For living( family,weather,friendly place) and for working ?
What can you tell about Alabama life ?

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.

I was born and raised in Al but I have lived in other states plus Central America. I just moved back to AL a couple of years ago after living in FL for 30 years. The biggest thing for me are the people. The people are so friendly and I am always amazed at how if there is someone in need so many people are there to help them.
As CPG stated.. there is the Gulf of Mexico with beautiful beaches or (our) mountains with waterfalls and caves. It gets cold in winter but not a constant cold and hot in summer but spring and fall are wonderful.

There are jobs here from scientist, engineer, shipbuilders to chicken farmers.

There is no place else I would rather be. Check out the photos at the top of this forum.
