Last week I asked: What city is called the Azalea City? It is Mobile, Alabama. Recently, John and I visited Mobile, a great city with a lot to see and experience. Located on the Mobile River it is one of the largest cities on the Gulf Coast plus the first capital of French Louisiana. Our hotel, The Battle House, was in an excellent location and very historic.
Many people don’t think of the Statue of Liberty as a lighthouse but it was officially classified as a lighthouse from 1886 to 1902 and was the first American lighthouse to utilize electricity to light its beacon, which could be seen for more than 20 nautical miles.

Last week I asked: What baseball great was nicknamed “The Hammer?” It is, of course, 
Hank Aaron. On a recent trip to Mobile, Alabama, John and I visited the Hank Aaron Childhood Home. It was built by his father, Herbert, in 1942 and is located next to the Hank Aaron Stadium. We were lucky Mike Callahan, the stadium’s assistant general manager, was available to give us a tour because he is an encyclopedia of Hank Aaron stories.
“This season celebrates talented performers from Central New York and around the world,” said John Shaffer, director of arts programming for the SUNY Oswego program. “Access to both is vital to a rich and balanced cultural experience.”
In helping to promote the Dignity For All Students Act, Quirk’s Players of G. Ray Bodley High School is taking a bold step. They will present the critically acclaimed production The Laramie Project this fall. The story is based on the kidnapping, assault and murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay college student in Wyoming.
I am not the chocolaholic in the family but while we were in Hershey John and I both received a Master’s Degree in Chocolate Tasting and have the diploma to prove it!
One of the many fun things to do at Chocolate World is their Tasting Adventure.
It is a multimedia presentation during which we learned to taste chocolate much like connoisseurs experience wine.
