Rusty Knuckle Torque Club

A driving sound of a 1950s-style rockabilly band spills from the Handlebar. The music rolls out to the blocked-off street and mixes with the growl of rat rod engines. Children run between scrap-metal bumpers as men and women lean over open hoods, talking shop and admiring the weld lines of the vintage cars lined up for public viewing. Spring’s blossoming ligustrum hangs in the air among the gasoline, grease, and grit.

Mobile Bay Radio

Some really innovative people live among us, who are always doing interesting things, and frankly, it’s hard to stay on top of everything they have going on. Two of whom are a married couple, John and Lynn Henderson Oldshue. Every time our paths cross, I learn that they are working on multiple projects that have a positive impact on our lives and communities.

The Italian Experience!

Occasionally, a dining experience exceeds your wildest expectations. It’s happened twice to me in Fairhope, and both times it was courtesy of Chef Orlando Amaro. He has a fantastic talent and never disappoints. It’s a testament to his passion for pleasing his guests, wherever he happens to be. His resume is a global Who’s Who of award-winning restaurants, several with Michelin stars next to their name. 

Mississippi Monument Respectfully Honors Lynyrd Skynyrd

The terrain looked like I expected it would. There are gently rolling hills with a mix of tall, skinny pine trees and sturdy hardwoods, and there are cow pastures and a few farmhouses nearby. Though I've covered thousands of miles throughout Mississippi in my life, I had never been to the site of Lynyrd Skynyrd's horrific plane crash until last month. 
Day Trippin'

Basketball, Friends, Food, and Grandkids!
