05/27/2026 Dear Kim Chatwood,…read moreI am writing to thank you for all your help transferring my old plate to my new vehicle earlier today. I truly appreciate the time you took to assist me with my request. You went above and beyond finding all the info I needed to complete my process. You saved me so much time from leaving the line, going home and trying to find paperwork from the insurance co. that is required from the state to change over plates. Your support made the process much easier and I am grateful for your professionalism and kindness shown to me. If employees had the empathy and knowledge you possess for customers, the license bureau would not be compared to a root canal. You treat people with respect and a great willingness to help us. A wonderful representative employee for the license bureau at 1100 Fairhope Ave. 36532

Also do not forget they charge extra for you to use your credit/debit card .

I've stopped by frequently and my favorites things are are meals at Desmond's, a quick shopping trip at the outlet (let's not forget the photo op on the carousel) and a bite at P.S. Taco, and an OWA (town square or the park itself) date. I truly enjoy Foley's small town feel (because truly, it is small) with so many good spots and stops along the way. I always make a day trip of it when I visit. Cheers to Foley!

I first discovered this little hamlet 30+ years ago when vacationing here and sailed out of one of…read morethe back waterways into Wolf Bay. It was on that sail that I discovered Pirates Cove, home of the cheeseburger in paradise so that's one thing that's kept me coming back :-) Since retiring in the area I've discovered a lot more than the beautiful scenery and burgers but first a little history. The Town of Elberta is a small, historically agricultural community, situated 25 minutes from the Alabama Gulf Coast, 35 minutes from historic downtown Pensacola, FL and 45 minutes from Mobile. The first settlers arrived here in 1904 and the community was founded by farmers who had immigrate from Germany. I wasn't sure about the phrase on their welcome sign "für das gut leben" so I asked my dear Düsseldorf friend, Klaus-Dieter who tells me the best interpretation is "For the good life". In the 1930s through the 1940s, the town boasted a farmer's hall where dancing and singing were enjoyed, a hotel, and a movie theatre, as well as a butcher shop, grocery and drug store. Many of the residents spoke German, and St. Mark's Lutheran Church offered German-language services until 1976. Current the latest census shows fewer than 1500 residents and I've come to realize that it's a warm and friendly place that's all about community. One great example is the support the town's volunteer fire department gets with the Elberta German Sausage Festival which was started in the mid-1970s. I attend every one of them that's held the last weekend of March and the last weekend of October and features polka music, Elberta German sausage Sausage, and 250 arts and crafts vendors with over 40,000 visitors during the fall festival alone. It's a good time for a great cause. There's only a couple stop lights but there's a lot more stuff here than the size might indicate. Aside from the aforementioned Pirates Cove, there's Bamahenge, Baldwin County Heritage Museum, Lady in the Lake, a golf course, as well as locally owned and operated shops and restaurants like the Roadkill Cafe. It's also where we go to our meetings and events at Amvets. Bottom line: You can spend your days picking fresh berries at Hillcrest Farm or sampling the homemade cheese at Sweet Home Farm but don't forget Bamahenge and those cheeseburgers, it's paradise indeed.
