Dear Carol,
Development Buzz
Though we are certainly not
finished with the hot and humid
days of our extended summer, Fall
seems to be in the air this week just in time for football, the
Downtown Living Tour
and BayFest! The Tour is back this year, giving folks
a rare opportunity to get a taste of the variety and
excitement of downtown living. And with the great
lineup of talent, BayFest is sure to attract one of its
largest crowds ever. See the full articles below for

Fall is certainly shaping up to be one of the best times
of year to experience all that Downtown has to offer!
Development Buzz
Many of you have asked recently about the status of
the Crescent Theatre, often with a
bit of alarm. The project indeed has
seen a few delays, but developers
Max Morey and John Switzer assure
us that the opening is only a few
weeks away.
The development, which includes
the art house theatre and two
luxurious condominiums, is now
going through the final round of inspections with the
city. That process has taken a little longer than
expected. Look for a grand opening before the end of
next month.
In other development news:
The folks at the Battle House Hotel continue to
add to their amenities and, in the process,

help establish downtown Mobile as a "must visit"
Southern city. The much-anticipated Battle
House Spa is a true urban retreat, offering
10,000 square feet of soothing sights and
sounds, including a Zen fire pit in the women's
quiet room. The spa offers everything you
would expect from a retreat anywhere in the
world, from treatment rooms for massages and
facials, a full service salon, steam rooms and
whirlpools. And for those who choose activity
over pampering, there is a state-of-the-art
fitness center as well. The Spa is in its "soft
opening" phase this month and should be open
to the general public in a few weeks.
HUKA Entertainment has moved from 354
Dauphin Street to offices in DeTonti Square,
opening up space for Hernandez-Calhoun
Design International, an architecture and
engineering firm based in Pensacola, Florida.
The firm specializes in providing design services
to governmental agencies and will be working
locally with the Corps of Engineers.

As we noted above, the Spa at the Battle House Hotel will be
offering world-class spa treatments in a soothing urban
setting, but it will also be selling beauty and bath treatments.
The luxurious lotions and potions are just the thing to extend
your afternoon of pampering and make great gifts for anyone
on your list.
In other retail news:
The busy corner of Dauphin and St. Joseph Streets will soon see even more
activity as Source One Legal Copy opens its doors. The business is
relocating from Water Street to the renovated space at 110 Dauphin Street.
A Spot of Tea proprietor Tony Moore is venturing beyond the breakfast and lunch
crowd by open Club Insanity in the former comedy club space behind the
restaurant. The late night spot will be open in about eight weeks, creating 24/7
activity in the 300 block of Dauphin Street.
The Haunted Book Loft at Bienville Books is now open, more than doubling
the floor space of the quirky, charming book store. The new area creates more
space for new and used titles and will house sections devoted to horror, the
supernatural and special collections of Mardi Gras books and memorabilia.
Bienville Books
Downtown's retail picture gets a little brighter next month when Inside Up
opens in temporary space in the first floor of the Staples Pake Building at 80 St.
Michael Street. The store will offer home accents, seasonal gifts, clothing,
jewelry, gourmet food and local art. The owners are remodeling space at 7

BayFest Info and Tickets
Downtown Living Tour Set for October 25th
Tour the wide variety of Downtown residences
If the thought of walking to work, fine restaurants and exciting events sounds
appealing, you won't want to miss the second annual Downtown Living Tour. The tour
is set for Saturday, October 25th from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and will include
everything from bohemian, urban lofts to sophisticated condominiums to impeccably
restored historic homes. Nowhere else in town will you find this kind of variety in
housing options.
Last year more than 700 people came down to sample the urban lifestyle, and this
year even more projects have been completed and added to the tour. As more and
more people opt for the convenience and excitement of downtown living, our
neighborhood is becoming one of the hottest in the region. Meet us in Cathedral
Square to start the tour, but be sure to come early enough to visit the farmers' market
while you're here.
Many thanks to our sponsors for making this event possible:

Discover Dauphin Historic District
Take A Walk Back in Time
Several times a week during peak tourist seasons, visitors will walk into our office and
ask about the historic sites in downtown. The Alliance has a wonderful brochure, the
Dauphin Street Historic District Walking Tour, and armed with this guide they head off
to discover the delights of our architectural past. As is the case in most cities, visitors
to Mobile often experience more local history than locals themselves!
Each month we'll be featuring a stop on the walking tour so you'll be able to explore
downtown's history without ever leaving your computer - but we think you'll find that
the more you know about our past, the more you'll want to get out and walk back in
time on your own.

Downtown Mobile Alliance Elects Board Members
The Downtown Mobile Alliance is pleased to welcome four new members to the Board
of Directors. Mickie Russell with Dauphin Realty, Stephen Carter with S&A Investment
Strategies, Ralph Hargrove with Hargrove and Associates and Margo Gilbert with the
Battle House Hotel.
Mickie Russell is the owner of Dauphin Realty and has long had a residence
in Downtown. She recently opened up a new Dauphin Realty office in the Mattress
Factory on Dauphin Street.
Stephen Carter is a landscape architect with the Corps of Engineers and the owner of
two properties on Conti Street, one of which has been beautifully restored. The other
is in the process of restoration.

Ralph Hargrove is the president of Hargrove and Associates, a fast-growing
engineering firm based in Mobile. Hargrove is renovating the Neisner Building at 26
South Royal along with a portion of the adjoining Kress Building. When the offices
are finished, near the end of the year, he'll move a total of about 200 employees to
the central business district.
Margo Gilbert is the general manager of the Battle House Hotel and has overseen the
opening of hotel, restaurants, gift shop and spa. Her demand for top quality customer
service is setting a new standard for the hospitality industry in Mobile.
Parking Pressures Begin to Ease
Earlier this year the Alliance commissioned a parking
demand and availability study, and with the guidance of the
Mayor's Parking Working Task Force several
recommendations were made to the city. Some were long
term, more expensive solutions, but others were fairly easy
and inexpensive to implement.
We're seeing the first of those changes on Jackson Street
between Government and Conti Streets, where about a dozen parking spaces were
added. The Task Force has identified other areas where an additional 200 spots could
be created with little more than new paint.
Though we must continue to work toward the longer term solution of parking garages,
these first steps will provide some short term relief. Mayor Sam Jones and the City
have shown great leadership in addressing this issue which continues to create a
competitive disadvantage for the retailers, restaurants and some businesses
located Downtown. The work, however, is just beginning.

B & B Pet Stop Makes Main Street Donation
Earlier this summer B & B Pet Stop at 5035 Cottage Hill
Road named Main Street Mobile as its Round Up for Charity
designee. Pet lovers rounded up on purchases during the
month of June and Main Street has received a check for
$1026. The money will be used for public landscaping
programs downtown.
Since the Round-Up for Charity program began in March 2007, B&B has raised more
than $18,000! The Trufant family, owners of B&B Pet Stop, has long been active in
the arts and downtown redevelopment and says the effort is a win-win for everyone.

Space 301 Offers Art Classes Downtown
As a true contemporary arts center, Space 301 is much more than a gallery for current
artists. The center is offering art classes to the general public
in its newly renovated space, helping develop new talent
and teaching those of us who haven't picked up a paint brush
since grade school how to explore our creative nature.
The five week classes begin next month and cover a wide
variety of media, including clay, printmaking, bookbinding, and painting. There are
sessions for children and adults, taught by some of the area's leading artists.

Hurricane on the Bayou - IMAX Film
Gulf Coast Exploreum, Through November 26
Tuesday-Sunday, 1pm & 3pm
Hurricane on the Bayou - a new IMAX production from
MacGillivray Freeman Films in association with the Audubon Nature Institute - takes
viewers on a breathtaking tour of one of the most vibrant places in America, the
Louisiana bayou and the city of New Orleans, a place overflowing with life, love, music
and heartbreaking natural beauty. Here, in the region's bountiful coastal wetlands,
alligators, humans and other wildlife have lived in harmony for centuries. Tragically,
these wetlands are eroding into the sea at the speed of one acre every thirty minutes,
leaving the entire region more vulnerable to major hurricanes. Hurricane on the
Bayou offers an emotional portrayal of this environmental calamity and the staggering
effects of one of the most devastating natural disasters in American history, Hurricane
Katrina.

Alvin Stella: Recent Paintings
Friday, Sep 12, 2008 - Sunday, Nov 09, 2008
Alvin Sella's recent paintings are wonderful explorations of
texture, color, atmosphere and form. With these elements he
pushes each of his paintings to question and expose
fascinating subtleties in the nature of balance. This body of
works simultaneously carries a tremendous weight of experience and the crackle of
immediate sensation.
These paintings, all from this decade, draw on Sella's deep and unique understanding
of the figure and painting sensation. This direction in painting's history can be traced
to the Impressionists who were interested in the nature of vision itself as well as
making paintings. Then the idea became more specific and defined in history through
Cezanne's work, as he broke with the more classic Impressionist practices. In
Cezanne's paintings, "sensation is not in the "free" or disembodied play of light and
color (impressions); on the contrary, it is in the body". This understanding of the
nature of sensation and how painting can express it became central to the practices of
Sella and his contemporaries, in the 1940's.

Mobile Public Library's TGI Thursday Film Series - Caramel
7:00 pm; Bernheim Hall, Ben May Main Library
This must-see romantic comedy follows the lives and loves of five
women whose paths criss-cross in a Beirut salon. With a beautiful
narrative style and some clever plot devices the film introduces us
to: Nisrine, engaged to Bassam, with a secret she shares with her
co-workers; Jamale, a divorced mother of teens, a part-time model,
fearing the encroachment of time; Rima, always in pants, attracted
to Siham, a client who smiles back; Layale, in love with a married
man, willing to drop everything at a honk of his horn. There's also
Rose, a middle-aged seamstress, who cares for aging sister. Rose has a suitor; Layale
has an admirer on the police force. Is delight a possibility? Is caramel a sweet or an
instrument of pain?
This is a Lebanese film in Arabic and French with English subtitles. It runs 95 minutes
and is rated PG for thematic elements involving sexuality, language and some
smoking.
