much.
