Today we drove to Chickasabogue County Park in a little burg called Eight Mile north of Mobile, Alabama. It is nice park but there isn’t much to see in this neck of the woods. We arrived early so we went into Mobile to take a look around. Mobile is a particularly unattractive city with substandard buildings except in a small area right downtown. However, in the downtown area we hopped on a free shuttle bus that drives patrons around about the only attractive part of town and the buildings there are quite nice but many of them are vacant.
\n\tWe also went to ancient Fort Conde which was used as a fixed fortification by Spaniards, Frogs, British and the U.S. Part of it is renovated back to it’s former glory and it is great to wander around in the facility. Right down the street we also popped into the Mobile Museum which is a nice renovated building with some good exhibits but nothing to get excited about compared to other stuff we have seen.
\n\tI would have a hard time recommending Mobile as a destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
