Many of these towns enjoy a higher quality of life while still retaining good property values. Its your type that has made Fairhope less desirable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-11117339086066824762016-08-04T10:28:33.946-05:002016-08-04T10:28:33.946-05:00Heck yeah.. slurpies and arcade games!Heck yeah.. slurpies and arcade games!Joe Dirte'noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-85488301613278414982016-08-04T09:26:49.592-05:002016-08-04T09:26:49.592-05:00This is to the people who grew up in Fairhope &quo...This is to the people who grew up in Fairhope "back in the day" and who constantly whine about "how everything is changing" and how "it's not like the town I grew up in" - well, wake up and accept reality or move it along folks. Life is constantly changing - that's a fact of life. There is a book titled "Who Moved my Cheese." I suggest you purchase this book and read it. It's about accepting change. Look, Fairhope was a great town "back in the day" and is a great town now. Yes, I know, when you were growing up here "back in the day" in the land of milk and honey you could walk around town at night bare footed, eat bottomless buckets of ice cream and frolic in the bay all day long without a care in the world. You would squint your eyes and peer across the bay wondering what that place called Mobile was like? Well, it sucked! Fairhope is much better. Now, us Mobile folks and others from around the country and world love Fairhope, as well. As such, these people need places to live so they to can enjoy the bottomless buckets of ice cream and endless frolics in the bay too. To be honest, that bay is probably not as clean now as it was "back in the day." So, I'll frolic in the pool. Anyway, back to the point I was trying to make - tear down that rat haven, termite infested, old radio building and construct some nice new homes so others can enjoy a slice of Fairhope as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-6125018071590183332016-08-03T22:06:41.042-05:002016-08-03T22:06:41.042-05:00The civic center was the Delchamps and city hall w...The civic center was the Delchamps and city hall was the token exchange.

If I had the money, I'd buy the land and keep it as is, and turn the station into a museum, preserving WABF's history as OUR voice. That's the problem with all the outsiders moving in. You can't appreciate the charm this town one had. It's just build build build, me me me.

It seems that developers are taking over my old town and it saddens me. I had hoped to bring my children and grandchildren and show them where I grew up, but obviously it doesn't exist anymore.<br />Kori Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008660158001007395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-43935814850224361282016-08-02T21:52:54.541-05:002016-08-02T21:52:54.541-05:00OK, sounds good.
