I have only been there twice, both times when driving to and from Florida. I stayed at a hotel on Government Street, both times on Monday Nights in June 2011.

I just remember everything feeling dead and lifeless, I didn't really see any people around, it seemed like a ghost town. Which was strange because the downtown area was a decent size, and being a waterfront city, it should have been a bit more alive.

Was it just because I was there on a Monday or does Mobile just suck?

All of the "fun" things happen across the bay over in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.

Geographically well positioned. Neat little downtown. The city has lots of potential. Mobile is like The gamecocks football program circa 90s.

It ain't too bad. I stay downtown all the time for work and can usually find something to entertain myself. But I drink like a feathered Indian and like to talk to strangers.
