It still blows my mind that the center of Austro-libertarian thought in the United States is in...Auburn.

Yep, my degree is economics. We always had great professors, especially ones who would come to the Institute on a sabbatical and teach one or two classes

Gordon, right? I think he's the only faculty at Auburn who is also a fellow at the LvMI.

Not a terrible band although I haven't listened to them in a while. My brother who is about as far as you can possibly get from being a stoner, druggie, or hippie turned me on to WSP in the very early 90s. I was never a die hard fan but do like a lot of their music and have been to a few shows. They are right up there with the very best bands to come out of Athens. They had a very unique sound especially during the Houser era.

My man

I know I had Joseph Salerno who is the VP

Can't remember a lot of my professors off the top of my head except a few that weren't in the Mises like Mike Stern, his wife, Randy Beard

I don't remember having a Gordon but I was there four years starting in 07

Lexington (along with Bourbon and Woodford Counties, which are contiguous): like 90% of derby winners or horses you've ever heard of

Not sure if it counts as coming out of the town but the Mises Institute is a favorite of mine in Auburn

This would have been my choice for AU. As far as bands go, there's always these guys.

I'd pick Sela Ward as the best thing to come out of Tuscaloosa, except she's actually from Meridian, so she doesn't count. But here's a pic of her anyway:

let's not forget Eric O'Neill who helped bring down a traitor who was selling information to the Russians
