Alabama, you shit hole

Post by whatwouldcooleydo? »

A “poop train” with millions of pounds of excrement carted in from New York has been stuck in a rural Alabama town for months now in regulatory purgatory, and no one knows when it will leave.

The town of Parrish, Alabama, population 982, has been taken over by the stench, which residents describe as more of a rotting carcass smell with a whiff of human waste, due to the way it was treated. (It’s technically called “biosolids.”) The train is stuck in a rail yard next to a softball field. People can’t sit outside, children can’t play outside, and the town is considering rescheduling little league games. The threat of the summer heat looms.

............

According to the AP, it’s common for Northern states to ship their waste to rural areas in the South, and landfills on inexpensive land can make good money from the practice. An Alabama attorney general once described one of Alabama’s landfills as “America’s biggest industrial pay toilet.”


Wonder if the train is named The General Sherman???

Also, this would make a good Weird Al song, to the tune of Peace Train

Lowndes Co is indeed very poor. Part of the Black Belt.

Try visiting nearby Selma sometime. That will make you sad too. I was there for the first time in (then) 47 years to see Hood. Very historic visiting the marchers museum and driving over the Edmund Pettus bridge. Besides a few nice churches and buildings downtown near the venue, not much else.

wasn't sure where to put this, decided this thread was the closest fit (without starting a new thread)

Alabama Musician Whines About Being ‘Completely Screwed’ After Threatening to Shoot Immigrant Families on Social Media

“I’ll tell ya what I’ll volunteer to shoot their asses when they approach the border. Problem solved. No more illegal fucks coming in here. Period,” the post read. “I don’t give a shit about them, their kids, their shitty life or asylum. I care about American kids and American families. You’ve got to be a complete idiot to not get it, but then again we are talking about the libtard agenda. Liberalism is a mental disorder and I’m damn sure glad that I’m not dumb shit.”

From WWCD's link above:

One canceled gig was at Pablo’s Restaurante & Cantina (the irony never ends), in Birmingham’s Shops of Colonnade shopping center. The restaurant manager, Putu Primanta, told AL.com that he canceled McCain’s show, scheduled for Tuesday, in response to the backlash.

“I’m an immigrant myself. I’m from Indonesia and I work in the Mexican restaurant here, and I’m doing the booking for the restaurant,” Primanta said Tuesday afternoon. “Our clientele is from many different backgrounds, and I was afraid it was going to hurt our business. I’m just here trying to make a living and be friends with everybody.”


This restaurant is about five minutes from my house. The next time we're in there, I'm gonna thank them.

I used to work at BellSouth there--I guess it's all AT&T now, if it's still there--and we'd walk down to the restaurants down a long, long outdoors staircase. My memory is fuzzy sometimes: Is that the same part of Colonnade?

I've told this before: the first album I ever bought with my own scrilla was a Jerry Clower record, at Ernest Tubb's Record Store in Nashville. It was just after Stringbean was murdered, I remember vividly how people were still really on edge

Officials Warn of Wasp ‘Super Nests’ in Alabama


When James Barron went into his smokehouse in southern Alabama to grab an ax, he was alarmed to see a giant wasp nest about seven feet wide extending along the wall. It had been two months since he had last stepped foot inside.

Charles Ray, an entomologist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, drove to Mr. Barron’s home and confirmed the colony was a “super nest” — one that survives into a second year. He told Mr. Barron there were probably 15,000 to 18,000 wasps in the smokehouse.


That super nest was one of four in Alabama that Mr. Ray has confirmed this year. There are usually only one or two super nests spotted each year, in June and July, Mr. Ray said. In 2006, however, he recorded 90. “I expect to approach that number this year,” Mr. Ray said.

They're gonna need to lure them into the Superdome, a la The Savage Bees!
