I was just here. We drove up from lauderdale to check out the Pan Handle. I am originally from Boston so I actually never been to the south. I always have been fascinated with Alabama. So the wife and I took a hour and 3 min ride and spent the day in Mobile. One of the best cities I have been to. Just a gem. The houses and the streets. Washington Park was beautiful. Everyone was so nice. You need to go see this city. So much history. I want to go to mardis gras there. Being from the north we only hear the wrong about the the south. The south is amazing! Love it. We are actually thinking about moving to Pensacola. I will frequently be in Bama. My next stop is Mississippi.

I live in Florida but love coming back to visit Mobile for the quaintness, historical feel, nature, food, n MArdi Gras parades n revelry. I took my friend from Miami last year and she loves Mobile n Festivities that she is coming back next month.Gotta make popular restaurant reservations 2 to 3 weeks in advance of Mardi Gras. Best Seafood Ever in Mobile AL n causeway. Some People who live in Mobile Don’t appreciate what Mobile has to offer. People everywhere are like that. For instance some people lived all their life their n never visited Bellingrath Garden which is awesome especially during spring and they even had Christmas lights - the best I’ve ever been too . Even the yearly Nutrcracker Ballet performance is to die for. I get mad when people say my dads hometown is country n backwards but it could be further from the truth. They have so many performing art venues like plays, ballets, jazz, classical, blues, museums, etc. also if you love nature, you’ve got that too in Mobile. I love the 3 delta river prerervation/ center too.I’m never bored when I go to Mobile AL. It’s also so close to Pensacola beach, Gulf shores beach, New Orleans, Biloxi Mississippi Casinos.

I get he means though people sorta mind their own business which is nice honestly. I live in a small midwest town of maybe 25k people, where gossip and everyone elses life is always up for discussion. I used to live in a slightly bigger town maybe half the size of Mobile that was a similar way. Perfectly nice and safe town. There were a few areas you tended to not go, but you had no need to go there and as long as you minded your own business and lived your life without obstructing another's life you were all good. It gets so exhausting hearing everyone in your town's life story every time anyone opens their mouth.
