Mayor of Orange Beach welcomed us yesterday. Didnt realize OB is only 42 years old, being incorporated in 84.

Yes I have been to Fairhope really nice place.

Some places in alabama are nice, but they are overshadowed by the vast number that are less than attractive. Same for the people - some are great, but many are really "special" in a bama kind of way (trying to say that as nice as I can without being vulgar). All that being said, nowhere in the state I would live. Already done that - twice, and couldn't wait to get back to Tennessee both times.

I though LA was Lower Alnwick (Maryville - William Blount area).

Great bar and a legendary Bushwacker. Here is my story though from a visit a few months back. Came out to my car around midnight to have two girls come up to me letting me know someone in a very large truck hit my car and drove off AND they had gotten his license plate. Two good samaritans. I had to call the police for the insurance claim and when they ran the plate, the culprit lived in Tuscaloosa. He also owned a popular business there and apparently is Bama booster. Public record showed he owned a second home in Orange Beach.
The good samaritans said it was a large crash noise and the guy had gotten out to see the damage before driving off.
Classy bamer!

Lived in Foley and worked in Gulf Shores for 4 years. FloraBama was more of a dive bar and much smaller before Hurricane Ivan destroyed it 2004. They do throw some killler parties.

Used to have a sign over the bar that said:
“For $2.00, you can get a beer and your ass whipped.” Don’t know if they got another one after the hurricane that destroyed the old bar. Obviously at $2.00 for a beer, that was a while ago.

Gulf Shores/Orange Beach is one of my favorite spots. Lived in the Mobile area for a few years, met some really good people, met some not so good people. Was happy to get back home to Tennessee. Still like to go down to visit though.
