re: Update on Alabama / Florida beaches?

This is so stupid that they aren’t going by current numbers and not taking into account the number recovered along with the number dead are no longer active cases

Alabama officials used their brains. Everything is fine there

Some good news coming out today. Bans lifted in multiple pan handle counties. New Yorkers are still SOL but looks like all southern states are fine.

Southern states are not fine. FL 20-86 still bans Louisiana residents.

Is there a link where LA is still banned in the northern part of the state? I can’t find anywhere where pensacola or destin is still banning rentals to LA residents.

All stories from today have it. It’s not in the headlines. It’s usually kind of buried in the article

Not exactly fine in Alabama. It’s the most crowded I’ve ever seen down here which I have no problem with because we are making money. We are still regulated to 50% occupancy and social distancing. So don’t expect to go out to dinner between 5-8 and not wait 2-3 hours for a table. I’ve streamlined my Togo ordering system so you can get hot food in 20 mins while someone else waits there for 2 hours just
to sit at a table.

Edited to add my trash hasn’t been picked up in a week and the Condo cleaners are way behind schedule and overwhelmed as are the grocery stores. Bring your own groceries and cleaning supplies.

Last weekend was the most crowded I’ve ever seen Orange Beach in May. The crowds are insane and I don’t see it easing up until August. It looked like 4th of July weekend.

I believe all stories about everything being overwhelmed.

Craziest part is people are here from every State and every State has different laws, rules and regulations. People are so freaking confused. Most are acting like vacation is a fairy land and no rules exist. The people next to them have gloves and mask. It’s so bizarre.

I do purchasing for 4 companies. It’s been a nightmare with things in short supply or getting scooped up as soon as it’s released. I’m talking all the way up the food chain. My suppliers supply Rouses. Best advice for anyone is to pack everything you need and enjoy the beach. Especially paper and cleaning supplies. Buy booze in Louisiana as it’s much cheaper. If you need necessities shop local stores. If you want to eat out, call and ask what’s the best time. Earlier in the afternoon the better.

Thanks for the info.

Hoping its still the case on saturday!!
