I'm extremely buzzed off vokad rihgt now after a great night and I dont know how much sense I can make but I think IMHO that the states we underestimaet today will make something more out of themselves in the future.

I think Jackson got left behind but I think jackson will rebound sometiem in the future because of low cost and manufactoring jobs
It looks like a lot of the patterns seems to be depending on what occured during the Civil Rights Era where the ones left behind seemed to of resisted more. Also this past decade is showing that some just have started later than others so it isn't going to doom some areas for ever. Actually some areas could market itself as not being too crowed and congested and that might be what is going on in some places.
As with Alabama I am suspecting that the growth area in not likely to be the Birmingham area but around Huntsville and the I-85 corridor there. I think part of the issue with Jackson, MS is that it is more isolated from other population centers and is furthest away in the South from the various growth areas: either the I-85 corridor, Texas, or Central/South Florida. It seems a number of new growth areas are adjacent to places that already have been growing, just going a metro 100 or so milees away. Also a possibility area is the area along the North-South border, that might be a part of why the DC area is doing well.
If you're stating Bham missed the train as in what an earlier posted discussed, due to bad civic leadership and not getting the airport, so it could have been Atlanta, I understand. But Bham is still the leader of Bama and close to the majority of Bamas populace lives in the Bham metro. The I-85 corridor of Bama ends at Montgomerey, which is behind Bham, Huntsville, and Mobile. Bham is not Atlanta, but it definitely ain't Jackson either.
Birmingham still swings the biggest stick in Alabama, but it seems to me like the economies in Huntsville and Mobile have been more robust lately. Montgomery is just...there.
In the future, I expect Birmingham and Tuscaloosa to gravitate toward each other a bit.

I agree. Montgomerey kind of just sits there as the capital and eats off of Bham, Huntsville, and Mobile. Montgomerey could have been an option too.
