I am looking for any advice or areas I would be able to take my road bike out for longer training sessions (30-50miles). Currently I have just been training on a stationary trainer but that is only so good.

I am mainly looking for long blocks of country roads with low traffic or a greenway that has a decent loop. I am in Grand Bay but wouldn’t mind traveling 30-40 min for a good route/area.

Any advice is appreciated

Any recs for good fall festivals or activities within 1.5 hours of Mobile? I'm looking for something like a pumpkin patch, corn maze, maybe a haunted hay ride. Ideally not some place aimed mostly for small children, but where I, a 36 yo woman, can have some nostalgic fun alone.

My cell service went out Friday night and has yet to be restored. I use Visible which uses the Verizon network and I cannot get Visible to even acknowledge that there is a problem. I live off DIP and there is no signal at all here but it worked yesterday off of Airport Blvd. Is anybody else having issues with there Verizon or Visible phones?

I've been thinking about enrolling my 4yo in some sort of martial arts program, so I've been looking at local places. Max3 seems to be a popular place for West Mobile, but I've heard they put a lot of focus on belts and competitions (no idea if it's true or not!). I don't care so much about competitions and levels - more about learning skills and self-control.

Would Max3 be a good fit? What about other West Mobile martial arts training places? What's a good place to start?

Hi everyone, first storm since moving to Mobile. I’ve got 20+ bags of yard debris/waste & my normal collection isn’t until the 21st. Does the city do extra collection after storms? Or is there a place I can haul it? Or do I just wait? Appreciate the help & hope everyone is well!

update: it’s a cold/strep

I live in Fairhope, Alabama, and with the hurricane approaching, I’m considering heading north. Do you think evacuation will be necessary, or am I just overreacting?
According to the latest reports, the hurricane has intensified over the past few hours.

I've lived in Mobile my whole life (born just before Frederic). This morning I had to drive across the Bay to pick up my daughter from her new nursing job. On the way back we passed at least a dozen dead birds (mostly seagulls from what I could tell). It was too dark on the way over to see if there were any on the east bound side. I've never seen, or even heard of this, before. Anybody got any ideas?

hey ! I just recently got into collecting all physical media and I was wanting to vhs/ dvd players , cassette players, crt tvs etc. just cool things but I’m having a hard time finding them in person for cheap , I was just wondering if anyone know where I could find things of the sort for cheap , I’ve tried fb marketplace but resellers are being lowkey crazy with the prices , anyways thank you !

I had a great time attending yesterday. My wallet hates me though. lol

I took a few pictures and a couple of people asked where they could see them. I told them about this subreddit since I don't have my own site. I figured it would be more accessible.

If any of these are of you I hope you like them.

I have a stone that I love that is set in a silver-coated copper band. I'm looking for someone who can put the stone on a new band. To me, this is unfamiliar territory, so I'm reaching out here to find someone who doesn't just resell the jewelry, but can actually make/repair it too. Thanks in advance!
