Mobile Alabama

It's fucking Alabama you stupid bitch.

They’re still passing laws to prevent blacks people from voting OP. That’s what you’ll find there.

"It's not just a tree; it's a capital punishment device on your very own lawn!"

I can't imagine where one has to be living to think moving to ALABAMA is a good life choice.

Is it technically supposed to be pronounced - Mo-beel, or Mo-bi-al or just flat like the gas station Mo-bal. It's the first one, right?

OP, are you the guy from that Sarah Sanders/Red Hen thread who kept trying to justify not calling out vocal Trumpite friends, on the basis of "Well I'm not from here, so I don't want to be seen as a hypocrite"?

no not that guy R6. Was just wondering if by miracle a forgotten city like Mobile might have a nice lifestyle.

There's plenty of gays who live in "red" cities and states. Obviously, results may vary.

I have some distant relatives that live there and remember an old woman talking about Mobile and saying that Mobile was a small town with not much going on in her day. Her daddy used to say that Mobile supported itself by taking in each other’s washing.

I have a friend who lives there with his husband. He likes it. I can't imagine living there.

The beaches are suppose to be great. The rents and home prices are low. But you're still in Alabama.

Do you want to be surrounded by people who voted for Trump and think he is making america great again? Cause that's where you'll be.

Is that where the Mobile phone was invented?

Op do you have several full length outfits made from long white sheets with matching hoods with pointy caps? If you do you’ll fit right in.

Alabama is one of the fattest, saddest, trashiest places on earth.

The Bellingrath Gardens are lovely.

Depends on which church you go to, OP.

OP, The A gays are moving there fast. You should jump on board.

I don't think Alabama is very mobile.

Mobile County is pink. Plus there is a blue stripe across the state. I'm not defending Alabama and even with a blue stripe you are still ruled by the conservative judiciary and state legislature. No idea what law enforcement is like. Just pointing out there are places in Alabama that don't fit R12's description. It's like claiming you will be surrounded by Clinton voters is you move to NYC ignoring the election results in Staten Island.

They have at least four Walmart supercenters.

What's not to love?

It's Mobile, Alabama. What do You think?

Real estate prices are excellent.

Real estate prices are always excellent in shitholes in the deep south because there is NO demand except from desperately poor idiots.

I once worked with a woman who had come to RI from Alabama. She told me some stories that were scary as all hell to me, enough to know I'd never, ever move to Alabama.

Since you're an outgoing type OP you'll enjoy the nightlife and the chance to mix and mingle.

That looks about my speed as the years will soon accumulate. What about floods?

Kamau Bell did a show on CNN in Mobile. He's originally from there. He was very positive about it. The episode's probably up on YouTube. Mobile brags there are no Confederate statues there and apparently managed to keep its nose clean during the 60s.

I swore I'd never live in a Mobile home.

Maybe I could buy some well-placed land and rebuild a larger version of this, the abandoned Bamboo Club of Mobile.

As a Florida resident, I can tell you that Mobile is on the west end of the Florida panhandle.

We call that area the Red Neck Riviera. The place is beautiful. The people are not.

Stay in the closet and discuss how your girl friend just hates the summer heat. You cant convince her to move to Mobile.

Hilton redid a 75 year old hotel, The Admiral, as a Curio Coll. It looks kinda cool.

The beach in the Kamau Bell show (United Shades of America) looked beautiful. He interviewed two black gay men who dance in some club there. They love Mobile.

R24 - that maybe true. I've looked at apartments in Mobile. They are inexpensive and nice. Take a look at what $800 gets you.

Just wear Depends R27 and you'll be fine.

Op I'm sorry if Alabama Is an option you need to consider. I would rather be dead.

It's no worse than smaller-city Midwest.

He also interviewed an older white man who runs a museum there and there was no way he wasn't gay.

I suspect one of the Prancing Elites is single. Your dating pool may have just increased with them in town. I hope you are a top.

R38 yeah. OP should watch the show. It was surprisingly positive to me.

R10, help a sister out.

What do your friends do for fun? Are their LGBT organizations or social groups going on there? Do they belong to a gay-friendly church.

We need to help OP out NOW, or he's going to swarm DL with "Why did I move to Fucking Alabama" threads LATER.

[quote]Mobile County is pink

When the best you can say is "pink" that says it all, this urban county is still red. Red enough it goes for Trump by double-digits. Aka, if you move there, you will be surrounded by people who mainly voted for Trump.

[quote]It's like claiming you will be surrounded by Clinton voters is you move to NYC ignoring the election results in Staten Island.

Well yes, New York City as a whole went 79% for Clinton. So if you move there you will be surrounded by Clinton voters. Whereas Clinton got 41% of Mobile county, which is 35% black.

If you are someone is used to living in blue areas, the prospect of living in an area where most people around who are actually pro-Trump is a significant life change.
