    I was married at the 1st Baptist church on Government. My two favorite park is Cathedral sq. and Cooper riverside park. I went in the Battle house hotel and took pictures right after it was renovated. It is a beautiful and historic hotel. @ 13:40 you are standing almost on the same exact spot where I took a picture of my daughter during mardi gras from a few years ago. BTW I was raised in and around Detroit but my ex wife is from Mobile and introduced me to it. Very beautiful, historic, and enchanting place. BTW Mobile has the oldest highrise in the southeast which is the Van Antwerp hotel. on Royal street. My favorite skyscraper btw is the historic 1920's artdeco Merchants bank bldg. kitty corner from Beinville sq. BTW my home town of Detroit has two tunnels to Canada, one vehicular and one railroad. By coincidence I think both Detroit and Mobile are two of just five cities in America with under water tunnels. My daughter btw had a scool field trip to Fort Conde and yes, that cathedral gives tours. I just had to plug Hamtramck Michigan which is an enclave of Detroit for its beignet's since you brought it up :)

    I'm considering moving here. My mom grew up in Panama City (not too far from here). The beaches actually look a hell of a lot cleaner than the nasty ones I surfed at all along the California coast. California is too restrictive on small businesses and is a liberal hellhole.

    Rascism is everywhere in different degrees, shape and form.Some cities are more diverse but it’s still there and then you have different ethnic/ minorities against other minorities. It’s the world we live in unfortunately. Try to make things right, try to live right, and try to live to the fullest with the one life you are given. People also have the POWER of choice. Also have the choice to believe in GOD. People should help other people to improve their lot in life n make them aware of opportunities to make a better life. A lot of People in America that are poor do not untilize many available tools n opportunities out their and it may not be their fault because there are other issues involved. Sometimes some choices n steps in life lead to bigger n better things and sometimes people can’t blame all their problems on rascism. People have to take some accountability for their life. My African American grandmother raised 8 children alone after my grandfather died at a young age in Mobile AL and Bless her soul for all her children got out of poverty. They were poor but they didn’t have a poor quality of life and didnt wait on the government to help them get out of poverty. This whole country has a growing gap between the poor and rich. The middle class struggles and seems like everyone’s purposes is to serve the rich especially states that are tourists n retirement states like FLorida.I’ve got ancestors from Mobile both white n black so I’m gonna come back as much time as I want regardless. It’s my right and in my blood. People look at me like I don’t belong cuz I’m mixed n look out of place but this lady ain’t goin anywhere. I’m proud of my heritage.I’m sure someone reaped the benefits of my ancestors bonded into slavery and their family is living in an antebellum home off government street. Enuf said. Mobile could do better, the crimes could be fewer, more black people should improve their lot. The EDUCATION system is a place that can make or break young people. Fl had some good technical high schools where kids learn a skill and get a job right out of hiighschool. Enuf said. I’m sure I will get some negative comments.also there are some black people in Mobile that are working to try to improve the black community. They also could have gotten a black mayor if they didn’t have 2 black candidates running at the same time and Mayor Stimpson.Politics is where the REAL Power is.
