Right before the Amtrak Mardi Gras service was to leave Mobile, two CSX freight trains arrive causing a 17 min delay. A inauspicious start to the service that took 20 years to resume with delays largely due to passenger vs freight rail disputes.

Amtrak Mardi Gras Service about to deport New Orleans for Mobile. I think it's actually happening after all these years.

A big day in Gulf Shores today as the first commercial flight arrives to the Alabama beach city. A water spout greeting as the Allegiant Air flight from Knoxville, Tenn., approaches the new terminal.

Wanted to share this from over the lunch hour today. What makes a city great is having a bit of uniqueness to it. Here's to the street musicians who make that happen. I loved seeing this outside our office in downtown Mobile, Alabama.
