Not to mention a Shell, a Walgreen's, a couple of churches, a McDonald's, and another Mexican restaurant. It's almost as if it's not a purely residential neighborhood at all.
They need to move Greeno Road somewhere else, too. It's not very residential either, yet awfully near a residential neighborhood. As a matter of fact, so are all of the businesses in downtown Fairhope. Maybe it's time to consider an ordinance banning all businesses.
