April and Her Entourage Arrive Downtown Mobile, Alabama

It was not too long before April and her entourage met me downtown. I had walked back from Dauphin's through Bienville Square and down Dauphin Street back to the Corner 251 bistro at the Admiral Hotel on Government Street. A quick round of travelers and we walked back to the Malaga Inn which was only two blocks away.

I stopped everyone for a photo on the corner of Church Street and South Claiborne Street in front of the Malaga Inn sign. Unfortunately, there was already an argument between Brendan and Kevin of which April and I were unaware. It happened behind us on the walk from Corner 251 to the Malaga Inn sign involving an ice cube and a drink to the face. I still do not know the exact story but they were too upset for a photo. Kayla filled us in briefly and we took photos and laughed while those two walked on to the parking lot. Here are a few photos to catch us up.

Scoping Out Mobile Alabama

December 15, 2018 Dauphin Street, Bienville Square, Malaga Inn - Downtown Mobile, Alabama Saturday morning, no, not even Saturday morning; Saturday noon, I arrived first to downtown Mobile. I drove over from my place on Perdido Key, Florida - only about an hour east of Mobile. April was driving down from Honoraville, Alabama with Kayla, Brendan, Missy, Kevin and Levi. I was supposed to also have Kevin C. and Pamela L. meet us for the overnight stay, but neither of them could join us. Kevin C. and Pamela L. are my ghost whisperers so I sorely missed them on this trip. Both of them actually saw a ghost at the Malaga Inn on a previous trip in their hotel room so I felt confident that they would channel a ghost for this trip. Alas, we will have to get them to Mobile on another trip. April and her crew were late as Kayla was late packing (this was a one-night trip). As such, I had time to bum around downtown Mobile alone and scope things out. The weather was cool and great for w...

Malaga Inn Mobile Alabama

December 15, 2018 Downtown Mobile at the Malaga Inn It was after 2pm be the time we walked back from Corner 251 so we could check into the hotel. I had us two suites reserved - suite 201 and 119. The Malaga Inn is a historic property that has hosted celebrities and debutantes for decades. There are pictures on the lobby walls of Michael Landon, Merv Griffin, Ronald Reagan and more. Mobile has quite the storied past and the Malaga Inn played a big part in that history. Suite 119 was the bigger room with two double beds in the bedroom and a separate living room facing Church Street. Our favorite, though, was 201 with its balcony overlooking Church Street. We love the Thomas Jefferson windows that open to seven feet and let you walk out like a door to the balcony. There is also a great center courtyard used often for parties and weddings. A fountain runs in the center. Breakfast and evening cocktails are served in the rear left corner suite which opens to a patio facing east. Th...

Mobile Alabama with April

December 15, 2018 Celebrating my Sister's Birthday in Mobile, Alabama My sister, April, turned ### this year and I offered to celebrate with her in Mobile, Alabama. I promised good food, lots of drinks and ghost hunting. She was on-the-fence until ghost hunting. Read all about our maraudering (spelled wrong but sounds better this way) and pillaging around downtown Mobile over the next few pages including Dauphin's, Dauphin Street, Battle House, Malaga Inn, Cigar Bar, seancing (yes, more misspelling with intent) and more. Don't worry about my spelling and grammar please. It is far better than how Siri or Google Maps pronounce Mobile, Alabama.
