Mardi Gras has been in Mobile since 1703 - wow! Today, Mobile's family-friendly Mardi Gras consists of 40 unique parades, numerous balls, and tons of flying moon pies, beads, and trinkets! Elaborate themed floats manned by masked mystic societies, mounted police and marching bands wind through downtown Mobile and surrounding areas, entertaining nearly a million revelers each year. At the balls men wear white tie and tails and women wear full length evening gowns. It was really fun to get "dressed to the nines" for the ball we attended! Various clubs and bars offer their own particular events. Hank Aaron, my favorite baseball player, was born in Mobile and is honored by the Mobile "Hand Aaron Stadium." The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park is just outside of Mobile and has a memorial section honoring the men and women who fought in all of our modern wars. Bellingrath Gardens and Home located about 30 minutes from Mobile proper is definitely worth a visit, especially during azalea season.

This isn't the worst I had multiple seizures due to being epileptic then I wake up in jail charged with obstruction of justice. I'm currently on probation for this charge and I have complied. My first day of reporting city probation had to call the ambulance to come and transport me to the hospital for seizures. All I remember is being picked up by the ambulance I don't remember having my rights read to me or anything. After a seizure you go through a postictal state of recovery whereas your mind comes back from confusion and aggression due to the medical condition. I will definitely be seeking civil action as soon as this probation is completed. Any injury lawyers out there want to take on a case that'll be a definite settlement out of court contact me. I have years of medical records. It's got me suffering from major anxiety now and I have multiple medical records for this as well. I'm seeing a physiatrist every 90 days and I've been prescribed multiple antidepressants for anxiety. This department of public safety has completely ruined my life. I only gave one star to post the review I wish I could have given zero stars.

Some people can say what they want to about Kim Hastie and in my opinion those "charges" against…read moreher here a year or so ago were for the most part fabricated trumped-up bullsh*t (or what we residents of Mobile Co. call typical "Old Mobile" dirty politics!). However I have to give Ms. Hastie full credit for turning the Mobile County License Commissioner's locations around and making them a LOT more efficient than what they used to be, especially the one in Theodore. Oh and just for the record: I am in no way related to Ms. Hastie nor do I know her nor her relatives. Before Ms. Hastie took over in years past you would walk in and expect a 45 minute to 1 1/2 hour wait just to get your car tags. Adding to the misery of having to sit/stand in a room with what seemed like over 100+/- people there waiting for their number to be called there would be 10 to 12 (I think) service windows there but only about 3 of them were open. On top of that you'd see a lot of the workers in the back sitting on their tails either jacking their jaws on the phone, filing their nails, yak-yakking with each other or even some sitting there with a look on their face like they were lost in outer space! Well, that was then this is now! I recently went there to have 3 car tags renewed; when I walked in only 2 windows were closed and the rest had friendly nice ladies there eagerly waiting to help. From the time I arrived, walked inside, got my number, had my number called, paid for my tags received new tags and left the building a little over 8 minutes had lapsed! WOW!!! Again, thank you Ms. Hastie for turning that train-wreck of a place around. When others could've took the lead and fixed this place instead of standing there cross-eyed gawking with their thumbs up their butts Ms. Hastie stepped up to the plate and fixed it! Now when I have to get my tags renewed I thankfully don't have to wait forever anymore. :)

I had no idea that Mobile Alabama was the original home of Mardi Gras in the United States. I'm in…read moremy forties and I had only ever heard of big Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans but apparently this is where it all started. This little park downtown celebrates that history in such a fun, colorful way. The statues are fantastic! They're detailed, dramatic and full of personality. They really capture the pageantry and tradition of Mardi gras. We happened to visit in December and I feel like that made it even more charming because they had a gorgeous Christmas tree up in the park in addition to all the beautiful statues. Everything felt super festive and we ended up spending almost an hour in the park. That probably sounds crazy because the park isn't even that big, but it's really well kept and perfect for stretching your legs and taking photos. We took our time walking around and our dog enjoyed the open green space. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon and I feel like I learned a lot. I definitely recommend stopping by here if you are in the area.

My major complaint is that the circulation department at West Regional is extremely slow. In particular the library purchases movies for rental. The circulation/preparation department then sits on them for six to eight weeks after release date before making them available to rent. Now on average new release movies cost from $15.00 to $35.00 each. In most cases they will purchase from 12-20 copies of the movie. At the rental rate of 75 cents for a one week rental or the same amount for a three week rental of T.V. shows by the time they are available to rent the library never recoups the initial investment for each title. This is my major beef. The library uses taxpayer funds to make these purchases knowing full well they are going to lose money on each title. It used to not be this way. What can be done? Probably nothing. Who can fight governmental organizations and win!!!
