I’ve lived in Mobile for much of my life, and I disagree. Most people here seem to understand this place has nothing for the most part.
Well there you go

I agree that they are pretty much carbon copies of themselves... I lived there for 4 years and know what you mean but, I get why they look down on everyone else in the state and I dont blame them.
And to those saying that Mobile is a better version of BR are way off. Id bet that the people saying it is either stayed there for college and never left the campus, lived in Spring Hill, or they will never say a possitive thing ab BR if their lives depended on it... they have a much better government than BR (Stimpson>>>>Broome) but other than that, it doesnt have anything on BR. Mobile is a wanna be New Orleans

I lived there for several years and Mobile is pretty forgettable. The eastern shore is nice but also not very memorable. And during the summers it gets pretty miserable. I need to go back down and visit though.

Old shitty battleship- check

I agree with your list except number 1. Anything that can launch a 2200 pound explosive 20 miles is not shitty. Especially for its time. Its like saying a one of Columbus ships had crappy accommodations.

Mobile is ok in spots.....If you live west of I-65 you must have a jacked up baw truck with those bowed out tires. If you live east of 65 you will be robbed weekly.

I've never lived in Mobile. I only started the thread because I was in a social setting with someone from Mobile the other night that I'd never met. It'd been a while since I'd hung out with anyone from Mobile, and this dude reminded me that I really have never met anyone from Mobile that I was particularly fond of.
Saraland, Satsuma, eastern shore, GS, OB - I've met plenty of people from around Mobile that I would consider cool people, and that I am still friends with...but no one from Mobile Mobile.
A guy from rural central Alabama doesn't mix well with people from a middle class and upper middle class southern port city.
Shocked, I tell you.

I mix just fine with middle and upper class people from other southern port cities
and I have always been cordial with Mobile people, I can get along with just about anyone. It is more of an observation.

I'm speaking in generalities. This exists pretty much across the deep south.
Central/North LA & New Orleans
Central/North MS & MS Coast
Central/North AL & Mobile
Atlanta Metro & Savannah
Upstate SC & Charleston
For the most part, these are two different "cultures" originating back from their establishments in the 1700's.

Mobile and it's natives are just different from the rest of Alabama
Even my friends from there are a little shady in a different way
Port cities are just like that
Mobilians remind me more of NOLA folks than Alabama baws

I understand that. I am saying that Mobile people are different than even those aforementioned port cities.

Decent bit of old money in Mobile. Not on the NOLA level, but it exists.

Yep, a lot of Baton Rouge transplants on the eastern shore since 2005.
Are you referring to after Katrina? Didn't realize a lot of people left Baton Rouge after Katrina.

I'm sure there is, as there is just about wherever you go, but as far as upper "class," you'd probably have to hire the FBI to find much of that around there

Mobile has an inner circle of social elites that are accepted in the mystic carnival world and they’re not real welcoming to comeyunders.
Lots of kids I’ve met from that circle have that arrogance about themselves. When they get outside of their comfort zone though, they generally freak because really, no one gives a shite about Mobile’s pretend social importance.
