    Yeesh! I don't even know where to begin with the Mobile Civic Center!…read more It's here, standing (for now) and offering a public service -- I guess. I'm torn between the assessment of 2 and 3 stars. (3 being an average, but still positive, rating -- I don't think I can because my cons certainly outweigh the positives) There, it's settled. The hubs and I visited the Civic Center for the first time to attend a Mardi Gras ball. The place is HUGE, but extremely (severely and sorely) outdated. (Pretty sure that's why the city is soon tearing it down!) The restrooms were flooded halfway through the night, the restroom doors were hit or miss on locks, and don't even get me started on the shoddy AC-- you're cool in one room, literally burning up in the next. I did love looking down on the ball's main dance floor from the 2nd floor seating. Oh, and there was plenty parking -- am I reaching now?! Sorry. Did it serve its purpose? Yes! Would I be missing out if I never went back? No, not at all! Overall, it's a shell of an old building (that once was, maybe) that's workable for a few hours (before the flooding), and that's about all I've got on the Mobile Civic Center. I will say that the Mystics of Time is a great job of fixing it up and decorating the venue for their ball!

    Went to Allison Kraus. Parked at Civic Center. At concerts end, we all spent 20-30 minutes getting…read moreout of the lot. All the attendants were gone, and no traffic control Officers at all. Only one lane was open for exit, so it really worked out well for us who payed to park. Typical Mobile stupidity. Folks from all over the Gulf Coast got to see how well this city can screw up a simple event.
