Review of Huntsville, Alabama


No longer a southern town
Star Rating - 4/24/2018
You will read hundreds of reviews about Huntsville, which are from people that aren't from here. About 2 in 10 people you meet are actually residents here. 10 years here doe s not make you a local. I have been here 38 years and I am 3rd generation. Most of the complaints on here about driving and bubba's are from sheer ignorance. Most of the staff I work with are from California, New York, New Jersey and so on. There are only 3 of us that are from here out of 288. If you are an engineer this place Is for you. We have watched our society degrad over the last decade. Rude behavior and arrogance are not a southern tradition. Most residence have left due to the shift and Huntsville is no longer a southern town, but a town in the south. We are not dumb hillbillies, myself, brothers, sister and parents have advanced degrees. We can't help but see the values go down the toilet, but all government cities are this way. Aniston has just recovered from that after McClellan closed. If you are a young engineer aspiring to be a government contractor or employee, then this is the place for you. Is you cherish values, honesty, hard work and fun, then pass on by.

Lol, there's a 100% chance that your "advanced degrees" are on the lower end of the totem pole. Sounds like your family of advanced degrees can't afford to live here anymore.
