I know more than one runner who went there for College, in Tuscaloosa. They loved it and yes the Summer running was tough but you acclimate and adjust. I visited the campus and thought it was absolutely amazing.
I've been to Gulf Shores as well, and that place was fantastic. I think there are rural places and urban places that are run down a bit, but I think all states have that.
Sorry, I'm not making fun of a homeless person or someone overweight, life is tough enough and I don't feel the need to knock someone down less fortunate. There are areas that were beautiful and rundown areas, like anywhere else.
This is on point. We can go to any state and find both nice areas and crap areas. What’s cool about America is that’s it’s a very geographically diverse country. You have Florida and Hawaii but you also have Alaska and Maine. Then everything in-between. You have lots of beaches on the two largest oceans and lots of mountains. It’s truly a unique nation in that way. So it’s no different with cultures and people. A major reason why America is better served as a Republic. The federal government, as the constitution states, should be weak in comparison to the individual states.
