Here are the upcomng events from the News From Downtown Mobile Alliance:
Some upcoming entertainment:
Although many exhibits across the country are noting a drop in attendance, the state-of-the-art health exhibit, My BodyWorks, has proven to be an overwhelming success. In the opening weekend, more than 4,000 people visited the exhibit, presented by Mobile Infirmary Health Systems and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.
The impressive turn out can be attributed to a new "stimulus package," making the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center more affordable than ever. In light of the current economic state, the Exploreum has significantly lowered ticket prices. You will find a savings of more than $10 per ticket. For example, in 2008 an adult combo ticket was $25. Now, for only $14, you can get a combo ticket which includes admission into the Exploreum as well as an IMAX film.
Don't forget to sign up for your membership package to the Exploreum! With more savings than ever, a membership includes free admission to the entire Exploreum, discounts on IMAX tickets, and 20% off of birthday parties, gift shop purchases, camp registrations and café items.

I have been given permission to publish news from the Downtown Mobile Alliance on my blog, so here is some current Mobile Updates:
At recent economic and real estate summits, we've been reminded that there are winners and losers in every economic crisis. Mobile in general and Downtown in particular seem poised to come out of the current recession in better shape than much of the rest of the country. Our overall economy is fairly diversified, with a healthy mix of manufacturing, health care and knowledge-based industries.
As for Downtown, Richard Florida, the economist who coined the term "creative class," has written recently that urban centers will fair better than the suburbs as the economy shifts. The cost and aggravation of commutes will encourage many to move closer to city centers, which has the additional benefit of fostering more innovation since living a little closer together encourages the exchange of ideas.
So will we be a winner or a loser in this "reset" of our economy? Much depends on how livable our Downtown is. Do we offer the amenities people are seeking, is there a variety of housing options and is it a place of constant delight? These are the issues the Alliance works on daily, because, in the words of the great urbanist Jane Jacobs, "When a place gets boring, even the rich people leave." With our "colorful" personalities and events (see the photo of the Cathedral Square fountain on St. Patrick's Day), it is a fate we stand a good chance of avoiding!
The Gardner Law Firm soon will be moving into the former Hargrove and Associates offices at Washington and Canal Streets. The firm is currently on Government Street in the Oakleigh Garden District, in superbly renovated space that was once a motel. It's very encouraging that such a significant corner was not vacant for long, and we look forward to another beautiful renovation.
In other development news:
The former Fashion World on Dauphin Street is in the process of being converted into space for a new silk-screening business. Unity Print Collective will be a screen printing operation and gallery for local artists to showcase their talent.
Saturday The Luck of the Irish Cook-Off was held in Bienville Square to benefit The Exchange Club's Family Center. The Best Irish Stew's 1st Place prize went to The Conde Cavaliers, The Best Corn Beef and Cabbage's 1st Place prize went to Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, The Best Dressed Irish Chef's 1st Place prize went to Mobile Mystics and The Best Irish Theme's 1st Place prize went to SSI Group.
At 2:00 the parade rolled through the streets of Downtown. Oh how Mobilians love a parade!
In the Oakleigh District of Downtown Mobile Callahan's was having their annual St. Patty's Day block party.
At the fairgrounds the 8th Annual BBQ Championship & Hog Will Festival was held.
Sunday from 2:00-5:00 55 waterfront homes in the area on Dog River, Fowl River and Mobile Bay held open house to the public.
Whether is in the streets, at the fairgrounds or in our homes there's always a lot of good family fun available in our city!

I have the e-PRO certification and the CRB (Certified Residential Broker) from the National Association of Realtors. I opened Port City Realty in 2001. Port City Realty now has over 20 agents and has been the #1 real estate office in South Mobile County since 2004. I am married and have three children and three grandchildren. I have lived most of my life in Mobile. I also lived briefly in Michigan and Memphis, TN and lived several years in the Metro Atlanta area. I currently lives on the water in Cypress Shores, in South Mobile County.
I sell properties from Orange Beach, AL to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, but have three main areas of specialization.
1. Home on and near the water
I live on the water and opened Port City Realty, first on Higgins Road and then moved to Rangeline Road, in the Dog River/Rabbit Creek area of Mobile in 2001. We occassionally caravan by boat so everyone can be aware of where the company's listings are on the water and therefore better able to serve our customers and clients. I keep a complete list of waterfront properties in Mobile on my website at www.PortCityRealty.com.
2. Investment Properties
I have worked with investors for years, have been a listing agent on foreclosure properties for the past 6 years. I am an approved HUD broker. I keep a complete list of current foreclosure properties on www.PortCityRealty.com.
3. Condos
I am a member of the Mobile Historic Society Leadership Class of 2007 and enjoy selling condos in Mobile's downtown and midtown historic districts. My condo website is www.PortCityCondos.com.
