At least Mississippi has the competence to build dams, create lakes, and give their citizens actual state parks

Louisiana wins on economy. It has double the GDP of Mississippi, equal to Alabama, while it has a higher per capital GDP than Bama. Bama has beaches and some nice Appalachian foothills areas, but little else. New Orleans is amazing to visit, but terrible as a place to live. All three are brought down by their northern regions.

What?

If anything Alabama gets most of the hate directed towards southern states from non-southerners


I am of the opinion that Alabama got enough national publicity to last a century during the 60s.

These days we say very quiet except for football season.

Any national movement like Black Lives Matter and the like we just say, "Nah, we're good." which surprised the outside agitators that tried to start something in Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile. Benjamin Crump tried to start something in Decatur a few years back and was politley asked to leave by the locals.

We don't even participate in the barbecue wars.

We keep ourselves to ourselves.

We never get too high. Never get too low. Just quietly go about the business of living.

It's honestly a great place to live because of that.

but the others have Shreveport, Montgomery, New Orleans, Birmingham, etc. You get the picture. The best is Mississippi by a mile. The worst is Alabama.

It is always pretty obvious to me when I see Birmingham lumped in with undesirable cities, that the OP has never actually spent much if any time here. The number of parks and hiking trails around here along with all the incredible suburbs and neighborhoods makes it one of the best places to live in the southeast. I discover new cool things to do around here every week.

While I’m on the record here as “voting” for Louisiana, the greater Huntsville region doesn’t bring Alabama’s stock down.
