3). Honestly, Birmingham is underrated, if you don’t want to deal with Atlanta’s bull crap and Nashville is an overpriced/overrated cesspit of a city




Birmingham has such little bro envy with Atlanta and Nashville it’s so funny.



And Birmingham fricking blows and is filled with a bunch of try hard losers that are upset they don’t live in a bigger, major city. Enjoy your Stallions games and Top Golf.

Unless things have changed, it has no actual international flights.


New Orleans has direct to Mexico, Panama, Frankfurt and London. Truly international. Also, it has lots of good regional deals.

Alabama really doesn’t have anything close. People actually go from bham and Montgomery to fly out of Atlanta.

Alabama is an absolute shithole full of inbreds. There's nothing redeeming about it.

Especially Huntsville. Huntsville is horrible and no one should ever want to live there. It's worse than Baton Rouge and New Orleans combined.

Alabama is easily a better state than Louisiana these days. It's not even really that close anymore.


True, but this is like debating what STD you would like to catch.

This is true. You can save hundreds of dollars per ticket driving the 2 hours to fly out of Atlanta. Including parking.

I've got no idea. We just moved to Tuscaloosa and love it. The traffic is nothing relative to where we used to live in Jefferson Parish and Orleans, it's clean and kept up, and the people are wonderful.

What kind of jobs they have in Tuscaloosa? How is housing compared to JP or NO?

Have lived in big cities in Louisiana, Texas, Florida and Georgia. By a wide margin Alabama is my favorite state.
Don’t get me wrong I love going back to New Orleans, Dallas, and the beach. But for the grind, Birmingham’s quality of life is a perfect fit for me.

But you're generalizing yourself.
You just think that "bigotry" doesn't include what you do.
Why? Because your media tells you that only conservative whites can be bigots and racists.
Open your eyes spleen and accept that you have generalizing opinions of entire groups and you think they are all wrong, before you ever even talk with them.

Interesting. I can't remember the last time i've heard any of these things in person. Must be a you thing then.

I don't disagree.......never had a problem with bama myself. It's easy to find cool people in any state, especially outside of urban areas. I went to France in my 20's. people we met in Paris hated our group just b/c we were American. Folks in the rural communities we visited were happy as hell to meet us and show us their place.

Rural white southerners are the last group that it’s pc to make fun of.

You can make fun of rural whites in general, we are just an easier target. Like what kind of stereotypes exist for the baws in bumfrick Oregon or Vermont?

I personally like living in an area that is basically recession proof like the Huntsville/Madison area. If you have any experience in the tech or engineering fields, you don't have to worry at all about finding a job. And it's still has the "small town" vibe that you don't get in the bigger cities that you usually have to go for more job security, and is still a relatively safe area.

Now how long that lasts, who knows. There sure are a lot of transplants flooding into the area, so who knows how long the Huntsville/Madison can maintain the laid back "small town" vibe. It wouldn't shock me if in the next 10 or 20 years it starts suffering from growing too fast with so many transplants.

The state is ok. I prefer to stay well away from the western half but others may be ok with it.
