Three centuries old and thriving, Mobile sits proudly near the Gulf of Mexico, a window on the world, open to people and cultures of all kinds. Some five flags--French, Spanish, British, American and Confederate--have flown over the city, with traces of their governments, architecture, languages and lifestyles still seen today. African spice and recipes influence daily fare in foods such as gumbo, West Indies Salads and jambalaya. And the gifts of the Gulf -- fresh shrimp, oysters, crab and fish--ensure dinner is nothing ordinary.

Indeed, Mobile is a town with a huge appetite and its own special joy of life. The original home to Mardi Gras, the month-long carnival preceding the serious Lenten season, Mobile enjoys a full dance card and a busy social/sports calendar year-round.

Sports? Absolutely. Tomorrow's pro football stars are decided each January in Mobile's annual Senior Bowl. The GMAC Mobile, Alabama Bowl hosts teams from Conference USA and the Mid-America Conference in late December. (ESPN coverage recently declared Mobile the up and coming bowl destination.)

If golf is your game, twenty-one world class golf courses are just a short drive from your door. And Mobile's ever-temperate climate makes play possible practically 365 days a year.

In Mobile, the activities are endless, as are the possibilities of perfect, tasteful, fun-loving homes you'll find with LLB&B.
