re: Living in L.A. "Lower Alabama"

GS and OB are still pretty dead in the winter months. An organization I’m involved with has their winter meeting down there every year for some reason. Usually the first week of December, and there are nights it’s a struggle to find a restaurant open.

Pretty sure the fastest growing county in Alabama is Limestone county in North Alabama.

First, the bad thing... the fact that the Mobile tunnel still is the way it is, is a level of incompetence that only the Louisiana DOTD can be proud of.
Yeah, ALDOT isn’t great, or at least the politicians/bureaucrats running it aren’t great. There are a lot of important, heavily traveled roads in this state that do not receive the maintenance and care that they should receive.

This might have been true 8 or 9 years ago. Now most of the restaurants don’t shut down in the winter. The population has increased enough that all businesses are sustainable through winter with no issues.

This is true. OB/GS has tons on snowbirds there during the winter.

The rates those cocksuckers get is stealing. Can stay at a 2 bed 2 bath condo on the beach for $1200 for a month and still bitch about every frickin thing. I hate snowbirds.

Louisiana politicians treat any and all road projects as a personal discretionary income.

Lol. The restaurant staff don’t like snowbirds either. They leave little or no tip …. and take all the artificial sweeteners from the tables. I agree… they do get steals on beachfront condo rates …and they do bitch about everything.

Not really stealing if they’re paying the rate the owners are asking. If they want more then they can list their places for more.

I worked in Mobile just after Hurr Frederic, and left there in 86. There were never any traffic issues with the tunnels, GS had 1 Phoenix condo, and the developers were fighting with the county on whether they could scoop out the dune lines for more new condos. Orange Beach had just incorporated. The condo-commandos were just starting to move in, and Baldwin County was the largest county east of the Mississippi. I look at GS/OB now and wonder what happened. It just exploded! Very laid back lifestyle. It was a great time to be there.

If I were to ever leave Texas, Gulf Shores/Orange Beach is where I'd move. Beautiful beaches and my kind of people.

Moved to Daphne 2 years ago. Love it. Hwy 98 is a deathrap, though. I avoid it like the plague. But, kids are within walking distance of elementary, middle and high schools and there's a great YMCA nearby. Nice parks, good hidden fishing holes everywhere. Semi-rural, but also near most everything.
Cops all over the place, too, writing speeding tickets left and right. Love it. Just wish we'd drop a clusterbomb on the bay bridge and keep Mobile out.

Pretty soon it will be unbearable to live in BC. 98 is almost as bad as airport in Mobile now. The carpetbagger hordes really came down in droves after the oil spill.

Met a young lady at a wedding about a year ago. Lived in Salt Lake City. She sold her house and said that they banked a ton of money and wanted to move to the south because real estate was so cheap.
I told her to visit in August and then make her decision.

What about Dauphin Island? I don’t see it mentioned as much

Lived almost 3 years in U C L A formerly known as Ft. Rucker. If you are going to head that way just go a little further and live in the Panhandle. We were in FL just about every weekend anyway.

All of this and Gulf State Park is just down the road. It's the crown jewel of the Alabama state park system.

Extremely local. They don't really care for tourist on the island. Island is shifting, as Mother Nature does, so some homes are over the Gulf of Mexico when 20 years ago they had yards of beach before the shore line.
