Highest concentration of Masters and Doctoral degrees in the US. The town can't be that bad.

Seems lots of job opportunities there, at least in my field of IT/government work.

This coming from the guy from West Virginia. 


Huntsville's pretty well known for the space stuff. Other than that, I expect you'll find it's a pretty ordinary small city.

US Space & Rocket Center and find Dreamland BBQ or something similar.

When?

Oh cool.... for whatever reason I didn't think about the possibility of a meet-up.

[Caliga]

lusti: Seriously ese if you want to meet up that would be awesome.  Now I'm going to be there starting Thurs. night... not sure how far Huntsville is from Birmingham.

If I has there

We can tell

[Caliga]

So this seems like a pretty nice town so far.

Also, I've now been to every state east of the Mississippi except for Mississippi itself.

Mississippi is aka "that state you drive through to get to Louisiana (or Alabama)".
