Birmingham metro area is 1.1 million and growing.

I noticed before that you love to bag on Birmingham. I have lived in both Huntsville and Birmingham and know the difference. Most people do not understand what a metropolitan area is.

That being said Birmingham has zero shot at Amazon. I would guess Atlanta, then Charlotte or Raleigh-Durham. Austin would be the natural fit but I do not think the liberals want to be in Texas.
