Fortunately its spread around a little more, and they tend to be a little smaller. (But Montgomery or Dothan Alabama are still THE best places to go for a national... Particularly Montgomery....). The new program is great..they should have done it sooner. Its been done in a lot of areas on an informal basis,and thats one of the big reasons some areas flourish.
Heard good things about both, but the folks in Mobile treated me so good, I couldn't exaggerate and do them justice. Couldn't even pay for a bag of peanuts at the minor league ballgame to which they treated us.
