Grew up in Mobile and attended University of South Alabama. Moved away for 3 years to a larger city, but am moving back soon. Mobile is a good mid-size city. It is nothing too exciting, but it definitely has its own culture and a uniqueness to it. Weather is absolutely great 9 months out of the year. Summer is rough, but you have a beach 45 minutes away. Downtown is progressing and is a neat area. With the addition of the Battlehouse Tower, the skyline is not bad coming in from the east over Mobile Bay. Unfortunately Mobile went through what many cities have over the years, an urban exodus. However, it seems like Mobile is starting to swing the pendelum back as many young couples and such are moving back into the core. Also, Mobile is one of the few cities where you can say the city (Downtown, Midtown, Spring Hill, West Mobile) is nicer than the surrounding suburbs. Unless you consider Eastern Shore a suburb. Eastern Shore (Daphne, Fairhope, etc) is very nice.
