Blues bars and shopping centers
“People don’t have to go far for anything,” says Hudson, “there are shopping centers around the neighborhood, and all the downtown activity is a few miles away.” On any given day, neighbors walk to the heart of the neighborhood along Halls Mill Road to get small items at convenience stores and to visit their favorite local hangouts. Folks spend their nights listening to soulful live toons at Blues Tavern or celebrating a special occasion while dining on German fare in Osman’s cozy dining room. On weekend mornings, folks walk over to Big Charlie’s produce for fresh fruits and veggies. Most folks get their general groceries at Piggly Wiggly, on the neighborhood’s south end. For more shopping, people drive just over a mile to McGowin Park off Interstate 65. There’s a variety of stores here, like Costco, Best Buy, Hobby Lobby and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Folks also come here for a fun night at Topgolf. On top of having all of these spots nearby, an afternoon of drinking and dining in downtown Mobile is just 5 miles away.

Waterfront parks and sports fields
Folks are a short walk or drive from various outdoor spaces around the neighborhood. Kids play rec league games on the baseball and football fields at Maitre Park, on the neighborhood’s north end. Kids also go to Fry Park to climb on the playground, and people come here to shoot hoops or play fetch with their pups. On a sweltering summer day, folks cool off in the shady wooded spaces at San Souci Park, or drive a few miles south to Dog River Park to hike along the river or launch their boat for a fun day on the water.
