I think the historical connection to the city that you live in is som
ething special you don’t get in the suburban area. D
owntow
n makes M
obile one of those great coastal southern cities.”
“
Gideon Carson Kennedy
Filmm
aker
In any comm
unity there needs to be a central place that is the “face” of the that com
munity.
And luckily for us
Dow
ntown M
obile has becom
e that face. I realy can’t im
agine working
anywhere else.”
