Abandon hope all ye who enter there.

It’s warm there in the winter. That helps.

Actually, if you are a professional engineer , you are going to feel right at home. Some of the best in the country are within 20 miles.

Go! Go immediately if not sooner!

North Central Alabama is a great place. I grew up about 45 minutes or so south of there.

Good, hardworking, conservative folks who would do anything in the world for you. Agricultural area all around. Smith Lake (can you say bass fishing???)

Great winter weather, and well within a short drive to get to a larger city for entertainment, both Nashville and Birmingham.

Did I mention SEC football?????

You’re gonna love it!

My best friend just moved from there a couple of years ago. She loved it and it is a beautiful place to live. I’ll contact her and see if she’s alright with me giving you her email. (she’s very kind)

Know problem, but don’t get run over by all the illegals fleeing. You are legal, right?

Never try to break up a fight between Bama and Auburn supporters.

We checked it out when our company was bidding on a job at MSFC. I think you will be very happy there.

They built much of the Space Shuttle in Huntsville.

Since you won't have any family in the area, you can borrow mine! LOL ... they'll drive you batcrap crazy, but they'll feed you good!

Good thing with the Huntsville area is that it is large enough to have great medical facilities and such. If you enjoy city life, it will probably be big enough, but if you think you would like a little bit more of the country, you don't have to go far to find it.

The Huntsville Area -- "Rocket City"

A very pleasant place to live -- more sophisticated than you might expect at first blush.

Friendly... hospitable... lots of recreation nearby.

ENJOY!

Culture Shock 101

I don’t know you or your wife, but try not to be too judgmental and just go with it. Don’t sink so much in your house you cannot go on vacations.

Don’t beleive the hype from the “Hrelp” you’re getting here.

Huntsville is the finest city in the state. They have the best schools, highest average income and a real estate market that has at least wethered the storm hit nation-wide so, if you move again, your odds of selling your home are very high.

I would recommend the Madison County School district. Bob Jones High School is consistently one of the highest rated high schools in the state.

Also, homes west of town in the Harvest and County Line areas are very nice.

I have good friends who live in Alabama, near Birmingham, and I have visited them a couple of time. Although i can't tell you about Huntsville, I'd like to make a plug for Catholic schools in Alabama, which I learned a bit about when I visited. Although only about 7% of Alabama residents are Catholic, the Catholics have done a good job in the past couple of decades of building and sustaining solid Catholic schools — and many of the kids who attend the schools are Protestants whose parents want the Christian values and solid education. One of the negatives I've heard and read about Alabama is that the public schools are weak. So, even if you are not Catholic, I encourage you to consider Catholic school for your kids if you move there.

I am an engineer who moved to Alabama 5 years ago from Detroit.

Best move I ever made (other than my wife of course.
