Glad you had a good time in Mobile… (raised here and went to SHC!). I didn’t know the Peanut Shop sold mammies though. The Spot of Tea and Wintzells are musts if you wanna enjoy Mobtown.

What a wonderful post. I love the idea of road trips and seeing this beautiful country via driving.

This weekend I made the drive alone from Louisville, KY to Texas. My mother was a nervous wreck the entire time but I refused to let anything bother me. I made regular stops and just did my thing. In some of the places there were a few looks given but no one said or did anything.

My only regret is not being able to stop for sight seeing adventures as that is safer with a side kick along.

Love the blog!

If that peach is where I think it is on I-75 in GA you drove right by my house. Well, my city at least. :0)

You have to visit CHARLESTON, SC!!! It’s my home and I’m telling you, it’s gorgeous and the food is yummy. Sooooo much history here, the good and the bad but you will learn and experience ALOT! If you do visit, visit the market and eat eat eat!

New Orleans baby! And to be frank, you’re probably safer being Black than something else here. Just saying…

“I absolutely loved it, and if I had the chance, I’d totally live there!”

Hey Bella! I was intrigued by your comment… what was it about Chapel Hill that won you over so?

I currently live in Detroit, but will be re-locating once I complete my doctorate. I’d love to hear from Bella’s living in Chapel Hill, Miami, Denver, San Diego, Seattle and TX.

Oh and Bella….you will LOVE Chicago…but the winters will bring tears to your eyes!

Hey…how did I leave that out of my last comment? Seconding the motion on Greensboro. It’s a fabulous city with lots of history and modernity together without a lot of the “prefab” you find in Raleigh and Chapel Hill. It’s also the home of Bennett College.

Hey you came through my State.. When you come through to see the Big Peach I live 30 mins away from that.. The south has changed some. People aren’t really making a big deal about it like in the past. In my town alone hardly anyone is dating people of the same race here. So it is common for us.
I love myself some Mobile.. I wanted to move there once. Wintzell’s Friday nights 25 cents oysters are my fav… I am trying to remember the Jazz club I went to in Mobile..
