      Cullman is very much known as a poor, backwater town if you live in Alabama. Southern Living was the one that tried to make them look like Stepford and it was baffling to everyone who's actually been there. They have a few craft fairs to attract custom and not much else.

    😂 I actually used to live off and on in Cullman. In 1997 I started flying in and out of Cullman because I met and eventually married a man who lived there. I was traveling there when the signs were still up. I wish I had taken the time to take a picture of one of the signs. The signs stated, "If you are a "N" or a foreigner...don't let the sun go down with you in our town." The government made them remove the signs in the early 2000's. With my being Black and him having been a foreigner...we were always indoors before sunset. However, I must say too that when we did go out around town shopping or going to a restaurant...I was always treated well. Much better than he was because he still had his European accent. He spoke fluent English but still had his accent. Eventually, we moved to Birmingham then completely out of state. I've never gone to Cullman again. Birmingham is equally as racist.

    In 2019 I had to attend my adopted grandpas funeral. I was adopted by white pepper and when I tell you I started having nightmares as soon as we got there in Alabama is was horrible. Like crying in cold sweats nightmares. I saw multiple confederate flags and our ancestors showed me horror after horror. And when I told my mom she brushed me aside saying that I was being dramatic. my parents and brothers walked ahead of me while i had panic attacks and anxiety. i wasnt sure if 14 year old me could make it home alive. There are 20 too many confederate flags that I’ve seen in Alabama to ever consider going back there. Especially not for a LIGHT show

      That's so sad. I lived in Huntsville for over 40 years, and it is not really Alabama. Everyone is from somewhere else, especially the soldiers at the Arsenal. It is a very welcoming place. There are a very A***Hs but 99% of the people are on the right side of History. ..just don't go anywhere else there.

    I moved to Huntsville Al from California to go to college and my middle aged neighbor warned ME (wasp) about Cullman. Some years later I had a good friend (black) who with his cousins went to visit their sweet school teacher grandma, and on the way home he fell asleep in the back seat..he woke up in Cullman ...under arrest!!! Yeah, I am sure its ALLLL different now..because black people spend money at their little Christmas fling.

      Whatever else happen too Byron such as deporting him back too Jamaica are making him President of Haiti scratch that U.S. lives off of an destabilized Haiti since 1915/&1916 when Woodrow Wilson sent The U.S. Marine's to invade Haiti and Haitian's at that time were not Immigrating too The U.S.
      It was only after The invasion by the U.S. Marine's when they began coming here.
