@Joe Villeneuve Right now Huntsville is a hot market because of the high ends jobs and all the upcoming improvement as well, the new FBI headquarters, toyota plant, new baseball stadium, and some other things as well.

And I'm not positive, but I think that there are people planted in the audience to be the first ones to slam their notebook shut and run to the front, just to encourage others.
