Well done.

I’d take St. Augustine over all these towns
Posted on 6/26/19 at 8:50 pm to deltacoon
Tupelo? 
Posted on 6/26/19 at 8:51 pm to deltacoon
Lafayette, La belongs somewhere on there
Posted on 6/26/19 at 8:51 pm to deltacoon
Charleston and Chattanooga are shitholes
Posted on 6/26/19 at 8:53 pm to deltacoon
I think Little Rock is better than listed.

Huntsville could easily overtake B'ham as the best city in the state in the not so distant future

You have Jackson, MS listed way too high.
Posted on 6/26/19 at 9:07 pm to deltacoon
Springfield, Mo????
Posted on 6/26/19 at 9:08 pm to deltacoon
No offense to any Tennesseans, but Chattanooga?

It already has

Southaven is the city of the future in MS but that's thanks to Memphis being Memphis. Tupelo imo has the best leadership rn but Jackson may stop progress like they usually do
Posted on 6/26/19 at 9:14 pm to deltacoon
Greenville, SC should be in 1st tier.

Huntsville has already overtaken Birmingham as "best" city. There's just not as much to do close by. Birmingham is going through a revival though right now and once the young people that have been gentrifying and rebuilding start getting elected to city offices, it will once again be the best city.

Chattanooga is a ghetto shithole now.
Posted on 6/26/19 at 9:16 pm to deltacoon

Huntsville sucks.
Huntsville is a giant shithole, basically the Detroit of the South. It used to be nice but since the Space Race ended everyone with money left. I've been to "transitioning" neighborhoods in Atlanta that are like Manhattan compared to Huntsville. Weekly tornados, my Godparent's son's elementary school was leveled by one. Take the worst parts of Memphis (Orange Mound, Blackhaven) and cross it with southeast DC and you have the nice parts of Huntsville. The crime cannot even be compared to Shitcago; its more like Ciudad Juarez or Pech River Valley in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. The humidity is only rivaled by Central American rain forests, the mosquitoes are the size of hummingbirds, trash lines the streets - I saw cleaner neighborhoods in south Baghdad in 2005, and the rolling blackouts are only relieved by brownouts.
The Parkway and I-565 make I-495 Rush Hour traffic around DC look like the Daytona 500. Speaking of NASCAR, good luck finding anything open on Sunday - when the state shuts down to watch the race - or on Saturday - when the state shuts down to watch 18-22 year old boys in tight pants play football. When you move there they force you to convert to Southern Baptist. We were driving thru New Hope, AL and I got a ticket because my wife was in the passenger seat and not in the back seat like the Southern Baptist Convention dictates.
And snakes... Water Moccasins everywhere. You could walk across the Tennessee River on the Water Moccasins if they didn't consume you whole while attempting to. The only schools rated worse in the US than Huntsville City, Madison City, and Madison County School Districts are on the Indian Reservations in AZ and in Sunflower and Issaquena Counties in Mississippi.
I don't understand why there isn't a sewage system for a city that big, and all the shallow dug septic tasks give the city an awful stench. And the faucet water tastes like byproduct from an old paper mill converted into a dog food factory.
I almost forgot to add that the mayor and city council make Bill de Blasio look like the second coming of Reagan, the only cable channel available is MSNBC, and the "gifted" high school accesses the internet via a dial up connection courtesy of an AOL CD found during clean up of the Great Tornado of '98
