For an PoBoy, go to Wentzels downtown.

Bellengrath Gardens is a nice way to spend an afternoon.

If you have a chance, got down to Dauphin Island (if there is anything left of it) and see the old Fort and the Marine Sanctuary.

Have fun.

Another vote for Wentzels. I heard they changed owners though and aren't quite the same.

They now have a Wentzels in Fairhope. I ate there in the spring. It was still good.

Div - Mobile's Mardi Gras is fun. An engineering org I'm in does a winter meeting there every year during Mardi Gras. Great fun. I got my flier in the mail Monday to sign up for it. I'm there.

Mobile is the best place for Mardi Gras on the Coast.

Although the parade in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach on Fat Tuesday is a really laid back event.

A few years back our office went to the Mobile and Pensacola Mardi Gras instead of a Christmas party. Pensacola doesn't have the history of Mobile and would let anyone have a float in the parade. Sammy's strip club had a float called the "Krewe of the Mammary's." You could hear that float barking before it got to you.

I think it'd be fun to go to a bit of a racy type of Halloween party. Kinda hard to do when you have trick or treat aged kids.

Doing well, SS. Thanks for asking.

After the Po'Boy, I went to Dauphin Island, back across the bay on the ferry and over to Lulu's. It sure doesn't have the character the old place had.
