  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As the oldest registered distillery in the country, Jack Daniels Distillery has a long and storied history of crafting some of the best spirits around. Fortunately, you can customize your experience through various distillery tours.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Each tour is focused on a different part of the distillery’s history and spirit making process. We’ve put together brief overviews of each tour below.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Angel’s Share Tour was named after an expression that refers to the evaporation that some whiskey batches experience, usually about 2% a year. The tour takes you through Jack Daniel's Distillery and then to one of the barrel houses onsite. Here, you’ll be treated to samplings from barrels stored in the highest reaches as well as stories about expressions from the Single Barrel collection.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           On this tour, you’ll be led through the distillery by a seasoned storyteller, who will teach you about the history of the facility as well as the traditions of whiskey making in Tennessee. Afterward, you’ll end up at one of the more famous barrel houses on the property, Barrel House 1-14, where you’ll be treated to a flight of some of the most popular Jack Daniels whiskeys and liquors.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For those who want to learn more about the distillery without partaking of any of the spirits, we highly recommend the Dry County Distillery Tour. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Not only is the tour 100% whiskey free, but it also is the most focused on the history behind Jack Daniels. You’ll learn more about the distillery as well as the life and accomplishments of the distillery’s founder, Mr. Jack. The tour is suitable for all ages, which can make for a great day trip for the family
          &#xD;

           The Dry County Distillery Tour lasts about 70 minutes.

           The Bonded Tour
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The name of this tour refers to bottled-in-bond whiskeys, high-quality spirits that meet the strict standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. The Bonded Tour explores the innovations of whiskey making that came from this period while also taking you through the crafting process of two of a newer bonded line of Jack Daniel’s whiskeys.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           You’ll end the Bonded Tour with an exclusive tasting in the distillery’s original Revenuer's office.

           Antiquing feels more like treasure hunting than shopping. The thrill of finding the perfect item from bygone eras is far better than the temporary dopamine hit from a trip to the department store. Every item feels rare and unique, and every piece has a story behind it. If you are looking to pick up a few new, old treasures of your own, here are our tips for antiquing in Huntsville, Alabama.

           Here are a few things you should do before entering the antique shop.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Create “mood boards” to get an idea about the styles you are drawn to. You can do this by making collages with magazines or using an app like Pinterest.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Walk around your home and see what kinds of items you might need. Could you use a lamp? A vase? Write it down!
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Start getting specific about what you are looking for. What materials or colors would work with the room? What about size? Take photos and measurements to make sure you find the right fit.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Do Some Research
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Now that you know what you want to look for, you should educate yourself about the items you plan to buy. Background research about the style, time period, and earmarks of the items you are looking for can help you find the perfect piece.

           Here are some places you can start researching:

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Google is a great resource. Start by taking a picture using Google Lens and see what comes up! You’d be surprised what information is a click away.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;

            Online Retailers:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Don’t knock online retailers until you’ve tried them. A surprising amount of information can be found on eBay and Etsy. Remember to use this as a starting point, and always fact-check. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

            Ask the Dealers:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             If you have questions, ask the shop owner. They will usually know the history of the piece. If they don’t know, they will know where to find the answer for you.

           Look Everywhere

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Look up, look down, and all around when you enter an antique shop. Treasures are hiding in every nook and cranny! Antique shops are often filled to the brim with items of all shapes and sizes. Make sure you don’t miss any by looking from floor to ceiling.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Here are some places to look, and what to look for:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Check inside and under furniture: There are often goodies stacked on the floor and hidden in drawers. Make sure you look everywhere for hidden gems. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Check the walls and ceilings: Many stores will hang items from the rafters for extra storage space, so keep your eyes peeled!
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Check flea markets and thrift shops: In addition to antique stores, flea markets and second-hand stores are great places to find vintage and antique items.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Shop Around
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Don’t be afraid to shop around. There are so many antique stores to explore, and endless treasures waiting to be found. Antiques may be more unique than the mass-produced things on the market today, but that’s the beauty of it! There will always be another beautiful, one-of-a-kind treasure. You don’t have to commit to the first one you find.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Here are some tips for savvy shopping:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Take a break:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            If you aren’t sure if that piece is “the one”, take a little shopping break.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Avoid Impulse Purchases
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            : Grab a coffee for an hour or take a week to think about it. If you still want it, get it. Most antique shops have slow turnover, so it will most likely still be there.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Compare the Price:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             The internet is your friend. If you found a piece you like, but at a price you aren’t sure of, see if you can find it elsewhere. Some stores are willing to negotiate on price if you have recites. If they aren’t willing to match, then order from the other dealer. Just make sure to authenticate first!
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Are you looking for a new city to call home? Why don’t you give Rocket City life a try? Now the largest city in the state, Huntsville Alabama (aka “Rocket City) has been 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://www.al.com/news/huntsville/2023/12/more-and-more-people-are-moving-to-huntsville-where-are-they-from.html" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      
           growing rapidly
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , and it’s not hard to see why. Famous for its booming tech sector, and rich history, Huntsville has a lot to offer. Here are just some of the many reasons you’ll love living in Huntsville.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Let’s be honest, the cost of living is one of the biggest factors to consider when it comes to deciding where to settle down. Luckily for the residents of Rocket City, Huntsville ranks well on most cost of living metrics. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           According to the

          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , Huntsville Alabama is 12% below the national average for cost of living. This is largely due to housing and healthcare costs being significantly lower than the national average. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            housing can take some time due to a housing shortage, but don’t let that discourage you. You can still enjoy all that Huntsville has to offer by taking advantage of

           for less traditional housing options.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Whether you choose to buy or rent your home, Huntsville offers all the best parts of city life, without the big city price tags.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Most of us have to work to live, that’s just a fact of life. Luckily, Huntsville has a lot of amazing job opportunities to choose from, especially for those interested in STEM.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           There’s a reason that Huntsville’s nickname is “Rocket City”. During the Space Race of the 1950s and 1960s, the rockets that put men on the moon were developed in Huntsville. Since then, big names in engineering, technology, and defense have 
          &#xD;

           planted roots in the city
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . NASA, Boeing, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin are just a few of the big players in the Huntsville area. United States Military positions represent a significant portion of employment opportunities in the area. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you aren’t into tech, don’t worry! Though science and technology are major drivers of the city’s economy, they aren’t the only employment options. As the saying goes: “a rising tide raises all ships”. Overall, Huntsville is rated as

           If you are interested in pursuing higher education, you can’t find a better city. Residing in Huntsville means living close to

           &#xD;
      &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Did you know that Huntsville was once named “Twickenham”? That’s one of the many facts you’ll learn in the city’s first Historic Preservation District. See the state’s largest collection of pre-Civil War Homes in Old Town. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

             If you need more nature than a garden can provide, try visiting a forest. The William B. Bankhead National Forst covers over 181,000 acres of untouched woodlands, just outside of the city, the perfect distance for a weekend away.

           Check Hours and Admission Fees: Museums can have varying hours and ticket prices, so it’s a good idea to verify before you visit.

           Look for Discounts: Many museums offer discounts for military personnel, seniors, and children, so do some research before visiting.
