I knew a guy that was diagnosed with that.
I was thinking it was a dish at the local Greek food joint, but you are probably right.
Greeks love lamb, that makes it OK by me!

A little trivia here….
Huntsville had an ordinance for many years that prohibited buildings from being taller than 10 stories in downtown (although there are a couple of buildings with 11 or 12 stories). Supposedly the hoity toity folks didn’t want the tall buildings obstructing their view. The ordinance has since been repealed, but no tall buildings have been constructed here.
I happen to like tall buildings.

Good thing those never got built. There aren’t enough people working downtown to support the office space that already exists.

The Shepherd Centre would have more than doubled the available downtown office space. If I remember correctly, the developer was planning to move forward if a doctors group had committed to being the primary tenant.
The Blocks development was kind of questionable from the beginning. It was supposed to be some type of sports and entertainment complex owned by TUF (the ultimate fan?), a group of professional athletes investing in real estate. Their website still exists.

Not really any reason to with most of the economy still centered on Redstone and Cummins Research Park. I'm thinking that will change in the near future with Huntsville continuing to grow and becoming the new focal point of industry and commerce in Alabama.
I was already surprised how much downtown had filled in when I was in town last year visiting family.
