Go Dolphins!!

Well it's that time of year again, the season of hotdogs, hamburgers, and totally wrong (but sometimes right) referees. High school football is back everyone and Gulf Shores is by no means slacking this year. We've already kicked off the year to a great start considering last Friday we beat Robertsdale Bears at our first game, wasn't even a home game! I sure hope ya'll plan on going because there's no better way to get a taste of southern pride and hospitality than going to a high school football game. And if you go, don't be shy, make sure you're sporting Gulf Shores Dolphins' navy and white! Here's a link for a schedule for the games, if you're going to a home game, go down 59 and make a left on county road six. After that you'll drive and little ways and you'll definitely be able to see the stadium on the right. All games start at seven! And if you want to support the Dolphins at an away game, call the school for directions! They'll be happy to help someone who wants to show their spirit!

Orange Beach is 25!!

August 29th is the day you will want to be in Orange Beach. Whether you're just down here for a visit, lived here before, or you're a life-long resident, you are invited to help Orange Beach celebrate it's 25th birthday. In conjunction with Baldwin County's bicentennial celebration, Orange Beach will be throwing a block party from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The block party will be held just behind City Hall at the Orange Beach Municipal Complex. There will be many different festivities to participate in, including a large kids' village, live entertainment, a historical village, and county representatives will even be putting on their own historical demonstrations. Also scheduled is a recognition ceremony at 1 p.m. where the city will reconize past mayors, council members, long-time residents, and businesses that have hung around since 1984. So I hope you will come down August 29th and see what our city is all about!

Nolan's

For those of you who have been staying with Brett/ Robinson and coming down here to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores for years now, ya'll probably know about that restaurant that shut down a couple years ago that was called Nolan's. I never was able to eat there, just because when it was open, I wasn't even living down here, but I've heard from family members and a couple of friends that when it was open, it was great! Well guess what, someone came, renovated it, and it's back in business! I've had a chance to eat there once, and I gotta say, it's pretty fancy and the food is spectacular. If you're looking for some great, top of the line seafood...or even some steak I would recommend Nolan's. The environment is candle-lit and quiet til about eight pm when the bands start to play. It's in the little strip where the Zoo is, and it's right by Doc's off of hwy 59. Also, if you're feeling active after dinner, there's a mini golf course within walking distance that is a blast. So I hope you check it out and let me know what you think!
