Out of all the cities in the south why would you choose these? All these cities have no northern influence what so ever. You should have used cities like DC, Baltimore, or even Richmond as they are some of the most northern southern cities of the south.
Anyone who calls DC and Baltimore "southern" is nuts, and still a little nuts for putting RVA in this category.
If this is referring to me, than you need to do your history. Baltimore and DC are below the Mason Dixon line therefore making them both "southern" cities. However this does not mean they cant have a northern influence or feel. But demographically both of the cities are southern.
Jokes on you Richmond was the capital of the south during the civil war! Don't even go there man
^^^^Baltimore has a statue of Robert E. Lee! Don't even try it, you...
Don't even. Maryland wasn't apart of the confederates or the union during the civil war. Maryland was undecided. Maryland didn't secede either. Therefore Baltimore did not support the confederates. Its only a memorial from a will left from J. Henry Ferguson because he idolized confederate soldiers. That statue was built in 1948. Learn your facts
@bmore, lol its all good, I don't even care. My response was a joke on your previous comment. My personal opinion is that Richmond is a mix of DC an Baltimore with a deeper Southern root...
I'd probably go with Huntsville, AL. It's definitely the most cosmopolitan city in Alabama as it attracts some of the most highly-educated people on the planet (thanks to NASA).
I'd wager that in about 50 years Huntsville will replace Birmingham as *the* city in AL. It's growing like gangbusters while B'ham is more or less stagnating.

That remains to be seen. Birmingham still has better infrastructure and a more diversified, well-rounded economy. Huntsville is doing quite well for itself, but its economy is still pretty narrowly niched.
