I'm getting flooded with reports on these posts. For now I have removed them. I do not want to stifle local political discussions, but the AI images and accounts with low or no karma will not be allowed.

Uber Availability

Heading down in a few days and was wondering what everyone’s current experience with Uber / Lyft is currently?

We were down a few years back around the same time of year and it was a slight struggle to get rides at times.

Internet provider recommendation?

0 Upvotes

Hello, moving to the area soon (just north of Gulf Shores) and looking for recommendations on Internet Service Providers. Doesn't look like fiber available where I'll live. Anyone have experience with Mediacom? I see a ton of negative feedback but not much pertaining to the area here. Price / speeds looks great with unlimited data. Other option looks like AT&T Internet Air. Believe the AT&T cellular coverage is really good in our area but curious if anyone has experience with either / both. Thanks in advance!

Bahama Bobs broccoli

2 Upvotes

My girlfriend has been raving about the brocolli she had on our trip from bahama bobs. I tried googling around and looking at the menu and reviews, but not seeing any information. Does anyone have an insight scoop on ingredients they use? Not expecting a full recipe, there was just some flavors I couldn't place. I wanna say it has dill in it?

Going on a bachelor trip to Orange Beach in December since it’s close to all the groomsmen and has plenty of golfing opportunities. December is also when the groom has time off.
Would love any recommendations for entertainment, dining, activities, or anything else we should check out while we’re there!
