If you are not close to Mobile or from the South, a lot of people don't even consider Mobile or Alabama's Gulf Coast an option. You should! The beaches are clean, prices aren't too expensive, people are friendly, the water is beautiful. Mobile itself has good points too. Lots of things to do--from going out to shopping to cultural events. The weather, though they do get a lot of rain here (but in short amounts) is pretty remarkable. When it's hot, it's definitely HOT, but there's beaches close by so it's not bad. The winters are often mild with perhaps a couple cold days a year. The sunny, clear days are perfect. |
|  | The location Mobile is located close to Pensacola, Florida; Biloxi, Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana--all are convenient day trips and very popular places to visit. I don't understand how Mobile is so often overlooked. For me, it was my first choice for college...I graduated University of South Alabama |
The people Everyone is so nice! I made wonderful friends with whom I'll never lose contact. This is my friend (and former roommate) Heather...we meet up from time to time when her job takes her up the Atlantic seaboard (she works as a deckhand on a personal yacht) My 1st wonderful trip to Savannah was to meet her at Thunderbolt:) We had the best time! | | |

| Pros: | "Not a tourist trap, lots of history (first Mardi Gras), good fishing, close to Pensacola, Biloxi and New Orleans" | | Cons: | "Can get a little chilly in the winter, in the city, you'll be shocked how some people just throw trash out of their cars, traffic can be somewhat congested" | | In A Nutshell: | "Mobile/Gulf Shores is a great place to go." |

Fantastic Mobile page! Wow. Great work. | tony248 Sun Jun 10, 2007 04:12 UTC
More to see in Mobile than I thought! When we go back to Pensacola, we will have to make time for more of Mobile than we have seen. I'm a HEAVY metal fan so I loved Battleship Park. :) | Anchovy56 Tue May 8, 2007 21:06 UTC
Yeap the people littering the streets of Memphis and the kids selling the Sunday paper at major stoplights. The things you see when you don't have your gun... | jungles Fri Apr 7, 2006 16:51 UTC
Mobile is my hometown and I was always so eager to get away from it. I guess lots of people feel like that about wherever they're from. You've done a great job of portraying it, though; almost makes me want to go back! |
