I Found A Place In Alabama That's Actually Thriving

- Who would have thought this was in Alabama? You might be surprised.
The whole area is really neat. The Shoals as it’s called is made up of four cities - Muscle Shoals, Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia. There’s close to 200,000 people here on the banks of the Tennessee River.
Most of Alabama is very wide and flat, and perfect for agriculture. Here, it’s kinda hilly. So the place has always had a unique culture to Alabama.
I think it feels more like Tennessee than Alabama. It’s a lot more progressive here than the rest of the state, although people here vote conservative in large numbers. To me, the Shoals doesn’t feel very southern, but there’s still a lot of charm.

Many places in Alabama are thriving. Just moved to North Alabama from Alabama gulf coast and each have their own character. I love Alabama. Mountains in the north, beaches in the south. And so much in between.
I will begin by admitting that I am biased, I grew up in the Shoals area and now live in the Huntsville area, I believe that the best parts of Alabama are in the northern third. However, the State in general is a surprise to visitors who have a 60-year-old view of us. It's still the South, but the new south that has done a pretty good job of ridding itself of the bad while holding on to our polite friendly culture. We're not perfect yet, but we're working on it. Oh, and don't let the accent fool you, there's some pretty smart people who have an accent.
Such a cool state! Everyone was sooooo NICE! You definitely captured what makes this state great! Great vid Nick!
We do have a lot of homeless ppl in our area. We also have a lot of violence in this area. You must of not did a lot of digging around to get the right information. You didnt talk to the right ppl. Everything around here gets swept under a rug and not broadcasted all over the place. Its a lot worse in this area than you are saying. Homeless you cant leave nothing unlocked in your yard it will be stole by the meth heads. Its a nice place as long as you stay on the main roads you was on. Just so you know you passed about 6 different drug houses in this video. 🤣
Nick, you need to bring back the Unboxing theme song! Mappy said he agrees 🗺
As a New Zealander I find Alabama fascinating, it has the same population as my entire country and yet somehow seems a lot smaller. Alabama largest city Huntsville is only around 30% of the population of our largest Auckland, and in fact is smaller than my city Christchurch the 2nd largest when factoring in metro areas for all. I would guess the US larger states have in a way have impacted Alabama and caused a urban brain drain of sorts, limiting urban growth.
I was born and raised in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. We are a nice community and generally quiet. You must not have talked to a older southern lady or gentleman to get the southern vibes. The Shoals is rich in music and other things. There is no place in the US that don’t have issues.
Those locals will want to keep it that way.
Where's the Tornadoes ?
I lived in the Birmingham area for 10 years but worked all over the state. Florence/Muscle Shoals was by far my favorite place to visit. I always say that if I had to move back to Alabama, I would definitely be moving to Florence.
One of my favorite things about Alabama is the adorable little towns throughout the state. So many of them have so much character. Historic buildings with modern updates.
You didn't mention that Sam Phillips, the first one to blend hillbilly bluegrass with the delta blues and created rock and roll, is a Florence native.
Sweet home Alabama
Allman Brothers recorded there. Beautiful little Southern town. Alabama is a beautiful state.
I loved this episode! I just love Alabama, and the people there. I feel like I was meant to live there, not up north where I'm from. Thank you Nick for showing us all of these places. 😊
Born in Alex City, raised in Tallassee. Basically right near Tuskegee and right in the middle of Montgomery and Auburn. Love my beautiful state.... Roll Tide🐘
Seems like years ago, most small towns were "boring", unless you lived in a tourist town. Even then, tourist attractions lose their appeal when you live near them.
I live in Decatur, al. near the Tennessee River It's a little diverse but clean and quiet, and it's about 45 minutes from Huntsville. there are little towns close by like Hartsville, Moulton, and Priceville.
I have just binged on all your UA-cam videos and I love them. I'm from Australia so it's been a good way to see what's happening in your part of the world. Thank you.
I've been here for 20 years now .lived in other states. It's laid back ,I enjoy it
