Review of Huntsville, Alabama


Very boring place to live with crappy weather
Star Rating - 1/28/2013
Moved here from Florida - mistake! Yes, lots of good jobs here, but there is nothing to do unless you are an Alabama or Auburn fan. Lack of professional sports is frustrating. Locals aren't very friendly so forget "Southern hospitality"! You hold the door for people here and good luck on getting a thank you. Weather is always changing, and rarely comfortable. Lots of cold, gray days in the winter and last summer there was a week straight of over 100 degrees! We never hit 100 in Florida! Drivers are crazy, fast and rude. Can't do much yardwork since the ground is hard red clay so forget digging. If you're really into hiking, Alabama football, don't care about the weather and don't want any nightlife, this is the place for you! To be fair, things like gas and utilities and property taxes are cheaper here, but you get what you pay for!

My husband lived there in the mid-1960's -- nothing seems to have changed.
