Please share some interesting facts about your state. I'll do Alabama later today. Have some errands to do before a scout troop camp out tonight...
Edit: ok, got a few minutes delay so I will go ahead and do Alabama now!
1. Alabama introduced Mardi Gras to the western world. New Orleans took after Mobile, AL.
2. The Saturn V rockets that put the Apollo missions on the moon were built in AL.
3. It is the only state with all the natural resources needed to make iron and steel. Birmingham was nicknamed Steel City because of it. Auto manufacturers are now pouring into AL because of the natural resources.
4. AL has the only Mercedes Benz plant outside of Germany.
5. Honda Pilots, Ridgelines, Odysseys and Acura MDXs are made in AL.
6. AL was nicknamed the Heart of Dixie because Montgomery was the original capital of the Confederacy.
7. AL resident Sequoyah devised the phonetic, written alphabet of the Cherokee language.
8. Hank Aaron, Joe Louis and Willie Mays are all from AL.
9. Huntsville, AL is the "rocket capital of the world" and contains Redstone Arsenal. Huntsville is a major hub of NASA.
10. The Alabama Crimson Tide football team has won more championships than any other college team since polling started in the 1930s.
