There’s no place quite like Alabama. Sadly, many people take living here for granted. It’s not until you move away, or you’re traveling, that you realize how special Alabama truly is. While away, there are certain things that’ll always remind you of home, including the 10 things listed below.
- Small town charm

- Southern accents

- Delicious food

- Beautiful farms

- Starry nights

- Sprawling cotton fields
flickr/Larry Miller One of Alabama’s nicknames is “The Cotton State,” so it’s not surprising that cotton fields give Alabamians a feeling of home.
- Beautiful scenic drives

- Quaint churches and chapels

- Gorgeous beaches

- Great Southern hospitality
