In this highly amusing Globe & Mail story, Canadians are stunned to discover that Alabama is not the dirt poor hillbilly backwater they think it is. They're totally gobsmacked when they learn Alabama's per capita GDP had edged higher than Canada's. "Canadians could probably stomach having their living standards slip relative to the broader U.S., the epicentre of the world's tech revolution. But Alabama?"

Alabama has got Huntsville to the north. Incredible scenery;Huntsville; outer space exploration type stuff and a seaport at Mobile to the south. Add lots of trees and navigation for barge traffic on smaller rivers and you have got lots of potential for industrial strength and local tourism. Now, if they could just get an NFL team to compete with their college football teams in the attendance stats they could become a Super Bowl Site.

Ken Burns’ “The War” focused on Mobile and how it expanded during the War. The population literally tripled overnight.
