PARROTHEADS REJOICE

Jimmy's 'Crazy Sista' has a great restaurant
LUCY BUFFETT IS A COOKBOOK AUTHOR, Southern personality,
restaurateur-oh, and singer Jimmy Buffett's little sister. She
opened LuLu's on the canal in Gulf Shores to showcase Southern
seafood-"gumbo love runs deep" is her motto. Originally started
on Week's Bay in Fairhope, Alabama, Lulu's Sunset Grill was
more of a dive bar/bait shop until Buffett's lease ran out and
she moved everything she could on a 150-foot barge down the
canal to the restaurant's current location in Gulf Shores. A big,
swinging joint that always has live music-and walls and walls
of photographs dedicated to her big brother-the food is good
and beachy. Try the crab melt nachos.

INCLUDING MORE GREAT EVENT SPEAKERS:

WORTH THE DRIVE: MOBILE
HOME TO CONTINENTAL MOTORS AND AN AIRBUS manufacturing
facility, Mobile is a vibrant city with many interesting attractions
and historic sites. In addition to tours of Continental Motors and
Airbus for AOPA members (see page R-7), this saltwater port city
is the home of the USS Alabama in Battleship Memorial Park.
The "Mighty A" is a 45,000-ton battleship that saw active duty
in World War II. The ship is open for tours daily-bring good
walking shoes as it's one big boat. Continental and Airbus are
part of the large 1,600-acre Mobile Aeroplex, home to divisions
of these major aviation companies and more. Mobile was settled
by the French in 1702 and retains much of its French heritage. It
is home to the oldest organized Mardi Gras festival and Mobile
takes "Carnival" seriously. Mobile is just 38 nautical miles from
Gulf Shores and is served by Mobile Regional Airport (MOB).
