re: It must suck to live in Alabama

The foothills of the Appilchians and sugar sand beaches that are overrun with lsu flags in the summer. Gotta love it. As a resident of the Birmingham metro area, I can be in the smokies, gulf shores/the emeralds coast of Florida, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Nashville all under a 5.5 hour drive. Maybe not the epicenter of cultural greatness but I can be anywhere and do just about anything in my backyard.

Spot n my friend. I am from south Louisiana and went to Ole Miss and have lived all over in the Navy but in the southi have lived in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi and absolutely loved each and everyplace I lived in the south. The entire South is gorgeous to me, I love the people everywhere.

Now let's talk about real issues. I lived in Detroit for 2 years on a coastguard exchange tour. We went to the mall, my pregnant wife, my 2 year old son and I, and I said, "Merry Christmas" to an elderly woman who had more packages than she could carry. She said nothing back and just put her head down!Being a southerner I asked if she needed help getting her packages to her car, she dropped 2 packages and ran to her car with what shehas a grip on at the time. I waited outside the mall watching her packages so nothing would happen to them while she did return in her car and gathered them like I was going to rape her! I was with my heavily pregnant wife and 2 year old son at this time! She jumped out of her car got the packages and hauled arse. My wife and I knew we were now in a foreign country! That was 35 years ago! So give me the south anytime.

As for me I say Roll Tide! If not the Tide the GEORGIA bulldogs, even that tastes icky! Lol.

I'm just glad we don't live next to "Lousyana". We have the good folks of Mississippi between us.

I like living in Alabama.The Southern part of the State is flat as a pancake and over-run with Deer and Turkey to hunt.

The Northern half of the State has Mountains,Canyons,waterfalls,and Caverns.

The vast majority of people here would help a stranger because it's the right thing to do.

Just like any other State there are ignorant people here that make Alabama look bad.I think that can be said of any State though.

Please get the word out to prevent others from coming here and suffering our fate.

I’ve been damn near everywhere in Alabama.

I also did qual. in Ft. Polk, and I can say without a doubt that Leesville and Shreveport are the top two scummiest, dirtiest, shitholes I’ve ever been in. And that includes rival shitholes Barstow, CA and Najaf, Iraq.

I can only conclude that Louisiana is one of the two states in the union (the other being Mississippi) that can actually be improved upon by funneling illegal immigrants from Mexico.

I live in Huntsville as well. I love it here

Not really any worse than living in the other SEC states.

Alabama is fricking Napa compared to Louisiana

No, actually it's nice to live there. Coastal areas/beaches across the southern portion; lots of rivers, streams, and lakes for fishing. Deer, turkey, dove, and quail everywhere. Cheap land, low taxes and cost of living. Some hills in the north, which is a couple hours from Nashville and Atlanta.

Lots of competitive football too.
