AL NTer #2 checking in.
Yeah, I'm still in Huntsville TimCity. Sometimes I ask myself why, but it's all good. As far as spots go, this isn't the place. I mean, thisplace is HEAVEN for picking up retros other than J's, since they just sit on shelves(currently waiting for the ZF96s to drop in price) at the local mallspots. If you are patient, you can ALWAYS find a nice deal at one of the many chain stores. But as far as more limited stuff, there isn't much. CityGear has an urban account I'm pretty sure, and they get the Jordan L'Style stuff. Same with Marty's.
As far as the city of Huntsville, it's okay. It is definitely on the comeup though. Hell, the growth in the last 2 or 3 years alone is amazing. I'mpretty sure it is the fastest growing city in Alabama, and maybe in the South. I think as time goes on, it will start to have that big city feel to it,although nothing like an Atlanta since the downtown is somewhat lacking.
And yeah, the city is NOT a college town, although college-educated folks make up the majority of it's tenants. I took some classes at UAH last semester,and after going to school in Michigan at a D1/35,000 student college, UAH seemed tiny. And there doesn't seem to be much school spirit or social life fromwhat I gathered. BUT, it is a good school and folks there go IN on the schoolwork...lol.
One great thing about Huntsville imo, is that diversity is big here. With Redstone Arsenal here, you have different types of people everywhere, whichsometimes can be hard to find in the South. It amazes me how many people I meet are not from here originally, like myself.
