Which is about the same time as it legitimately takes to get from anwhere in Mobile (unless you are already downtown, at a game, lets say).

You must have been flying and hit zero traffic. 131 miles in 90 minutes? That's average speed of 87 miles an hour, which I'm pretty sure is pretty significantly over the limit on all possible routes, let alone leaving Troy and getting into PCB.

takes me about 2.5 hours to get to PCB from my apartment in Troy.

I never did the math, but I guess it is almost impossible to make down there that quick... Maybe i found a rabbit hole. My bad guys. I have made that trip several times, maybe i just didn't start counting till E-Prise?? I live in Mobile and I swear it feels the same going from here to GShores as it does going from Troy to PC. Maybe it has always been wishful thinking. haha

I always found it humorous that the stoplights in Bowling Green are numbered.

If you're close to Murfreesboro, you can also drive about 45 minutes away and visit Jack Daniel's Distillery. It's a free, one hour tour, and you get Lynchburg Lemonade at the end. The George Dickel Distillery is also on the way to Lynchburg. Plus, the Murfreesboro square has plenty of bars/restaurants/live music to make any night fun. We also have Go USA with putt putt, go karts, arcade, batting cages, driving range, etc. The shopping is great in Murfreesboro and we are also the restaurant capital of Tennessee. Nashville is close and fun, but Chattanooga is only about 1.5-2 hours away and is pretty awesome. The good thing about the Boro is that it is close to so many things.

Several museums, including the Mardi Gras Museum
Gulf Coast Explorium Science Center and IMAX Theater
Hank Aaron Childhood Home and Museum
Dauphin Island Estuarium
Art galleries downtown
Historic homes and churches
Plenty of golfing

Grilled oysters at Wentzels and if the weather is nice have a beer on the patio of one of the downtown bars.

Exactly what I was going to add. Southern fare/seafood restaurants up and down the causeway and around the Dauphin St area. Well, really, all over the city, but yeah. Wintzells, Felix's, Original Oyster House, etc. Cafe Royal on Dauphin is a nicer, and really good food joint. Blackened grouper with a crawfish topping is my favorite.


Coming Soon....The GulfQuest National Maritime Museum
