I first met Aimee Risser, the President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of the Central Gulf Coast, through my late close friend, Mike Lapeyrouse. Mike ran the American Equity Underwriters insurance division at The Cooper Group, Inc. in Mobile.

Crossing Your Wake on America's Great Loop, Bryan and Carol Megginson
You may or may not know what the Great Loop is all about, but it’s a voyage reserved for those with a keen sense of adventure, patience, and fortitude. It’s funny how some things just align for lifelong dreams to come together. Bryan and Carol Megginson have the 2020 pandemic to thank for their recent adventure.

MD Aesthetics of Mobile Bay
With the holidays upon us, we all know the temptation to splurge is in high season. Is there any way around those extra pounds, feeling better about ourselves, or even improving our health and wellness this time of year? Do we really need to wait to get on a better track?

Beachball Properties, Hunter and Ginger Harrellson, Orange Beach
Now that the peak tourist season of Summer has passed, many beachgoers look forward to Fall for quiet, leisurely, and more peaceful vacations at their favorite beach community. Come Winter, things will pick up as snowbirds seeking a respite from the frigid northern climates descend on beach towns. The migration from season to season is predictable, but it does change, and, kind of like the weather, especially as economic conditions fluctuate.

Portside Advertising: A 20-Year Look Back While Moving Forward
I was recently invited to sit in on a roundtable discussion with the principals of Portside Advertising and three of their long-term clients. The occasion was Portside’s 20th year of being in business, providing clients with advertising counsel and marketing execution. The subjects were how methodology has changed and progressed over the years, and what subsequently, the future holds.

Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, Destin - Ft. Walton Beach
On a recent trip to the Emerald Coast, Linda and I went to the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park in Destin / Fort Walton Beach. This was my first time visiting the park in about 50 years, but it certainly felt familiar. It was Fall Break, and there were lots of families enjoying the beautiful weather. Of special note, the park is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.

Stauter-Built Society and the 2nd Annual Causeway Classic Wooden Boat Show at The Bluegill
This Saturday, October 25, the Bluegill Restaurant on the Mobile Causeway, will host the second annual Causeway Classic Wooden Boat show. Saturday’s show will feature several wooden boats, but mostly Stauter-Built Boats. The idea to host a wooden boat show was conceived last year by Channing Flowers to raise funds for his father, Chan, who was recovering from a debilitating disease called Guillain Barre syndrome. A wooded boat enthusiast himself, Chan is doing much better and has made this year’s show his calling.

A Sense of Place: Scenic 98 Coastal Communities
Having grown up along the Gulf Coast, I have early impressions of the communities that make up the Scenic 98 Coastal area. Mobile was home, but fishing trips with my family out of Dauphin Island were a weekly occurrence in warm weather. We logged many days at my cousins’ summer home on the Little Lagoon down Ft. Morgan road, and spent time on Cotton Bayou with friends in Orange Beach. Eventually, my folks bought a home in Pt. Clear where we spent summers from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
