I'll ask my friends with Mitchell about Legacy Village..I'll report back soon.

I think Legacy village is probably the most likely place in Mobile for it to happpen. I would like to see one in a location like the one 5 Guys is going into at Old Shell and Mcgregor. Changs would probably like to see something on a bigger road with more traffic, but selfishly I would like one in that area because it could really jumpstart the conversion of Spring Hill into the village style thing they are going for if it was done right or went into the right building there.
I like the Zoo idea for somewhere near downtown/midtown. Montgomery and Bham both have pretty nice zoos that provide people with something to do while they are in town visting, plus locals and schools use it too. Bham's is tied into their botanical garden. It would be like if Mobile took a chunk of Langan Park near the botanical gardens and made it a zoo near SpringHill. It could be a real shot in the arm for the SpringHill Avenue/Ziegler Corridor that has started to fall off in recent years. It would also probably be beneficial to the Toulminville area along the creek if located there as mentioned earlier. I think the creek area, especially between USA Med Center and Children's and Women's/Cancer Center would be a cool place, but the surrounding neighborhood would have to be cleaned up a bit (no more shootings) before anyone will invest in that area. The "zoo" that we currently have in Wilmer/Semmes is a joke and I laugh everytimes someone calls that a zoo.
