Love it here and very busy - 7/10/2010
There is a great divide I agree but I live in Orange Beach and we are lower middle class and are quite happy.

On a positive note, it is a lovely sub-tropical area and the climate is very nice. Water sports and fishing abound, and represent the only saving grace for the area. It is a great place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live
