                                I was born here but lived in two other counties in Alabama.  We moved to Gadsden area when I was 8.  This place has it's advantages and drawbacks.  It is said to be the highest taxed city in Alabama.  Crime rate is high.  I personally recommend moving to the outskirts like Rainbow City, Southside, Glencoe, or Attalla.  Hokes Bluff is an all white community and aren't very good about welcoming blacks.  I lived in Hokes Bluff for four years.  My late grandparents lived in Hokes Bluff for thirty plus years and didn't like it much.
