Mobile Bay's Eastern Shore offers several communities with small-town Southern beauty and charm. Fairhope is one of those. There we found tree-lined brick streets framed with flowers, cafes, B&B's, and well-kept turn of the century cottages. From Fairhope we ventured further south to Point Clear, the home of Marriott's posh Grand Hotel, Golf Club, and Spa. We continued on through Magnolia Springs which was home and inspiration to Winston Groom, who wrote Forrest Gump, and Fannie Flagg, who wrote Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe. In keeping with our quest to sample Alabama, we lunched on authenic pulled pork BBQ at an unlikely out-of-the-way spot we happened upon, and as luck would have it, thoroughly enjoyed!
