I thought the same thing after a few days at a cycling spring training camp in rural Alabama this year. The poverty and segregation were shocking for a developed country. The lack of rural commercial activity was also notable compared with other quiet states like Vermont. Coincidentally or not, Hyundai just built a big assembly plant near Montgomery.
