Crossword Genius

Still recalled Michigan, going to city in Alabama (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

immobile

'still' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recalled michigan going to city in alabama' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'michigan' becomes 'mi' (state letters).
'going to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'city in alabama' becomes 'mobile' (I've seen this in another clue).
'mi' back-to-front is 'im'.
'im'+'mobile'='IMMOBILE'

(Other definitions for immobile that I've seen before include "Static" , "Motionless" , "Not capable of movement" , "rooted" , "fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
