Fairhope is a cozy 12 square mile hamlet in Baldwin County, Alabama on the eastern shoreline of…read moreMobile Bay with a population of 22,477 and is rated as one of the best places to live in Alabama. It was also cited as one of the top retirement destinations by "Where to Retire,'' magazine. Fairhope is known for its lovely parks, festivals, and its panoramic views of the Bay, shops, boutiques, cafes, art galleries, gift shops, and seafood restaurants. One of those seafood restaurants is my favorite "Sunset Pointe" but my overall favorite is Gambino's, with excellent Italian fare, while Panini Pete's and there's certainly a lot of great locally owned and operated food choices and it's also home to the popular Fairhope Brewing Company. They have lots of indoor and outdoor events with an art gallery, film festival, golf course, Bald Eagle Bash, Yacht Club and much more. This weekend (3/18/22) they're about to celebrate the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival, and the Fairhope Beach and Park is popular for swimming, its views, and relaxing on picturesque Mobile Bay. I would be remiss if I didn't mention The Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa, situated on the Bay on 550 acres that's a hidden jewel, rich with tradition for 170 years, it's quite special indeed. Bottom line: Fairhope is quaint and charming with a feeling of living in a small town. https://www.fairhopeal.gov/

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

Originally, Tolstoy Park was 10 acres in the woods, and secluded. Henry Stuart, The Hermit Poet, moved to Fairhope, Alabama from Idaho because he was diagnosed with consumption (tuberculosis) when he was 65 during the 1920's. The doctor recommended he move to a warmer climate for his health, and Henry Stuart bought ten acres, sight unseen. Mr Stuart ended up living another 22 years before he moved back to Oregon at the age of 88 and passed away. His home is unique, it is round, hurricane proof, and particularly dug into the ground to help regulate temperature. Th Tolstoy House is on The National Register of Historic Places.
