Can't imagine living in Bama though, that would be the suck.


It's sort of like Texas, but with more trees and fewer Mexicans.

See this is one of the big negatives on Alabama. No Mexicans means no Mexican food. One of best friends lived in Birmingham and more recently moved outside Savannah and the lack of edible Mexican food is almost too great a torture to bear. Combine that with the complete lack of understanding that a brisket is the pinnacle of great BBQ and it's brutal.

Texas also has plenty of trees, especially East Texas. You could easily travel through East Texas and think you are in Alabama.

I do like the Gulf Coast of Bama but it's a pretty small part of the state. There are some nice small towns and Mobile is ok I suppose but Montgomery and Birmingham are pretty terrible and without a lot to get excited about.

Texas is just big and diverse, about the only thing we don't really have is mountains (and the beaches are kind of blah for the most part).
