Wet Willie keeps us all smilin' after all these years, and it never gets old. As expected, the legendary band (and longtime local favorites) thrilled the crowd at Live at Five Concert Series- Fairhope.



The older I get, the more I want to revisit the fun experiences of my youth. I want to feel those feelings again: carefree, fearless, curious, and anticipatory. On a recent Friday night at the Live at Five Concert Series in Fairhope, I went down a musical memory lane, back to the 1970s, when the ban...

Chef Jeremy Penton is carving out a creative culinary presence in downtown Mobile. Writer Chris Andrews takes us inside Penton’s Bistro & the King Bleu Corner Bar, which is across from the Saenger Theatre and close to Cathedral Square.



On a picture-perfect Thursday afternoon in early September, Zeb Hargett and I decided to treat ourselves to lunch in downtown Mobile. The air had that feeling that fall was around the corner, and the downtown streets were alive with people strolling, chatting, and enjoying the day.

Some may think of Foley as a place to pass through on the way to the beach. Many others are slowing down to discover the fast-growing city's unique personality and charm.



Having grown up along the Gulf Coast, I have early impressions of the communities that make up the Scenic 98 Coastal area. Mobile was home, but fishing trips with my family out of Dauphin Island were a weekly occurrence in warm weather. We logged many days at my cousins’ summer home on the Little ...

Believe it or not, a coin flip helped put Mike and Kelley Lyons together and led to the creation of Lyons Share Custom Frames & Gallery. The art community on the Easter Shore is surely better off because of how things landed. Our Zeb has the inside story.



In 1965, Kelley Wolff’s grandmother, Betty Joe Wolff, opened Page & Palette, the renowned fourth-generation bookstore in Fairhope. She opened a second store location in Perdido Key’s Coquina Village shopping center in 1985, and Kelley worked at this store. Her identical twin, Karin, took a break...

Under the bridge in Perdido Key, Salty Pearl Raw Bar is a lively and delightful gem that's waiting to be discovered. Many already have, including our new contributor Lucille.



When you live in Pensacola, you don’t have to go far to feel like you’re on vacation; here, the best adventures are right in your own backyard. Throughout the year, my family and I often slip away to one of my favorite little spots, Perdido Key. Like a pearl, it was once a hidden gem waiting to ...

Step inside the Mobile Museum of Art, and you'll immediately find it to be inviting and vibrant. One of the big reasons is its executive director, Jon Carfagno, who gained a wealth of expertise on his way to the Gulf Coast.

On a recent visit to Mobile’s Museum of Art, as I entered from the picturesque lobby overlooking Municipal Park, I was taken aback by the immersive experience of the two main exhibits on display. The hallway leading into the main gallery begins the journey. Cryptic Underwing is a glass and mixed-m...

Haunted history and tasty cuisine are proving to be an tantalizing combination in the city of Mobile. The guided Bienville Bites Food Tour is a unique experience that can open your eyes as well while expanding your palate.



When Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville first landed on Dauphin Island in 1699, he came face to face with a sight that would unsettle even the bravest explorer. Scattered across the beach were piles of human skeletons and bleached bones resting in the sand, as if left behind by some gruesome event. Belie...

Jerry Pate is best known as a golfer, of course, but he has many other irons in the fire. His incredible life started out in Georgia and Alabama, and it's playing out beautifully across the line in Florida.

With the Ryder Cup Golf Competition this weekend, it seemed like a good time to check in on one of the PGA Tour’s preeminent golf legends, Jerry Pate. As he is always on the go, we managed to meet at his office at Jerry Pate Turf & Irrigation in Pensacola. We reminisced about life, his company, hi...
