I love the heat here in Mobile

Moving here for an internship! Thank you for this video

There are lots of things about Mobile that I like; more than I dislike the heat, for sure. There is a lack of good public transport (if you don’t have a car, you’re pretty much stuck. The rain is not as bad as it is in Florida, where I grew up! And I love thunderstorms, too!

One word.....Snowbirds. Explains crazy drivers. Yes, I live in Mobile too.

My best take on Mobile is....Just don't! I have never had more unseasoned food pretending to be Cajun food than I did the week I spent there. And you want to talk about traffic? 🤣 Go drive Boston, or Chicago, Manhattan or Los Angeles then enjoy your easy to travel city!

The place to in that entire area !Great School System! Stay away from Mobile!

It's your accent. You don't have a Mobile accent, and I'm saying that as someone who also doesn't have one, but I'm not a native.

Terrible school system! Poor real estate in Mobile city!

Overall, Mobile traffic is like any other city---except for Airport blvd. Too many lights too close together. They stay red for a millineum, but thats not the bad thing. When the light finally DOES turn green, you could grow a beard waiting on people to GO. I find myself chanelling Miranda Priestly---"By all means move at a glacial pace you know how that thrills me".

I concur: The killings, traffic, litter and heat/humidity dull the shine of what might be a gem of a city but the first three is about people and, until the hearts and minds of the residents change, there will be no change. The humidity? Well, thank Willis Havilland Carrier for air conditioning.

Its a shame they are tearing down the baby superdome..Thats Mobile for ya...

"Mobile is too humid. Wahh." What's a matter? Didn't ya Momma teach 'cha how to breath underwater?"

I'm a born and raised Mobilian here and I agree with nearly everything you said here. I don't believe I've ever had anyone ask me "Are you from here?", but then again I speak with a typical Southern Al accent whereas you seem to have either lost or never had one. So I imagine all those folks asking "Are you from here" really mean to say "You don't sound like you're from here." I'm sure the more west you go, such as Semmes and Wilmer, the more you get asked, and I'm betting Midtown is your homebase. No judgement, I've worked with and for folks in nearly every zipcode, I dearly love the diversity of people who call this place home, whether they started their life experience here or not. ❤

Real

Same as a penny

This was a lot of fun. Credit to the students for showing up and staying all 4 quarters. Wish folks would show up like this for the Jags every week.

People listen if you going to move to a state in the Southeeastern U.S. especially in the Deep South then guess what? It's going to be HOT! Especially in the summer.

Moved to the area twelve year ago and I avoid the city of Mobile as much as possible , takes something really important to get me near downtown

A little bit of that guy goes a long way

You dont have Southern accent. Maybe, that's why they ask you if you're from Mobile.

I believe the phones are to blame for crazy droving

Surprised you made no mention of kiteboarding and wing foiling. OB is a known destination for those things. SUP also.

While the country heads into a recession Mobile is booming! Airbus and the South Alabama campus are the anchors of growth and prosperity. New construction, new businesses and better jobs are sprouting up everywhere.

Mo-beel. I have pronounced it that way my whole life. I have lived here my whole life. I guess it’s pronounced two ways since you were raised here too. The humidity is killer. My son moved to Texas. He says Mobile is boring. Not enough to do for young people. He is 24.

Sounds like driving in Florida. Is the average speed also 100+ mph?

Since Katrina Mobile has gotten worse and worse as far as traffic. Yes there is a lot of litter. The humidity is killer. I have been here 60 years. Mobile, pronounced Mo-beel, used to be wonderful. If I had the money I would move. One of my sons moved to Texas. He loves it. Crime is a lot worse. Mobile is boring.

Saraland rules!! Go Spartans!

Yeah, the humidity is like breathing through a hot wet sock!

Love the rain! But hate it when the sun comes right back out to steam everything back up again.

The litter absolutely infuriates me! We have a pretty city, STOP BEING TACKY, PUT TRASH WERE IT GOES!

Also a mobile local, dude is dead on.

The “people” quality has dropped out. Unfortunately.

I’m a Biloxi born. What I hate about it is the beauty of it is gone due to casinos and too many people now. I grew up in the sixties and seventies when it was awesome. No more country side out from DIberville were we used to swim at the rivers and ride dirt bikes. It sucks with crime and drugs. I’m about 35 miles away now in Wiggins.

Why does everyone feel the need to slow going thru the tunnel? As soon as you exit the tunnel, traffic starts flowing normally. You'd think there was a major wreck on the other side or something.

Back in the 80s and 90s off airport you had Sadie's which became duffs.. food was so good

I have lived in Mobile for the past 10 years. No one in Mobile does the speed limit. Most major roads are 40mph, and it is nothing to see cars going in excess of 50. I've had people pass me in the center turn lane.

Truly worst city to drive in like EVER

Having moved from Seattle to Mobile 3 years ago. Mobile isn't perfect but it's way nicer than Seattle. People wave as you drive around. Traffic is a thing but it's doable. All in all, I love it here!

Crazy to see all my fellow mobilians. I never see videos about Mobile. Any publicity is good publicity!

10 out of 10 wouldn't recommend Mobile, AL as a place to live or visit.

Dude I 10 runs right through your city lol I live 3 and half hours from Mobile, I love going through the tunnel 🫶🏽 living in Alabama is like getting all four seasons in the same week sometimes

Move quit niching

Only legitimate b!tch you have here is litter... if you notice that only happens in certain parts of town. Can't say why or it's racist. Traffic is a joke in two ways first these people can't drive with any courtesy even if it meant their life.... but that you think this traffic is bad shows you haven't traveled to places like New York or L.A.

when people ask where you from, they're referring to what local community

From Baldwin county, people have shit for brains NO DRIVING SHIT HEADS GOT HIT 3 TIMES IN 40 YEARS ON THE BAYWAY WORKED A WRECK ON BAYWAY MY WRECKER GOT THE WHOLE LEFT SGOT TORE OFF HIS INSURANCE COMPANY DIDN'T WANT TO PAY SO I HIRED A LAWYER WE HAD A MEETING I GOT PISSED OFF CALED MY INSURANCE COMPANY THEY PAID 60,000 DOLLARS AND SUED THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY ITOLD THEM TO BANKRUPT THEM AND I WOULD SELL MY HALF FOR A NICKLE ON THE DOLLAR THEY TRIED TO MAKE AMENDS THEY FOUND OUT THAT WHEN A PISSED OFF MARINE NO PRISONERS ESTABLISH BEACHHEAD DIG IN AND GET TO IT NO MATTER THE COST

I hate Hipster Portland wannabees. Mobile aint bad. Try DC, Phoenix, or LA is you want to see bad traffic. The a freeways in Phoenix that would take me 2 hours to go 9 miles on a regular afternoon commute.

I was born and raised here in Mobile too and I can tell you the only thing you can truly love about it is the four weeks or so of temperatures below 80 degrees in the Winter. Well actually that is when we're lucky enough to get a Winter because some years we don't even get any cold weather!

I live forty miles north of Birmingham. Would love to visit but cant afford it.
