🌞 News!
Thunderstruck Truck: Unpredictable weather on the Gulf Coast leads to a surprising encounter as a truck gets struck by lightning on the Dolly Parton Bridge. Me no likey lightning.

Recycling Revolution: Daphne is getting curbside recycling, and Mobile is watching with interest. As we recognize the convenience and environmental benefits that curbside recycling could also bring to our city, should we follow suit? Thoughts? Read the article and then reply and let us know…
Quality Check: Alabama’s tap water hit bottom in J.D. Power’s recent rankings. Should we be concerned, or is this just a lot of fuss over nothing?

We're aiming to eat at 26 new restaurants during the year of 2023 (the project is sponsored by 1031Meals - use code EATMOBILE10 to get 10% off your order of $30 or more!)
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's
B = Big Bad Breakfast
C = Catalina Restaurant
D = Debris
E = El Milagro y Taqueria y Pupuseria
F = Front Yard Tacos
G = Grace on Dauphin
H = Hammered Cow
I = Iron Hand Brewing
J = Jerusalem Cafe
K = Koma Bistro
Nope, it was once a fireman pole.
You can follow along with the journey here. (more pics!)
We need your help!
Where should we go?!?
We're looking forward to eating our way through Mobile!
