Default Gadsden, AL questions . . .

Hey guys,

I'm looking at relocating for a job soon and the company is based in Gadsden, AL. Can anyone tell me about the city or area in general? What to look for or avoid? Decent place to move to/live? I figured this would be the most appropriate area to post this in.

My wife works in Gadsden and it's a pretty nice little town. It's not so large that it has went to hell yet, but it's big enough so there is stuff to do. The Coosa river runs right thru it and there's a nice riverfront area. They have also just "revived" the downtown area with alot of new shops and stuff. If you come down to look around, shoot me a PM and I'll show you some of the nicer places.

It's a pretty decent place to live. You should come down and check it out. Southside and Rainbow city are good areas to find a home.

Its very active. You should go to www.alabamaracingscene.net a they have a Gadsden forum so you can get to know all the other F-Body ppl and general good guys there. There is also http://bhamfbody.com which is the Birmingham F-Bod Association. Great group of guys and girls always looking to do cool stuff. I think you will love it.

Thanks for all the info guys. The company is called Dixie Tool & Die, they build metal stamping dies and special machinery. If everything is a go on their end, I think I'm headed that way. Just got back from visiting/interviewing over Thurs/Fri.
