[@cdixon4560]

Thank you Jeff for these awesome drives. I look forward to them every week. I grew up in Mobile, graduated from USA, and regrettably move away to work. But will be coming home soon after retirement.

[@livinginmobile]

Thank you for the compliment, I love getting to do it!

You passed by many of the places in Mobile that were my stomping grounds when I lived there in the 1950s. I went to the Old Shell Road School for first grade in 1951-52 and to UMS for the 7th grade in 1057-58. At that time it was military, all boys and day school only. I boarded with a widow whose son was a junior and quarterback on the football team. I learned to swim in the pool at the Mobile Country Club. Back then Old Shell Road was still paved with shells.

[@livinginmobile]

wow, that is super cool! Yep, UMS has been around for a while. So glad I could bring back some memories.

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

My parents played golf at the Azalea City Golf Course, so we often drove from past USA and took Old Shell Rd to Schillinger. Back in the mid 80s I don't remember much more than a narrow road with red clay ditches on both sides. It sure has built up since I was a kid. Keep up the great videos. Making me homesick!

[@livinginmobile]

Yes. It’s grown soooooo much!

[@maryjanealcasa7549]

Mobile native here in Green Bay, WI starting to look at a move home. I love these videos. I’m at the 2 minute mark of this one getting excited because Jeff might mention McGill-Toolen and St.Mary’s. My alma maters!

[@livinginmobile]

So many great things along Old Shell! Reach out if I can help in any way!

[@coachwillwesttexas]

@@livinginmobile Might be a year away but absolutely will do!!! Love your work! Keep up the great job!

[@joseyeastwood]

I remember Dauphin street used to flood really bad when I lived there and I definitely miss Rodger's Ribs I still tell me about that place yummy.

[@livinginmobile]

They are certainly working on the flooding issue, but I think it is still an issue.

[@PomelloRBLX]

Great video as always! Thanks for these videos on this city, I honestly learn things that I didn't know before. I'm glad that you mentioned ASMS, I graduated from there in 2017 and every time I see the midtown area it brings back good memories. There was a place called Cream & Sugar and that was the go-to place for ASMS students before it unfortunately closed. Also I noticed you were the drummer for Big Daddy Weave and if I remember correctly, back in 2012-2013 when I went to Faith Academy we had the former drummer for Big Daddy Weave (I'm assuming that was you lol) come during one of our chapel services. It's been a while but when I saw that you were part of that band that memory immediately came to mind. Totally unrelated but I thought I'd mention that.

[@livinginmobile]

Ha. Yep. That was me. Small world!! Thanks for the kind words! More videos to come soon.

[@joseyeastwood]

I worked at the school of math and science when I lived down there and yes the kids are really smart.

[@livinginmobile]

Those are the kids who I always admired.

[@UnitedSchemerCA]

Are all the street traffic lights string lined? Just curious

[@livinginmobile]

I would say yes, although I’m no street light specialist, LOL

[@Sirg17x]

Curious what freezing means in Alabama.

[@livinginmobile]

ha, it was probably about 45 that day, haha

[@Sirg17x]

@@livinginmobile Sounds beautiful to me. I am sure with everyone who reaches out to you, you probably already know. Our lowest temp this last winter was -52 with wind-chill if I remember correctly and hit -60 or -65 the year before. I keep telling my wife we moved the wrong direction.

Mardi started in Mobile, Alabama,. ,but it was not America. It was New France. Mardi Gras started in New Orleans, when the country became America. New Orleans started Mardi Gras in America. Mobile started Mardi Gras in New France, before America existed.... We are Americans and you must go by what was started in our country The United States of America... Please stop the anger or jeously. The states belongs to the Americans. Tax payers and citizens of America. The American States do not go by where you were born..... No state goes on top of Another. One State, one City, and one Country....
