This is awesome, and I can't wait to see it all come to fruition!!! Any info on what unannounced restaurants and retailers coming to Mcgowin park, shoppes at bel air, and pinebrook shopping center. In other words inside info or rumors!

I haven't heard anything new on those centers, other than the Bel Air stores shown on the map NBC 15 showed months ago.

Downtown mini golf bar downtown ? I like that, sounds like Mobile version of a D&B

Will this mixed use building have a height above 250` on water street ?!

Also are they still building the pedestrian bridge to connect the museum to Mardi Gra park ?

This is a little more than a year old I believe but they did a great job with the DeBlase building.



DeBlase Building (1904). Awesome renovation



DeBlase (1904)

I knew this young guy here in Philadelphia who is going to culinary school. He told me his brother was moving to Mobile from Mississippi to open a downtown oyster bar/restaurant. Does anyone know if that has opened?

The young guy I used to talk to here in Philly has moved to Allentown, PA so I don't see him anymore. I was just wondering if that place opened up yet in downtown Mobile.

There has been a oyster bar or two downtown for decades now, but no "new" ones. While we would certainly welcome most new restaurants downtown (barring most chains), I haven't heard anything about this one specifically.
