There’s no denying that Alabama is a great place to call home. From its beautiful landscapes to its delicious food, no other place will ever compare. Sure, we may complain about living here, but deep down, we truly love it. If you’ve ever moved away from Alabama, chances are you’ve most likely had these 11 thoughts:
