Mobile’s Growth Spurt: Should we roll out the welcome wagon for new neighbors? Find out what annexation could do for our beloved city and why this recent proposal has caused a stir. 

Scholarship Star: This young person’s incredible achievement might inspire your kid to lay off those video games. It’s no secret that hard work can pay off in a big way — like $2 million big.

🍕 2023 Eating Project...

We're aiming to eat at 26 new restaurants during the year of 2023.

But there's a catch --- it has to be restaurants we've never visited, and we're going from letters A-Z (hopefully in order).

A = Azteca'sB = Big Bad BreakfastC = Catalina RestaurantD = Debris E = El Milagro y Taqueria y PupuseriaF = Front Yard TacosG = Grace on DauphinH = Hammered Cow

You can follow along with the journey here. (more pics!)

We need your help!Where should we go?!?

Please give us your suggestions on Facebook.

We're looking forward to eating our way through Mobile!

🪅Do Some Good

Quote from Mobile Baykeeper's Facebook page:

"Anna is an 11-year-old from Fairhope who loves to draw and paint. She has created some coastal art pieces, which she then turns into notepads. These have sold well among her family and friends, and at the Mobile Baymaker's Mart in Fairhope. A family friend has also agreed to sell them in her Fairhope store, Private Gallery. Anna has decided to donate ten percent of the proceeds from those sales to Mobile Baykeeper. It is important to her that the Bay stay clean for both recreation and the coastal animals that call the Bay home. Anna is a very talented artist, but she says that when she is grown, she will become a marine biologist. At present, she is finishing her fifth-grade year at Fairhope West Elementary and very much looking forward to the summer. Thank you so much Anna for your art and your commitment to clean water. You are an inspiration!"

We decided to have a bit of fun on a new separate Facebook page (as we think we were confusing some of our readers when we posted some playful stories).

Well, we finally figured out who's been behind all of those funny ALDOT messages!

Please kindly ask folks not to litter... 😇

If you pick up litter while walking around your neighborhood, reply to this email with a picture, and we'll spotlight you!

See ya next week!Be Good & Stay Safe.
