Journal Tsar's Journal: Geeks Welcome in Rocket City, Alabama
Thinking of moving south? CNN.com has a puff piece about Huntsville, Alabama, also known as "Rocket City," and how its high-tech economy has thrived through the recession. Interesting tidbits: One of every 13 people is an engineer, and 60% of the companies in town were started by former employees of NASA and the missile programs. The story gives Werner Von Braun the credit for bringing NASA and high-tech to this southern town, now a hotspot of aerospace, computer & telcom technology, as well as some cool websites and a huge rocketry club.
