And home of SolidEarth.com, a MLS provider.  Grand Rapids has just converted to their LISTIT product and it's wonderful.  Matt Fowler, CEO, affectionately refers to Huntsville as Silicone Holler.

Sounds like a wonderful town.  Thanks for spreading the news.

WOW, the list just goes on and on!  What a great place to live, huh?!  You should use this in your relocation packages--a great way to sell Huntsville!

Hi Walter.  Lots of positives with Huntsville.  Is it on the Robert Trent Jones Trail?  Perhaps.

Keep rocking,

Ken
