      I’ve been fully many times before, and I love it there! I haven’t been to forever 21, but I have been to Iowa, but I was too scared to get on the rides, but the track is very fun especially if you’re in for a little bit of a spook like I am, and I have to ride with a side of person because of not being able to see when I’m in the go cart and I can see a little bit, to make things safer I want to ride with someone that is sided so that way I can go in the go carts without worrying about ramming into everyone

      @plotagoner2335 The track is fun! We used to go there sometimes when I was in college not too far away.

    The best thing about Foley is that it’s central to Pensacola, Mobile, Fairhope/Daphne, and Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Homes are priced a little lower. It’s relatively quiet but just 20-45 minutes to all the other places. Plenty of shopping for what you need, and the entertainment is mostly in the other towns nearby.

    I am a Home Inspector in South Alabama and I have performed more inspections from people from out of state in 2021 than I have the whole time I have been a Home Inspector. I have so many clients from out of state, that I put up a video on my channel, letting them know what to expect when they move here.

      Can you become home inspector by getting a Real Estate License first and NOT going into sales? Or just you go into some sort of sales first ? Thank you for your reply.

    OWA is a really neat concept, but it was a ghost town every time we went by it. I think COVID is really hurting this new attraction. We LOVED our time in Foley! One of my favorite places we have been! We spent 2 months there. We stayed right down the road from the railroad museum and never made it inside, so thanks for sharing it! Drowsy Poet was our favorite!!! Did you check out Yabba Snack Shack??

    • @AikenAdventures
      @AikenAdventures  Před 3 lety +1

      Never heard of the Yabba Snack Shack! I guess we missed out!
      OWA definitely has some potential. If we hadn’t already planned to go to Lamberts for the sake of the video, we would definitely have eaten at Paula Deen’s, and that Hershey’s Ice Cream Parlor was calling our name, but we managed to be good.

    So I just went to Pensacola to look for a home (Beulah near the new NFCU). Just found the same home by the same builder for 40k less in Foley. How does Pensacola and Foley compare (aside from state income tax)

    • @AikenAdventures
      @AikenAdventures  Před 3 lety

      I don’t know much about the cost of living difference between the two. There seems to be a lot of development taking place in Foley, Alabama, now, but I’m fairly certain that Pensacola is a much larger town.

    • @ritchiestringer3711
      @ritchiestringer3711 Před 3 lety +1

      @@AikenAdventures Financially I am not concerned about the differences. Moreso I wonder how the downtown area compares as Pensacola right now is a bit torn down from the storm from September. Also there is a big increase in the homeless population in Pensacola so I wonder if that is noticeable in Foley. I'll be going there in a few weeks and am just curious what you noticed as "tourists"

    • @AikenAdventures
      @AikenAdventures  Před 3 lety +1

      I didn’t notice any homeless in Foley, but we did see them in Pensacola, and I was surprised that there does seem to be an uptick in homelessness there as compared to when we lived there even 5 years ago. The downtown areas of Foley is much more of a small-town feel.

      I’m not sure about that specific area, but you should be able to search online for a cost of living tool.
      There are some tools that let you put in your dollar amount for where you currently live and then put in a different zip code for comparison and it will tel you how much you need to make in that area by comparison.
