Thanks a lot for your time we are planning to visit and have a tour on august to see how is everything since this is a big step for us

I was actually born in Huntsville Alabama. I have tons of family there. It's your typically southern town. There are a fair amount of Hispanics there now. There's even Mexican meat markets and shit popping up places.

The people there are really nice and respectfully. Don't ever go to Birmingham though. That's the hood. There's a couple malls and what not to go shopping at. Tennessee is about a 20 minute drive (part of the infamous "dragon" is in Tennessee.) traffic isn't too bad even in rush hour though I'm comparing this to metro Phoenix az rush hour traffic.

Huntsville in general is a huge DoD and government contractor jobs. Red stone Arsenal is there so you have military and NASA. Huntsville Hospital is a nice hospital for your girl to work at.

Beware you might hear "ya'll" a lot do not get sucked into their way of speech please unless you are like me and absolutely do not give a fuck but here's my two cents.
I know a girl who sat in my class back in high school and I used to make fun of her for saying ya'll all the time but that's california boys for you! Anyhow I am sure Alabama is a beautiful place ya'll!

Oh yeah and if you like to hunt or fish you'll be in heaven.

Welcome to Huntsville. Tons of african americans here. Not used to seeing so many african americans here. No hate on blacks. I grew up in dallas and got used to seeing hispanics. Huge dod military contract based city. Yes houses are dirty cheap. Brand new 1500-2000sqft houses start at only 130k. Mortgage is cheap as apt rent. Alot of outdoor activities. Shopping expense is about same. Nashville is 2 hrs, atlanta 3.5hrs, birmingham 1.5hrs. Yes we do have autocross stadium. I plan to take my frs in Aug. Traffic is bad near redstone gates but only in the morning and at evening when they get off. As for insurance, should be cheaper than florida. My insurance dropped when i moved from dallas. Its small quiet town. It used to be lively when they had army school house in redstone arsenal. Army moved all the school house to ft lee, va couple yrs ago. People are nice. Youll see tons of military prior services and retirees.
