Yes but they got the idea when a 6 year old named "Johnny Dennison" sent in a letter suggesting it

It’s not a swamp, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

The thing about Trump is just how in touch he is with "the little people" of Huntsville who have been misunderstood and disrespected by rich urban elites over the years. Finally someone who really sees and gets them in all of their local particularity. Like when he names their town "Rocket City."

Don't forget all of our wonderful buildings in Huntsville and on Redstone Arsenal named after a Nazi scientist 🤷

Im sure national security can hold for hurricanes and weather events. And with that education system in Alabama, we can expect more unplanned rapid deterioration events.

May I introduce you to Huntsville’s official Minor League Baseball team, the Rocket City Trash Pandas? Not only is it proof that Huntsville has long been known as Rocket City, but it’s also the best team mascot name ever.
