In a nutshell
Has a genuiness about it-I could easily live here
Hermanater Says: There is a war ship , sub, aircraft and armoured vehicles at this complex. You can take a self guided tour of the warship and a shorter one of the sub. It was very cool to actually see one up close.This museum is not funded by the governemt and relies on donations. It is...
Basaic Says: Probably the most famous plaza in Mobile is the Bienville Square. The park is named for Jean Baptiste LeMoyne Sieur de Bienville, Governor of Louisiana and founder of Mobile. It has a nice fountain, a monument to Bienville, and a gazebo. The park is open from 7 AM to 10 PM....
Basaic Says: This building is currently the home of the Mobile Bar Association; but was originally the office of Doctor Henry S. LeVert. LeVert was the Mobile Physician from 1829 to 1864 and was instrumental in bringing modern health care to the town. This Italianate building served as a...
Basaic Says: A much less visited museum, but one that I found interesting, was the Phoenix Fire Museum. The museum is housed in a restored 1859 firehouse and has a number of old fire engines, steamers, and other fire fighting displays shoehorned into the small building. The guy manning...
Basaic Says: Mobile has a nice Mardi Gras Museum that doubles as a mystery dinner theater. Admission covers an unlimited wine bar (may adversely affect your mystery solving abilities), a multi-course meal, and 2 1/2 hours of hilarity and mystery provided by the Mobile Mystery Dinner...
Basaic Says: A must for families with kids or for anyone fascinated by science (like me) is the Mobile Exploreum. This magnificent museum houses over 100 hands-on displays and interactive virtual reality games that teach kids of all ages about various aspects of science and are very...
Basaic Says: As you might imagine, since Mobile is a large city, there are quite a number of museums located here. The Museum of Mobile is one of the main ones. The Museum of Mobile is located in a building that was built in 1857 and housed the Southern Market and the Old City Hall. It...
Basaic Says: The Christ Church (Episcopal) was established in 1823 and is the oldest Episcopal congregation in Mobile and the state of Alabama. The cornerstone was laid in 1835 and the building was completed in 1842 by Bishop Leonidas Polk, the Bishop of Louisiana and Alabama. Polk also...
Government Street United Methodist Church
Basaic Says: Another beautiful and impressive church is the Government Street United Methodist Church founded in 1826. I really liked all the intricate detail work around the doors. Located a few blocks from the Admiral Semmes House just West of Broad Street.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
Basaic Says: The Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception has a long history and has been added on to several times over the years. It is a beautiful and very impressive church. The parish was established in 1703 by John-Baptiste de la Croix the Bishop of Quebec while Mobile was...
Basaic Says: The Oakleigh District, where the plantation was located, quickly became one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in Mobile. A number of the houses near the plantation are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is well worth a little time to drive or walk...
Basaic Says: There is another building onsite at Oakleigh which houses a large collection of archives with documents and photographs for more extensive research. Photography is not allowed indoors. Hours are 10 AM to 4 PM daily.
Basaic Says: The Cox Deasy Cottage is a fine example of a Gulf Coast cottage typical for a middle class family in the 1850s. It is another of the museums in the Oakleigh Museum Complex and is included in the ticket price for the Oakleigh Plantation Tour. Photography is not allowed...

Hooters: Decent Food, Great Waitresses
Basaic Says: Hooters is best known for their wings and the cute women running around in bright orange short shorts and Hooters T-Shirts. The food is usually pretty good, the selection of beers fine, and the women quite attractive. Decor tends to center around a bar atmosphere and sports....

Mobile is a Secret Southern Powerhouse!
Mobile has an ugly name. Let's just get that out there. Even if you pronounce it correctly, it's terrible. By the way, it's Mo-beel, not Mo-bile. Even back in 1702, when the city was founded by the......
