Although I cannot speak for all of Alabama and am just one opinion here, it seems as though a lot of the providers visit the Birmingham area due to it's proximity to a bigger airport (cheaper flights into Bham most of the time). Birmingham is also just about equal in distance from Montgomery (to the south) and Huntsville (to the north), two of the bigger cities where Eccie members reside. You honestly can't go wrong with a visit to Birmingham, but I probably made some of our fellow Mobile/Dothan members a bit upset. I'll let them chime in with their opinion!
