We go out to the restaurants quite often,said Pete Russell from Michigan.Early bird and lunch specials are a fixture this time of year and so is a game of golf, only this week the games have been frozen out for some.I love to golf so I do a lot of golfing. I haven't this year because of the weather but we'll get started this week, said Merlin Zuiderbeen from Michigan.Cities like Mobile are taking advantage of the snowbird impact. Wednesday, Port City tourism officials hosted an open house in Orange Beach promoting attractions, hotels and restaurants in Mobile.And Mobile is such a nice compliment to what you are doing a the beach because of our history and our architecture and our gardens and the culture.
