1. GREAT post. I sat in on your session during TBEX and found it informative so thanks. Agree fully that southern hospitality is alive and well and amazing! LOVED how friendly everyone was in Huntsville. I was able to do space camp the first day there and loved it!

   1. Hi Paula! So glad you found my session informative and that you too enjoyed Huntsville. Thanks for reading and taking the time to post a comment. All the best, Mike

2. Really glad you enjoyed your stay in Huntsville, Mike! Being a native, having moved away and then moving back, I could not imagine living anywhere else and I love sharing my city with visitors. Come back again sometime, Huntsville is on the move and there will be much more to see and do in the future.

   1. Hi Andrew, thank you for stopping. I will be back for sure. Cheers, Mike

   1. Oh, it really is Elizabeth. Thanks for stopping by and reading. 😉

5. Thank you for your kind words that so vividly describe our hometown, Huntsville. And, yes…there is much, much more to learn, see and do. My family roots go back to the early 1800s. I am very proud to be called a native son of the Rocket City.

   1. My pleasure Jimmy! Wow, that’s impressive, the early 1800s! Hope to be back again soon. Cheers, Mike

6. Thanks for a great article about my hometown! Next time you are here come see us at Burritt on the Mountain! We would love to share our Historic Park with you where interpreters are demonstrating life as it was in the 1800’s. And being on the Mountain we have the best view in town!

   1. Hi Caroline! My pleasure, I had such a great time! Will do, I appreciate the offer. All the best!

7. Thank you for the article on my hometown, Huntsville Alabama. It’s a very special place and it was fun growing up during the 60s and 70s with the rocket team in full force. It was exciting to watch all of the launches spacecraft that were mostly developed here. The next time you come, you might want to try the old greenbrier restaurant. Locals can give you directions. The building isn’t much to look at but the barbecue is great and it’s not a chain restaurant.

   1. Hi Kathy, thank you so much for sharing your experience growing up in Huntsville, and, for the restaurant suggestion. I do hope to make it back to Huntsville one of these days soon. Cheers!

   2. YES, hush puppies at Greenbrier will always be the best. Huntsville has sure grown since I was knee high to a grasshopper. LOVE MY CITY!

8. Your article about the city where I grew up makes me miss it all the more. I moved away 29 years ago and have lived in 5 different states since and I still say Huntsville is THE BEST! I live in Dallas now but would move back if given the chance.

   1. Hi MeLisa, thanks for sharing. Huntsville is indeed a wonderful place. I lived in Dallas once, I would take Huntsville all day long. 😉

9. We love staying at the Embassy Suites and other close to downtown venues in Huntsville near the fabulous Big Spring Park. Though I was born and raised there, I moved away many years ago but still go back to visit. Now I want to go to Cotton Row (never been) and the Botanical Garden (I didn’t know they had a restaurant). Thanks for the info!

   1. Hi Deborah, thank so much for stopping by and sharing. Yes, you need to go back to visit Cotton Row and the Botanical Garden, both great attractions. Cheers!

10. Hi Mike,
    I grew up in Huntsville and the out skirts. I am glad you enjoyed your time. It truly is a wonderful place. I do miss it since I moved away. The people are unique and the history rich. When you return try some hide local places, such as mullians restaurant. Monsanto mountain with trails and burrett museum. Also green mountain walking trail. Also dido landing.These are places to explore and most do not know about. By the time you leave, you won’t feel as a tourist anymore. It will feel like home. You will always want to come back.

    1. Hi Kim, thank you so much for stopping by and reading my article on Huntsville, I really appreciate all the suggestions as I do plan to return one day soon. All the best, Mike

11. I’m glad you liked my hometown. I’ve been many places but I always come home!

12. Mike, thanks for the article on Huntsville. It is a wonderful city. My wife and I are originally from Louisiana just north of New Orleans so thanks for the nice words about the crescent city as well. We have lived in Huntsville for 10 years and do not plan to leave. This place just keeps getting better

    1. Hey Shawn…my pleasure. Such a lovely place you now call home. I hope I get a chance to visit again one day soon. Thanks so much for stopping by. Cheers, Mike

13. Hi Mike,
