We moved here 16 years ago, and had no idea what to expect. I was half-expecting to find race riots and the what not.
Instead, we've found a beautiful, warm, and enjoyable place that really is quite livable. If you enjoy the arts, you'll find them here. If you enjoy nature, you'll find it here. The environment here is relaxed, but not sleepy. It's just a lot better than the more populated places we used to call home.
The thing about Alabama is that it really has a little of everything, from mountains (Okay, very large hills) to really good beaches. There is a strong cultural life and really good dining (In fact, one local restaurant is a Beard finalist). So while our friends used to kid us about moving to Alabama, they're not kidding us anymore--especially after they come to visit.
