111 Places In Mobile That You Must Not Miss is the
ultimate insider's guide to Mobile. It takes you on many fun adventures
in the scenic port city. Although it is known for its Mardi Gras
festivities, few realise that Mobile is the birthplace of Mardi Gras in
the United States. In fact, the city was settled over a century before
Alabama became a state, giving a longer recorded history than the state
itself.
Delve into pure joy as you learn what exactly was the
deal behind the infamous Crichton leprechaun that took the world by
storm early this century. Can you recognise the artists who used
oyster-shaped art to help Mobile thrive? Which connection did the city
have to the Manson family? You may get a little creeped out as you learn
about the arrest of a Manson family member in Mobile and visit
artifacts on display in the police precinct.
