>>3722840hmm yes it could be the vast tracts of swamp, bland foliage and urban decay. it doesn't even have an interesting landscape and the highest "mountain" in alabama would be called a hill anywhere west of texas.
or maybe it's because alabama is consistently bottom five for average education, household and per capita income, infant mortality, museums per capita. it's got the highest poverty rate in the nation and is #7 on most violent states. Oh, it's also the most religious state in the country, go figure. 82% of the population believes in god with absolute certainty. 75% of the population prays every day, probably asking for a way to get out of alabama.
