Pros: Truly Beautiful and diverse Cons: Humid and Hot in the summertime...
Some people aren’t proud of where they come from, but I am a huge fan of where I live. Although I love to travel and see new places, I have never lived outside of my sweet home Alabama. I have never found a reason to. A couple of places that I have ...
Pros: beauty, nature, waterfalls, etc... Cons: no food facilities.
Little River Canyon is about 35 miles away from the City of Rome, GA. Once there, the wind whistles through pines and elms that line the canyon. There is something for everyone. You may walk the rocks on the side, take a hike trough the trails off the...
Pros: Everything - fun, fun, fun! Cons: it only lasts for two weeks
Mardi Gras is my favorite time of year and has been for at least the past 14 years. I first went to Mardi Gras in 1986 and have been attending off and on for ever since. Everyone knows about Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but we’re talking Mardi Gras in...
Pros: The Baggage Claim Center Cons: Didn't care for the state
I never heard of this store until a friend from Alabama sent me an e-mail and a link to it. He heard about it on Good Morning America. Wow wee! I checked out the web site and found something I never knew. Luggage on planes that is unclaimed goes to the...
Pros: many exhibits, low admission cost Cons: There are no cons

Sure, we all know of the major attractions of Alabama, which some of you probably consider to be none, but what about the smaller places? You know, the places that are little more than a dot on the map which no one has ever heard of. I'm all for the...
Pros: one of a kind Cons: not much else to see in the area
In the heart of downtown Enterprise, Alabama is a monument dedicated to the Mexican boll weevil. This is the only known monument in the world to be dedicated to a pest. The monument is a lady holding a large boll weevil over her head. There is a large...
Pros: See beautiful country side. Cons: What cons?
So I admit that I am a permanent resident of Clanton, Alabama. I was born here, raised here, and will most likely be here until I die. Being from Alabama I know a lot about the state and places to visit. I know how beautiful the land is and how...
Pros: Fort Morgan is a wonderful beach vacation area. Cons: Twenty miles back to Gulf Shores can be some distance.
We are just back from a vacation at Fort Morgan, Al. This area accepts pets on their beaches. Through Meyer Rentals, we rented a house called Volunteer Landing and were not disappointed. On the web site, photos make the house look a bit garish because ...
Pros: If you love flowers and nature, this is the place to visit. Cons: None unless you hate flowers and nature.
I'm a self professed flower freak and garden geek. I'm not ashamed to admit it, either. I love flowers. I love my garden. I love the feel of soil underneath my fingers and watching seedlings turn into beautiful blossoming beauties. To me, gardening...
Pros: Good place to learn about Native American culture Cons: This is a smaller powwow

Pros: nice beach culture and nice beach Cons: jellyfish infested waters made swimming impossible
I went to Gulf Shores a couple of years ago with a friend. The town has miles and miles of beaches and a great beach culture. The scenery was beautiful if you don't mind big hotels and aren't looking for a wilderness getaway, then you would probably...
