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.

Coming from Fairhope, we turned right off Highway 98 at Magnolia Springs and drove straight to the end of Highway 49 to the new Tin Top Restaurant and Oyster Bar. Sitting majestically beside the beautiful Bon Secour River, like a great big lodge, it is more reminiscent of visiting someone's home on the water.

This past Friday, we celebrated a close friend’s 65th birthday by hosting dinner at our house. I knew just what I wanted to serve: fresh-caught fish to grill on the Green Egg. I have this down to a science, so I felt confident it would turn out well. The most important ingredient is purchasing the best type of fresh fish suitable for grilling. That’s where Fairhope Fish House comes in. 

Impact 100, a women's organization with chapters throughout the United States, is currently halfway through its 2026 membership drive. There are several opportunities for those interested in joining this incredible group to meet its members and learn more about the impact they are having on our communities throughout the Scenic 98 Coastal area.

It’s always fun exploring all the entertaining events happening throughout the Scenic 98 Coastal communities. Now that spring is arriving this month, there are many great options to keep your social calendar full of fun! Check out more things to do each week in Tidbits and Best Bets. Thanks to Dharma Blue and Chuck’s Fish! Two of the best dining experiences along our Gulf Coast!
