Where Do You Stay?
We all post and read each other's posts almost on a daily basis. I think it would be cool for all of us to say (or admit) where we are all from and living now. I doubt anyone lives near me, but maybe a few of y'all live in the same area and never even knew it.
I'm originally from Huntsville, but now I go to school in Maryland. I can't wait to come back to the heart of dixie to settle down.
Roll Tide! Beat UT!

Born in Decatur...
…and my family moved to Birmingham when I was about 6 months old. Been here ever since.
The great city of Birmingham, Al
Which is a damn fine place to live; all the murders and shit happen on Northside, so stay away.
I was born in Bessemer, moved to Hoover after high school and went to Tuscaloosa for a year before transferring to UAB and finishing at Faulkner. Moved to Irondale, back to Hoover, Huntsville, and now back in Homewood. We are looking at buying a house in Pelham area, or Trussville, but looks like I will be in Birmingham for a while.
Always wanted to live in Denver though. I dunno.

My uncle
has a house in Aspen, not all its cracked up to be out there. Too expensive
Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!
Denver is
my most favorite Big City. I lived in breckenridge/Summit county for a couple of seasons and really enjoyed visiting Denver. Now I live in the Mighty Metropolis of Enterprise, AL. They only good thing about Enterprise is it is a straight 75miles shot to the beach.
Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Dude, BamaReturns07!!
I was born, raised, and STILL live in Homewood. GO HHS!!!

Born in Mobile
Spent 14 wonderful years there, moved to Nashville and spent 4 hellish years in that crap hole, moved to Tallahassee Fl went to FSU and got married there, and now i live in Lawrenceville, GA (about 25 min NE of Atl and about 30 min from Athens) and have lived here the past 3 years.
Don't take life to seriously, you'll never get out alive.
Born in Columbus, Ga...
Father too. Grandfather born in Anniston. Except for the 4 years I lived in T-Town, I’ve lived in Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Va my entire life because my mother’s family was there. My mother is the brain in the family with 3 degrees from Bama and had interaction with both Bear and Joe Namath since she was in the Physical Education Dept.
I’m living on the road right now going to Tide games. In Savannah today. Will be moving probably to near Tampa after football season.
This thread was a great idea, SouthernComfort34.

born and grew up in Mobile
Most Mobilians never leave, but I bravely moved all the way across the Bay to Daphne (a tiny town on Mobile Bay, just north of Fairhope). Was happily held prisoner for 3 years, while getting law degree, in Tuscaloosa and was there for the glory years of ’77, ’78 & ’79. Lived 2 blocks from stadium. My roommate was engaged to a Bama player, so got to know many of them, who were very nice guys. The Bear kept them humble, even during those glory days.

born and bred in Birmingham
moved to Baldwin County about 6 years ago. Pretty decent amount of lsu fans here compared to rest of state. I’m noticing a LOT less au flags on cars, and laugh at those that do- trying to ‘keep the faith’.
Mobile/Baldwin
is about 80/20 Bama fans.

Mobile Boy
here too, born and raised. Went to McGill-Toolen high school and South Alabama for college. I’d like to move up to the Birmingham area in the next few years though, I love that part of the state.
Actually dated a girl
That went to McT, and graduated from South myself. Hopefully, although I will bleed Crimson my whole life, we will get some decent football going down here in the next few years.

Joey Jones
is well thought of and he’s put together an interesting staff so far. I really hope it turns out successful for South, otherwise they may be looking at being an ex-member of the Sunbelt Conference.

I
split most of my school years between Tarrant and Locust Fork both around Birmingham. Locust Fork is alittle futher from B/Ham though. I joined the air force about 2yrs after graduation and have been currently residing in Omaha Nebraska ya that right all I hear out here is how the big 12 is the best conference in college football and how we are over rated and the sec is too. So here is hoping we get to play a big 12 team for the NC and destroy them soon.

Born in Mobile, grew up in Louisiana, and now live in Vicksburg, MS where there are only about 10 Bama fans, everbody else here is Miss St. or Ole Miss faithful. Thank gawd we held on to beat ole miss…. the arrogance of Ole Miss alum is only overshadowed by those from that cow college detested by ALL Tide faithful
I...
…was born in Mobile, grew up in Brewton, AL (T. R. Miller High School), lived briefly in Hotlanta and Memphis, undergrad in T’town, next 6 years in Taichung, Taiwan, grad school back in The Holy Land, now reside in Mobile again.

I live in kimberly alabama but i lived on MCAS Futema for a year back in the early 90’s.
We called it the rock and after two months we started catching mac flights on the weekends to anyplace we could get to. Memories are fond now but that place really sucked then. What branch of service you with?
Mobile
isn’t so bad. Baldwin is very nice (Fairhope and Daphne particularly) if you can afford it.

Phenix City, Al
born and raised here…..I’m also about 30 or so miles away from the Plains so I can smell it too parrothead………..although when i do find myself in Auburn/Opelika area for any reason I always try to wear some kind of crimson and I always get plenty of Roll Tides….I think there’s more Bama fans in the Auburn area then people realize….I am also just a hop, skip and a jump from Columbus, Ga so there are plenty of Dawg fans around this area too…thank goodness we took care of them this year!!!

Hey...
You never answered the question of did you know the Jack Gunter family in Phenix City?
"I hate everything orange"
It's all about Crimson - ROLL TIDE!!!
oh i'm sorry I guess I forgot...geez I'm getting old and forgetful lol......
I don’t know him but I asked my Dad he said he knew a Jack Gunter. I’m not sure if it’s the same Jack Gunter you are talking about…Daddy is 76 and not sure if that’s about the age of the Jack Gunter you are talking about
'Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs.'
Roll Tide!!!!!
Uncle Jack...
…would have been close to that if he was still alive. There were 3 sons, but Jerry is the only one still living. They were a hell raising family involved in a lot of drinking and gambling. Fit right in to “Sin” City, Al.
"I hate everything orange"
It's all about Crimson - ROLL TIDE!!!
that's probably how my Dad
knows of Jack…from the Sin City days……My parents can tell some stories from back then but surprisingly they said you could walk down the street past the gambling joints and “houses of sin” and no one would bother you unlike today!!

Born in Houston
Moved to Montgomery in the middle of 6th grade. Currently in Tuscaloosa about to finish my undergraduate degree. Next three years will be law school in either Atlanta, Durham NC, Nashville, Tuscaloosa, or Athens GA. After that, who knows?

Well travelled!
I lived in Houston for a few years in ‘96-’99. I was born and raised in Huntsville, AL. You have to add the “Alabama” after “Huntsville” when you’re in Texas, or they ask you when you got out (of prison).
Left Huntsville to get some schoolin’ in Tuscaloosa, then lived in Auburn (first job reporting for O-A News), then Gadsden, then back to Huntsville, then Houston, now in Atlanta. Oh! … and I interned in Monroeville (home of Harper Lee and setting for To Kill a Mockingbird).

Born in Florence, AL...
Raised in Rogersville/Shoals area, moved to Augusta GA in high school and have lived in Gainesville, GA (about 1hr. northeast of Atlanta) for the past 16 years. There are actually quite a few Bama fans in the area, as Bammer can attest— Matt Wethington, who was a kicker for the Tide in 1991/92, is pastor of one of the Baptist churches here in town.
If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, "Roll, tide, roll!"
Born in Birmingham live in Tifton, GA
And surprisingly there are a lot of Bama people here. Former Team Captain from the 50’s a guy named Bud Wilis is a long time resident
Born in Dothan, AL
but looking at your avatar, I live in the same city that you do. I work where you live. Small world!!
Dothan
thats where my dad grew up and some of his family is—-his mothers side. Been there too often to the cotton farm and worked for 5 bucks a day thinking I was making bank.
Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!
born in mesa, AZ
and my whole family calls me a yankee because of it. (i’ll never understand that, mesa in the early 80’s was a 95% mormon western town. no god damned yankees lived in the phoenix area for another 10 years or so)… I’ve lived in Louisville KY for school ,and in brudgwick holland (20 mins outside of A-DAM) for “other reasons”. now i’m back in the valley of the sun, been rooting for BAMA the whole time….
