Not bad for a shithole.

ok. lets have a crawfish boiling contest or prep for a hurricane. We win in both.

unless this is put out by the government it is pure speculation. Minnesota being five is sus.

The actual best are probably those in the 15-30 range.

And I still don't think you can get liquor at SLC airport. And the tap beer is all some Utah local shite that is like 2.5% alcohol or something. Might otherwise be a great place to live but who wants to live in a place where you can't get smashed at the airport on your layover?

if you lived there, you'd never have a layover there.

Wrong on a couple of fronts. First, the near-beer thing no longer exists. Second, try White Horse at the SLC airport or any number of brew pubs if intent on getting hammered at the airport.

Only weird liquor law that exists today is that you can’t get a double when ordering a cocktail.

BUT, offsetting that negative is a huge positive in that every restaurant has to allow you to bring in your own bottle of wine (and most do not charge you a corkage fee).

Alabama’s role at the center of the Civil War and later the civil rights movement lends it an occasionally painful, complicated history.

I find posts like that funny b/c it's usually people who have never spent time in a place but hear about the politics on the internet and instantly think it sucks.

First time??

Anyone with half a brain that travels outside of the Gulf South can realize this. I recently spent time in the Bay Area of CA and enjoyed it immensely. But if all you watch is Fox News/the OT, you would never realize how nice of an area it is. Like someone else said, its not like you walk out of your front door and are hit with liberal BS. But that's what the PFG/Aldean crowds here believe as gospel.

I live in SELA, and the only thing keeping me here is work and my aging parents. I am encouraging my kids to go off to college and never come back.

It is depressing to visit anywhere else in the country and then return home to our shithole state and do-nothing politicians.
