We're just praying: Baldwin County braces for Hurricane Isaias
Hours before Hurricane Isaias was expected to make landfall, Raul Aguilar Salazar inspected the plywood he had fastened over his home's windows. A Foley resident for 11 years, Salazar still vividly remembers Hurricane Sally in 2020: fallen trees, a flooded front yard and a power outage that lasted nine days. “We had a hard time from that,” said Salazar, pastor of Casa de Luz, a Spanish-language Christian fellowship that meets at The Island Church in Orange Beach.

Mobile and New Orleans are sending mounted police officers to Oxford, Mississippi, to help patrol the city before and during Saturday night’s highly anticipated Ole Miss-LSU football game and the return of Coach Lane Kiffin to the university he left last year.

'Protect our children' banners spark controversy as Mobile scraps displays
Eleven banners hanging from public street poles in downtown Mobile promoting National Child Awareness Month and urging residents to “protect our children from gender ideology” are drawing criticism from LGBTQ advocates, who contend the message targets the city's LGBTQ community and seeks to sow division.

US Rep. Barry Moore wants I-10 bridge named after Donald Trump, Gulf of America
A new 215-foot, six-lane cable-stayed bridge is the signature feature of the $3.2 billion Interstate 10 Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project, which could be under construction this fall. But the bridge doesn't have a name, at least not yet. U.S. Rep. Barry Moore , R-Enterprise, said Tuesday that it should be named the “Gateway to the Gulf of America, the Donald J. Trump” bridge. He said he had spoken with White House staffers about the idea and had approached Alabama lawmakers, including state Rep.

Alabama's ‘ghost' congressional primary: What you need to know about the special election
When voters go to the polls Tuesday throughout South Alabama, they will encounter a congressional contest unlike anything on a ballot since Saturday's primaries in Louisiana.

Voters can choose their favorite. But here's the twist: the outcome doesn't matter .
Alabama Republicans push for new congressional map after seismic Supreme Court ruling: 'It's time to act'

John Sharp, al.com Nearly a year after Lulu Gribbin urged Alabama lawmakers to create the nation's first government‑issued shark alert system , the program is now quietly in place along the state's coast.

Alabama secretary of state blasts Trump-backed rival for visiting Islamic center: ‘I want no part in Islam'
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen sharply criticized Trump-endorsed John Wahl for attending an event at an Islamic Center during the Muslim holiday of Ramadan.

He said his March 5 visit to an Islamic Center in Anniston was part of a community interfaith gathering.
WWE's The Undertaker says late manager would have been ‘tickled' by Mobile Mardi Gras tribute
Somewhere just past the brick walls of the Old Church Street graveyard, you could almost imagine a soft shimmer in the air, the outline of a portly, pale‑faced, ghoul whose high‑pitched promos sent wrestling crowds into a frenzy through the 1990s and 2000s. That spirit felt close on February 6, when the Order of Inca rolled through Mobile with its “Inca Mania” theme.

'You cannot replace that money': Alabama online sales tax battle surfaces as session begins
Alabamas fast-growing online sales tax faced renewed scrutiny last week, with state budget officials openly warning that a court challenge could blow a massive hole in government finances.

After rent dispute, Mobile mayor talks trolleys, theater, Bayfest and buskers in wide-ranging Q&A
Less than 40 days into his first term as Mobiles mayor, Spiro Cheriogotis found himself in unfamiliar territory. After years on the bench presiding over eviction cases as a Mobile County District judge, he was suddenly facing the possibility of one himself.
