You don't want to move to Huntsville.

It is terrible, best to never mention it again.

Seriously.... Traffic seems to get worse every week with all you bastards moving in.

How do they figure 444K in the Huntsville metro area? That number seems very inflated as the lastest population figures for Huntsville is only 194K.

That federal court order and all that bussing is killing Huntsville City Schools.

There’s a reason Randolph is exploding.

Did they lump the Shoals and Decatur in with Huntsville? That would explain the affordability. If I had to live in Huntsville, I'd pass, and live somewhere on Lake Guntersville.

I never really looked at any Huntsville City Schools. My kids are zoned in the Bob Jones area. Seemed pretty good to me.

I'm not a commie.

I'm a realist.

I do not believe any of the myths about creator God or virgin birth so the birthday of fakenews son of God the Father is just too silly for me.

Love the lights.
Some great music.
