Alabama Music Cities: Huntsville

Huntsville, AL - a.k.a. Rocket City. It's got NASA's Marshall Center, the Army's Redstone Arsenal, and a major FBI operational center. It's got the highest engineering degrees per capita in the whole U.S. And now, it has an administration who wants to build it into a Music City with intentional and committed policymaking. But there's no guarantee that if you build it, they will come. I traveled to northern Alabama to interview folks involved, and hear their takes on why they think it will work - or not.
