The Port City has a whole lot to offer to the Gulf Coast. People come from near and far to experience our unique culture from our soulful southern dishes, bountiful and vibrant azaleas, syrupy accents, a vibe as laid back as a mossy covered oak’s branches, foot tapping music, and that’s just the beginning! But you haven’t experienced Mobile until you’ve experienced our hospitality. We have The South’s best-kept secret – our southern gentlemen and belles galore. With that said, here are five Mobilians you definitely need to know.
