FIrst of all if you get a chance to buy or read this months issue of Mobile Bay Monthly I would recommend it. It is an Old and New Issue I guess for the New Year. It has an article with a list of the Top 10 Architectural Losses in Mobile over the years. Also an article on restaurants that have been around Mobile for a long time and have become local icons. Also a big article with lots of good picture called Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow that shows similar views/buildings at different points in time. The whole issue was pretty cool.
The other thing is my wife and I went to The Bull restaurant (downtown on Dauphin) the night of the Colbi Callait concert at the Saenger and the food was great. It is upscale Latin/Spanish Food. It was a nice change of pace from the usual offerings at many of the local places. She had a pinwheel of pork that came with some amazing potatoes and I had duck in a mole sauce. Wine was good dessert was tres leches and was pretty good. I would recommend it. We also were able to buy a gift certificate from www.restaurant.com where they sell restaurant gift certificates at discounted prices. There are 10-15 local places on the site that do similar deals. We bought certificates to Cafe Royal, The Bull, Cafe 615 and Blu Bistro over Christmas when they were running a deal where 25$ certificate cost 4$. Normally I think you get a 25$ certificate for 10$, which is still a good deal.
