I lived in Huntsville up until the time shortly after Reagan was elected.

Last I was there, it may have been one of the biggest cities in Alabama, but it really wasn't a big city. There was UAH(Univ of Hunts in AL), but other than that, mostly land and really not that big of a population. The neighborhood I was at, there was a big playground, another big playground in another part of the neighborhood...but now? When my brother went there over 10 years ago, one of the big playgrounds I mentioned here is now FILLED with HOMES/APARTMENTS(ie-no baseball field, no place to ride your bikes in, etc). So from pretty much I got from my brother, they pretty much filled up all the land in a 20 year or so space since I lived there.

Also, I remember there was a Baptist Church in town that would drive the bus around my neighborhood every Sun to pick up kids to go to their Sun school if they chose to go. I went for a couple of years. I can't remember the church, but where you are, do they do this on Sundays for kids?

BTW - I went to Woodlawn Elementary(it's been ages since I've been there, so it's not like this is super-private information I'm giving over the net). Does this school still exist?

Hmm I'm not familiar with Woodlawn Elementary -- where exactly was it located? What part of Huntspatch?
