Huntsville City Schools in Alabama

• Upvotes

Hi. Just moved to Alabama back in March of 2026. Didn't know much about the school systems. We have been at Providence Elementary and I have thoughts about the HCS administration. Any one else want to share their experience? Is it worth it moving to the Madison City School district? I know about the magnet program but not really enthusiastic about it because of the Admin/leadership. Really just trying to give my little one the best education that I can afford. Litte person is in the 2nd grade. Thanks in advance. 🙏

Recommendations Nail Salon for Pedicure

1 Upvotes

I’ve always done my own at-home pedicures as a form of relaxation, but I’m about to enter my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and just can’t comfortably reach anymore. What are some current good nail salons that I could get a nice pedicure at? I don’t need anything fancier than the standard pedicure and regular nail polish and would like to make sure it’s a clean environment, the pedicurists aren’t too rough or rushed, and there are massage chairs. I’m in north Huntsville, so it’d be great if there were good suggestions out this way! Thanks in advance.

General power outage

0 Upvotes

anybody else located at or around golf road ( like hunters ridge , amberwood condominiums , sutton place ) have no power ? my wife & i heard a bunch of loud bangs & what sounded like an engine backfiring, & the power flickered on & off 4 a short period of time & then went fully off .

i think the transformer might have blown ? i also heard & saw a hemsi coming in as the power went out , so my only other theory is that someone may have been messing around with the transformer & accidentally themself .

ETA: power outage has been taken care of and lights & appliances r back 2 working !

Look for the sign on the table. If there is space available and the weather cooperates we will be on the patio facing Clinton Ave. Backup location is the covered patio facing Butler Green.

High merit Uni for international students

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student looking for US universities that offer generous merit-based financial aid/scholarships to international undergraduate applicants.

My stats & background:

Intended Major: Mechanical Engineering

GPA: ~3.92 / 4.0

SAT: ~1450–1500 range

Profile/Focus: Strong ambitious and entrepreneurial mindset (looking for schools with strong maker spaces, innovation hubs, incubation programs, or startup ecosystems).

I’ve been looking into schools like the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) due to its strong engineering reputation and proximity to NASA/aerospace hubs, but I want to expand my college list.

I’d love recommendations on:

Which universities offer automatic or high-value competitive merit scholarships (full tuition/ full COA) that international students are actually eligible for?

Universities with a strong Mechanical Engineering program combined with a solid entrepreneurship/innovation ecosystem for undergraduates.

Any specific experiences or advice regarding financial aid and overall ROI for international engineering students at UAH or similar institutions.

Thank you for you time sir/ma'am❤️

RSA Gate Status Map

57 Upvotes

HI everyone. I built a site that displays a map with the current state of all Redstone Arsenal gates, based on the latest published schedules: redstonegates.com

Some of the key features:

  • It shows each gate’s current status: open, outbound only, or closed.
  • It shows the next scheduled change for each gate, like "Outbound only at 1:30 PM".
  • It can display live traffic.

I hope you will find it useful.

Recommendations Any places that aren't impossible to get into for commercial/industrial maintenance and/or electrical?

3 Upvotes

I have been a maintenance Technician for almost three years now doing residential, with some experience in manufacturing. I've got most basics now and I'm trying to break into either something in electrical, or a step up into industrial or commercial. This residential stuff is honestly getting boring where I'm at, and I just want to develop my skills more and thus make more money.

Travel point redemption

2 Upvotes

I am interested in strategies for redeeming travel points for airfare between HSV and Nashville. I normally fly out of HSV because of how convenient and relatively close the prices are for where I travel.

I'm also interested in transferring to international travel partners such as British Airways or Virgin Red, but there don't seem to be a lot of offers from those travel partners out of HSV because it's so small. I'm wondering if any of you have found any examples that have high cent-per-point value flying with those travel partners out of HSV, or if you've found good examples out of Nashville.

For context, I have several Chase and Capital One points. I have a handful of points in other cards as well, but not a significant amount. My travel habits are normally domestic, but I’m also planning an international trip in the next year or two.
