I guess so. I'm not going to argue they are better than Hawaii or parts of the Carribean, but they're certainly prettier than the Atlantic or most of the Pacific (the beach, not necessarily everything around it).
That is assuming you like white sand, though I guess I just assumed that's what everyone liked.
I personally like the South Carolina coast better, but that's because of the old cities, food, marshes, etc. The beach itself is basically dark brown pavement.

Wait, this isn't a well accepted thing?

Alabama beaches are nice.

Exactly, not sure what standards she is using but I cringe when I talk to some people headed to certain parts Florida when they could get something just as good if not better much closer.

I think some people just want to lump all beaches in Mississippi and Alabama together.

No, the OP is talking about Metropolitan Statistical Areas, so he's correct.
He is, but that doesn't make town A larger than town B like he's stating. Regardless of statistical data, Starkville area has more residents within a 25 mile radius than the Oxford area does. You can't disprove that fact unless you can move terra firma.

They are indeed.

I think you should know by now I love to have fun.
Maybe it's my rapidly advancing age (wah) and the fact that I've done the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores/Pensacola (yes I know that's FL) several times since my 20's and I've gotten to the point of been there/done that same shite/different year. It's been at least 10 years since I've been and I highly doubt I ever go back. And maybe also now that I've been to some places that were actually gorgeous/interesting (to me), and different and felt like I was really vacationing unlike what I consider boring beach trips.

All trolling aside, Auburn is unrecognizable every time I go there. Place is booming and pretty chill. I try to make it down there every once in a while to play at the RTJ course.
Tuscaloosa's downtown has changed a lot, but it's impossible to drive around because of all the road work.

I did some Googling and it appears you are correct. Columbus, MS would be another town within 25 miles of Starkville and that alone probably puts it over the top as far as "25-mile radius" of population goes.

We are lucky in that most of our growth came after cities started requiring landscaping and other aesthetic standards. Most of NWA towns look nicer by comparison, but its just a function of when we hit our growth spurt.
I think most everything you've described could be explained by just saying "it's newer". So is far West LR and most of Maumelle. But preferring newer development is also a contributing cause of urban sprawl.

Hell, even stinky ole Springdale has stronger development codes nowadays.
I can remember when NWA residents would brag about Springdale, but now it's often mentioned as a blight on the region.

What, exactly, is this near useless statistic supposed to prove?
It proves 2 things:
1. A good comparison as to what is happening in the SEC's towns over the past few years in terms of growth and progress
2. Baton Rouge is just as crappy as LSU's fans
Nah. All this proves is that the population of college towns grows rapidly as admissions standards are lowered and more toothless north Georgia inbreds are allowed to enroll in Athens.

When does all this growth in NW Arkansas translate in to more in state recruits? That's when this will matter.

I enjoy Nashville's growth but then again I live near downtown. 
Seeing my home triple in value w/n 10 years has been an amazing experience.
As for the board, I imagine more population===bigger talent pool. Nashville's really making its mark in bball and football talent.

I used to live in downtown Nashville. Moved to the burbs a few years ago and now it’s very rare I go into town. And if I’m being honest, I don’t miss it at all. Unfortunately for my wife and I, we weren’t as fortunate as you and bought our house after home prices were already outrageous

If you have a family, it's one thing. I'm a bachelor so I enjoy going to wine tastings, the downtown library, Frist museum, etc. I take the bus most days, and just read my book during the rides.
