It could be in Georgia?
I have friends and kinfolk in Huntsville and Cullman areas. Can't go wrong. Cullman has a few inbreds but mostly its a mix of good country folk and suburbanites that don't want to live in Birmingham. I imagine the rise in remote work will make that more appealing for those who can get away with it.
I think we just want our basic stuff. Good grocery like Publix (oh how I miss them), basically the typical suburban enclave. I grew up in a smallish city but honestly I want access to the big box places and the chains. Living here on the Cape where all these turds think it’s so quaint and unique is bullshit to me. Despite all the money that’s here it’s sort of a wasteland if you have to live here year round.
Don’t they always get some fonked up weather up there? Seems like I’m always hearing the are getting snow/ice in the winter and tornados in the summer
I seem to recall bad storms tearing AL up that would just fall apart once they hit the state line.
I also considered just going back to my birth city of Dothan. Close to the beach, pretty good healthcare I think. Just hot AF much like Albany.
North AL has seen more than its share of big tornadoes
You’ll never believe this, but the “outskirts” of Dothan have grown a ton residentially. Not so much commercially YET, but people are moving away from the “city”… Headland, Rehobeth, Wicksburg.
Wicksburg? That’s where my fathers side settled in the 1800s. Mostly nothing but dirt farms out there. The cemetery at the church on 123 is full of Thomley folk.
The stretch from Spanish Fort down to Fairhope, including Daphne and Montrose, is very good.
Well I’ll be shit. I know lots of em. I actually owned some land that’s now been developed in a neighborhood called Thomley Ridge.

Just looked it up. That might be the site of the homestead that my grandmothers family settled on. Had several houses all
Chipley is the big city down yonder.Got family on Dad’s side in Chipley and Malone but not Bonifay.

The commies have outright said that's their plan. Migrate to the red states and turn them purple/blue.
What about Charleston, I always seem to enjoy the low country.
Charleston is great to visit. I don't know that I'd want to live there, though.
Back in the '60's you couldn't buy a loaf of bread along that stretch... from Daphne to Gulf Shores was nothing but soybean fields. We used to call Fairhope 'No Hope'... dinky little town with maybe 3 buildings and one stop light. It's crazy seeing how much it has been developed.
That looks a little too close to Moby for me.
As a KID 🖕... we took Hwy 98 most of the time going to 'the Gulf' (we never said the 'shores' part)... Hwy 59 was straighter but not much better. Dauphin Island and/or the Gulf was our vacation every summer as well as one weekend a month.
