Getting some good exercise and having a great time don't always go together. Luckily, they do when you spend some quality leisure time enjoying recreation at Mobile's AMF Skyline Lanes. This state-of-the-art bowling facility also features a great arcade, snack bar and also special nights for various local leagues.
If you find yourself wandering around downtown Mobile, make sure to make your way to Spanish Plaza. This scenic, oak-shaded plaza is one of downtown's most photographed attractions, and once you get closer to it, it is easy to see why. One end of the plaza features a classically-styled European inn with iron-faced railings called Malaga. The impressive artwork displayed here won't escape your eye either, as you will be amazed at the Arches of Friendship sculpture, the “Fish Monger” statue and fountain and a plaque that remembers Bernardo de Galvez, the first governor of the Louisiana Territory.
When the people of Mobile think antiques, they think Mary Parker. She has been collecting, refinishing and selling antiques in the area since the 60's. At Mary Parker Antiques, you will be amazed at not only the selection of vintage furniture, housewares and collectables, but you will also be impressed by the excellent condition in which these items are offered. So if you are out to find a memorable gift for someone (or acquire something special for your home), come by and find what you are looking for at Mary Parker Antiques.
For those nights when you and your friends want to venture out but don't want to have to deal with uppity attitudes, thankfully there's a place like the Midtown Pub. This fun nightlife hangout features pool tables, lots of comfortable tables and two huge TVs. The charm and laid-back vibe of the Midtown Pub make it a favorite of everyone from young professionals to old timers to college students. And, it doesn't hurt that the bar stays open from 12 noon to the wee hours of the morning.
