Exploring: Rural Alabama Countryside

[@steveminer4995]

I hunted outside of Rockford for years . The Old Golden Rule was great place to get something to eat.

[@chriscurtis1578]

Living in Tennessee we always drive every year through the entire state of Alabama going down to our favorite place in Florida and I always enjoy the scenery. It is truly a beautiful state. The only down side to the trip is interstate 65 between Birmingham and Montgomery. Now that we usually go to Florida in the fall the traffic is not as heavy but if it rains your screwed! People can not drive when it's wet down there haha. Great video!

Country roads take me home Alabama. Love the rural areas

[@italiansister8069]

Thanks for taking me on your journey have a blessed day 🌳📽️🌳

[@Kringspiermusketier]

"Look how beautiful Alabama is, this is my kind of Disneyland..." 1 minute later...:🤣💯👌 "These country roads make me sick!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sethmaginnipig1801]

Evokes the same walking dead feelings. That sense of quiet and exploration. Beautiful. Wanderlust

[@SilverPreppingGrandma]

I miss my beautiful Alabama! Thank you for the wonderful video!

Beautiful. Thank you. My inner photographer loves the "junk". I call it ambiance.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Love that!

[@iffybakker7440]

I remember,so beautiful!!!

[@entranceambujofficial1503]

Thank you from india

[@MikeRuh01]

Afternoon Jose. That is one thing for sure that old country towns have is lots of junk and vehicles that haven't seen the road in a long time.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

LOVE IT

[@superiorgas294]

I live in Titus. Next town south of rockford.i travel these roads all the time but I'm usually not able to take in how beautiful this area really is. Thank u.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Thanks for sharing, Titus is very country I work out there sometimes. I did not enjoy the ride at first the mountains made me sick, getting used to it now days. Those up and down roads are NOT EASY for first timers in the area. I love it here in ELMORE COUNTY

[@vivek-1318]

Awesome

[@beach3girl459]

Thanks to Walmart and other big box stores, small-town America is sadly...dead

Yep

So sad…something must be done about this

Walmarts been around for 60 years. Shut the fuck up with this shit.

[@cunit80]

Not true

[@kentuckygirl8282]

I am a native Kentuckian. But my hubby and I used to live in northern Indiana for a while, a lot flatter than east KY. Every time we came back home to visit I got sick. So I can relate to the nauseating roads lol! But we didn't stay gone long because there's no place like home.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

We might record some KY videos tomorrow

[@Gi0114]

Great job with this video. I’m looking to move south..considering Alabama and Florida.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

our channel shows best of both. If you have a larger budget Florida lends itself better. If you are young and want to save for the future alabama is nice.

[@liontouradventure4156]

[@wandameadows5736]

Everything slows down in the American Southern States & it may be similar in the rural areas up North & in the Midwest but I cant say for certain because I haven't been to those areas. You may not like laidback living if you prefer the fast lane but you'll never know till you try. Personally I like living in areas where people watch out for each other & treat others like family. The perception that county folk don't like outsiders is bull shit. They are very kind but cautious until they get to know you. Its really the best way to be with anyone, make people earn your trust. There's a reason 99% of the scammers & thief's prefer the city for committing crimes where its very busy & peoples attention spans are pushed to the limit. It's a shame Hollywood has made every effort for decades to paint country folks, especially Southerners, in such a bad light. The amazing thing is they do this while at the same time trying to appear as the "Virtuous People". My issue isn't with city people, its with the living conditions & pace of everyday life in major US city's. In my humble opinion America would be better off not having people live in these big city's. Unfortunately our Government wants to force everyone into these cramped spaces in the future.

[@mwanikinjeru3326]

How are the roads so empty? One could drive with eyes closed.

[@jazzbeau507]

The natural beauty of the countryside is nice however the blight of the towns and some of the businesses have some eyesores.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

I rather look at an eyesour at 90mph on a country road than be stuck in a traffic jam in front of a prosperous furniture store

[@patbaptiste9510]

Nice

[@chanthoernyem5749]

[@mrtop3s340]

I wanna live in AL

[@MrWise23]

I live in a small village (population 3000) but the Netherlands has high population density so when I drive out of my village to any side in 5-10 min drive I am in another village and in half hour drive a am in bigger city. I think cause everything (even in smaller villages) is so close makes rural area in the Netherlands way more advanced than in USA. We have enough jobs here in rural areas while in USA it looks like cause of the distance to major city’s Some places are just not interesting for bigger company’s to be while in the Netherlands those company’s have presence in smaller places to. But you never know. Now people can work from home more which may make living In rural areas more interesting again. I do like the space in rural areas. This villages in USA just look so old and undeveloped like the government doesn’t give a fuck about those which in the Netherlands is not te case. Our villages here have no empty houses and our streets and businesses get updated just like in the bigger city’s.

[@CsImre]

At least the roads are nice. Go to Eastern Europe the roads will be shitty except the major ones.

[@elbarto4394]

Thanks to you I've added Alabama to the maybe retirement list. How are the taxes down there?

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

elbarto4394 property so Low!! Income not bad.. updates will come!

[@TheRekrap]

Taxes are not low! There is a 5% state income tax, upwards of 10% sales tax on including groceries. Alabama has some good qualities but low taxes ain't one of them!

[@elbarto4394]

@@TheRekrap I'm in NYC. State and sales tax are 9% plus city tax around 2% so it's cheaper than here

[@TheRekrap]

@@elbarto4394 you just proved my point, Alabama's combined sales tax (state and local) is only 1% lower than NYC. Compared to where I live in Florida with no state income tax, 7% sales tax (state and local) no sales tax on groceries.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

p s what is 10% taxes when housing is 4x more elsewhere?

To Mark! Actually I lived down in Coosa County & the locals called it altogether like “Wegufke” !

Sad to see how poor rural areas rlly are nobody talks abt rural poverty even tho it’s more of a problem you have thousands of trailer parks basically houses the size of a truck cargo and made of scrap metal u deff don’t see that as much in the city
