Good article PortCity but let's not get the Huntsville syndrome.

The part about the diverse economy is music to my ears though.

Better the Huntsville syndrome than the Montgomery syndome.

I say let the hype keep flowing. Hype brings new movers and shakers in, and typically in turn - a higher standard of living.

Well, you don't want to be bragging for nothing.
Last time I checked Montgomery was healthy and kicking but your tunnel vision might not let you see that all the waaaaayyyyyy in St. Louis.
By the way that steel mill will provide some of that steel for Hyundai which is where? Oh yeah Moneytown baby.

You don`t have to worry about me having a that Syndrome my friend, lol. If and when Obama lift the Cuban ban Hyundai in Montgomery will be shipping them over there to Cuba from the Port. So both cities will see some dough.

OC: Montgomery is really a progressive city !!

lol ... well yeah, my vision of most things back home is based on 2 years ago.

However, Huntsville has much more going for it than Montgomery, imho.

Yeah because it's my hometown. Montgomery as well as Mobile get a lot of negative comments from people who are not in or from south Alabama(bad promotion).I'm a strong advocate for both cities which are working to diminish that perception.Like I tell many people, the Montgomery of 5 years ago is not the Montgomery of today and if you were to visit Montgomery I can almost guarantee you will think Mobile could take some tips. But only time will tell.I only made that comment because I stay in Huntsville and get tried of hearing how great it is.
