    I just happened to be going through North Alabama. What an unexpected treat! I'm from Minnesota. Everyone was friendly and happy to see us.

    I live in skyline Alabama. About 30 north of sand mountain. We went to forth Payne for my birthday. Just to ride around back roads and smoke weed. It was awesome. I love Alabama. It's beautiful especially in the mountains.

    Flo Town baby! My home sweet home,and he really dosent have to sell them on this area. Florence has alot of history, alot of beautiful places, alone with the rest of the Shoals. I know you can't explore the grounds of the Forks of Cypress plantation home, but u can still see it, and you have to get permission to visit the Sweetwater mansion (Though it's really in bad shape, and the city needs to do more to preserve the house) You also have the old Florence Wagon works site (2 blocks from my house in East Florence right along the river canal) There is still old remains of the buildings covered with vines, and trees growing all around the remains, Popes Tavern, also you have the W.C. Handy home and museum, also the University of North Alabama's historic buildings, and get a chance to see Leo, and Una at the Lion habitat home on the campus. Visit McFarland park, the river heritage trail (It goes along the canal where the old wagon factory is) Wilson Dam, of course ride out towards the Natchez trace parkway on Alabama hwy 20 (Savannah Hwy) and go see Tom Hendrix wall (There is a video on here about that),And people don't realize it but alot of famous musicians live in this area (Not gonna name people because they don't really want you to, but I've worked on a couple's house) Also all the music studios in Muscle Shoals, Sheffield. And go see Helen Keller' s birthplace in Tuscumbia, I am proud to say I have done some work on that old place several years ago, spring park, the Alabam music hall of fame, Lagrange college site near White Oak, there is plenty to see here in the area. I have been to every corner of this beautiful state, done work, and hung out in Gulf Shores, and Orange beach, Demopolis,Uniontown, Dothan, Troy, all around Birmingham, lived in Gadsden, worked there, painted the new softball complex at Jacksonville State back in 2013, stayed in Huntsville, and I have family that lives in Montgomery, Prattville, and Millbrook, Tuscaloosa, I've been to every City with a population of 20,000 or more. And another thing I live about this great state is that wherever you go, whatever you are doing, if you are wearing your Bama, Auburn, UAB, UNA, Troy, Samford, West Alabama, UAH, Alabama A&M, South Alabama, Alabama State gear on? You will hear "Roll Tide", "War Eagle", "Go Blazers", "Roar Lions" , "Go Trojans" ,"Go Bulldogs (Samford,AA&MU), "Go Chargers", "Go Tigers" (West Ala), "Sting em Hornets" , and "Go Jaguars" We love our sports, and our schools in this state.

      YOU can KEEP North Alabama.........I grew up out on Colbert Heights Mountain and went to CHHS.....I left in '79.....AND I DON'T/WON'T go BACK for love nor money,I don't even go back for weddings or funerals.
      Just the thought of that place depresses and sickens me and make me want to puke.

      @@user-sw9zc5jj6p Hey, everyone has their opinion. There is alot I dont like about it. And you're not the only one that has expressed that same opinion. Dont mind me asking, but how old are you? One of my cousins went to Colbert Heights HS. I think he finished school somewhere around the mid 2000's.

      I'm 65 I walked out in the beginning of the '78 school year,it's a long story BUT
      albeit familiar one.I was gifted academically NOR athletically and my folks weren't rich enough to afford a band instrument
      and besides,they're were Pentecostal and they weren't about let their children play the devils music on Friday nights.
      So,like I stated...
      OLD......FAMILIAR
      STORY
      BLAH BLAH BLAH.

      @@user-sw9zc5jj6p Sound like you've been through the same rodeo as myself. My family all are either Pentecostal or So. Baptist. I don't know anything about devil music. Now I do know about music that speaks on reality, and the horrors of reality, and the people that enable it. Once a religious person tells me that my music is devil music, just tells me that they've never actually listened to the music. That includes metal, rap, and as bad as I can't stand it, pop music. I was born in '78. So, I think you probably have a couple of years on me lol. Hey, I respect what you said about your dislikes and unapologetic thoughts about this area. That's the great thing about it. At least we can agree to disagree, and are allowed to say we don't like a place, or do. At least for the time being we can. Anyway, good convo, and have a good one. Hope where you are in life is the best.

      I would have thought by the time you were 10/12 folks around that area might have joined the 20th century,but that's what I was trying to convey in my words,it's like everyone there is in a bubble.

    Save your money! Best not to invest in a state that is 200 years behind the times and keep one thing in mind, if you buy a house in alabama it doesn't mean you own it.

      DUDE,I totally agree with you,I grew up in Colbert County and went to CHHS.I left in '79.....aint been back
      AINT GOING BACK.
      The people of that region are backwoods rednecks and some of the most racists and prejudiced people on earth.Just the thought of that place depresses me and sickens me and as I told
      @MetallicAAlabamA
      It makes me want to puke.Even as a truck driver if I had to drive thru there I wouldn't even stop.I never heard of the places mentioned in this video and I'm glad I didn't because I would've been afraid my family would want to go there.
      I agree with you,they may have indoor plumbing.....BUT THEY are WAAAAY behind the rest of the country.
