Alabama thread!

Hey yall im originally from Fl but been stationed in cape cod mass. I have recently come upon a possible oportunity to be transfered to mobile al. I was just wonderin if any of yall from mobile could tell me some things like safety of west mobile area for my wife and things i should consider when deciding to move there or not. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Pretty much everyone in this thread is Birmingham and north. There is a Mobile Al thread floating around TW somewhere.

 

I live in West Mobile near Cottage Hill Road and Hillcrest Road. You will love housing pricing and property taxes here.

If you like to fish, hunt, shoot, and golf or go to the beach you will love it here. I didn't mention humidity since you are from Florida and know what I am talking about.

I would say that West Mobile is the safest area in Mobile just be sure you are a couple of miles or more West of I-65.

Are you civilian or military?

 

Mobile is fine as long as you stay West of 65 like holeshot said. If you do have to go east of 65 on a regular basis, its ok, it only takes about ten minutes to get your pistol permit. Have you considered the eastern shore? I moved to Daphne, AL about three years ago and couldn't be happier.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. Im in the beggining stages of lookin into it. Im coastguard so id be at the airport near west mobile. Def like to hunt and fish. If i dont end up down there in next few months im pretty sure i will eventually. Seems like people like mobile a lot that have been stationed there. Thanks Again I appreciate the help.

 

Have several Coastie friends who did a tour at ATC Mobile and came back here to retire.

Let me know when you get here and I will hook you up with my shooting range.

 

Heck yea thanks man really hope to come there.

 

Anyone ever ride out at Skyline WMA?

 

I use to back in the day. There use to be some fun trails back then but I've heard they keep it closed more now.

 

I keep seeing stuff on some of the jeep sites, about current rides. I have not been on the trails in that area in many years.

 

I feel like not many people wheel much anymore. My jeep crew has definitely tapered off a good bit.

 

We need to do something about that.

 

MOAB
If anyone is interested, we have a thread started for those lookin to to to rock therapy this year that are in the east coast. So far plans are very basic but we'd like more people so we can set them in stone

Would love to do a MOAB trip, but I don't think I could do it this year. I am going to try hard to have it budgeted for next year thou.

 

Would prefer a north Colorado/Wyoming trails trip myself but MOAB is on the list for one day.

 

That would be awesome!

 

My favorite thread for a Colorado/Wyoming trip - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-epic-wy-co-meet-picture-thread.289451/

 

Hey whats up fellas? I'm heading down to Birmingham on Monday for a couple weeks. Wanted to introduce myself and see if any of yall are in the area and could recommend stuff to check out. Restaurants, Bars, a good gym, sight seeing, anything to keep me entertained. Would be down to meet up if theres anything going on. Thanks

 

It depends where you're going to be staying at in B'ham but check out Uptown and Avondale Brewery, I havnt been to the Brewery but I've heard good things. There's a bunch of local bars just depends on what your crowd is and how dressy you want to get.

 

If your still around on the 12th of March, we are having a Mod day up in Huntsville. A few of the B'ham guys are planning to drive up.
