Ok, the Senior Bowl was awesome. Full stadium, beautiful day, great game. We’ll get you a recap soon.
But…
Now it’s Mardi Gras season (yep, already).
So snag a copy of the 2025 Mardi Gras Parade Schedule.
Also, if you’re new to Mardi Gras, get our guide on doing Mardi Gras Like a Mobilian.
Ok, our local discount card sales are on!
Ok, time to start sharing some businesses…

Cammie’s Old Dutch
Mo’ Bay Beignet Co.
Carpe Diem
But here’s where it gets fun!
The prices started at $15 and will increase (up to $25) as we announce the businesses.
So, snag your card before prices increase again.
Have a great local eatery you’d like to see included on the card?
Reply and let us know!
Oh, bonus fun — we will donate $5 of every card sold to the local 501(c)3 non-profit, Do Some Good Mobile.

Ok, it’s time you learn what Joe Cain here is doing in a this fun floral pattern shirt.
Well?
This Joe’s for Joe’s.
Trader Joe’s, that is!
We thought it would be fun to do more than just remind you to ask Trader Joe’s to come to Mobile (but we’ll do that too).
We want to have fun with their corporate office and keep poking them.
That’s why every purchase contributes $1 to our 'Bring Trader Joe’s to Mobile' fund, helping us send letters and gifts to Trader Joe's corporate office!
Forward it to a friend, and let’s bring Trader Joe’s to Mobile!
