But why does Mississippi have half as many people as Alabama? Seems both of those states are equal on the suck-meter, and they’re right next to each other. (I’ve never been to either one, except for about two hours in NW Mississippi one morning when I was still OTR trucking).
I learned about the population difference yesterday on a covid vaccine thread. Was surprised at how different their populations are.
Alabama has got lots of cool stuff in the northern sections. Little River Canyon, The Shools water area, Huntsville for NASA. Lake Weiss. If you like water and vegetation, northern Bama is the place. I did not actually answer the question about the difference in population between Miss. and Ala. yet Northern Bama is not bad.
