I usually end up with a similar list of great things about it here, reasons why I really love my city, but sometimes I wonder if I'm not simply justifying it after the fact. I hope it's the former and not the latter for you.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177747327774150427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-88171377039228707202008-05-27T16:22:00.000-05:002008-05-27T16:22:00.000-05:00Duane:Great to hear from a fellow Mizzou guy.

I live in Columbia MO and work at the University. My uncle lives in Tuscaloosa and he played basketball at Kirksville (NW-MO)years ago with Gene Bartow. I thought people from the bootheel in Missouri had an accent until I visited Tuscaloosa and heard a REAL southern accent.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your legal battle. <BR/><BR/>PS - I am also a schnauzer fan, I had two of them at one point.<BR/><BR/>Duane PerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-44622519313644242492008-05-27T10:00:00.000-05:002008-05-27T10:00:00.000-05:00Great article!

Birmingham, and Alabama in general, are wonderful places with a residual bad rap. Sure we have our problems, but they're not as bad as people think, and we have a lot of advantages over the Midwest (I also lived in Michigan for six years).<BR/><BR/>Now if we can just get through this election season where all of the campaigns live off of the stereotype that we are all a bunch of ignorant rednecks...Rob Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279012841809332977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-30828179069048705072008-05-27T09:29:00.000-05:002008-05-27T09:29:00.000-05:00This is a great post.

My daughter is in the Homewood Band (not in the drumline) so I've seen that video with Taylor many times. One thing that I would like to point out, in regards to Motorsports, you mentioned Barber Motorsports Park but did not mention <A HREF="http://www.talladegasuperspeedway.com/track%5Finfo/about%5Ftalladega/" REL="nofollow">Talladega Superspeedway</A>. Talladega is the largest, fastest motorsports facility in the world. I'm a huge Nascar fan so of course I've been there many times but it is truly such a spectacular, amazing sight I would recommend it as a 'must see in Alabama' to anyone, racefan or not.Number8gurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554201305507929463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-49659393632382147652008-05-26T16:42:00.000-05:002008-05-26T16:42:00.000-05:00You make some really compelling reasons to move to...You make some really compelling reasons to move to B'ham..or at least to visit there.<BR/>Even with being a TH fan, I hadn't thought about making the drive down to check out the town.<BR/>Maybe I should.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-37030715513741522702008-05-25T08:49:00.000-05:002008-05-25T08:49:00.000-05:00A Great Post!I am originally from the area ('61-'6...A Great Post!<BR/><BR/>I am originally from the area ('61-'69), living in several places in and around B'Ham (childhood).<BR/><BR/>As I travel through there today, it brings back so many memories of beauty (amazingly beautiful area: not imagined by those who have never been) and "homecoming".<BR/><BR/>Other than I20 going east (which SUCKS to high heaven... or did a few months ago) the roads aren't bad, so I invite people to visit there.<BR/><BR/>Since I was raised there, Vincent, Harpersville, Sylacauga and Childersburg are worthy of the short drive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-82623325657760864782008-05-24T01:01:00.000-05:002008-05-24T01:01:00.000-05:00Loved the article.
