For the southern coastal states, I-10 seems to represent a dividing line between liberalism and what lies North. Mobile is no exception, with two universities, an influx of foreign students, snowbirds to the Redneck Riviera, and the heavy travel on I-10 itself. I have been living here for 5 years from Denver, all the while driving with no air conditioning. Humidity gets to be high in the summer, though the temp. never seems to go above 90. There are really no ugly parts of Mobile, as industry seems never to have put down roots. The economy is somewhat stagnant, though cost of living is not high.There are interesting cultural attractions, but they are not bursting from the seems like in Boston; one has to keep one's eye out for them. Everyone is talking now about the arrival of Thyssen Krupp and the job Bonanza. For the rest of us, it will mean higher rents and prices.
