“This is the first time we’ve had any entity address what’s happening out there,” Finley says. He’s referring to a restoration project the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program completed at the northern tip of Mon Louis Island in 2016"..."“This was a thriving community at one time,” Finley says. “There was a shipbuilding business at Fowl River. Fruit and vegetables went out on the train to the city. And mostly, people here didn’t concern themselves much with what was happening in Mobile. They were happy and content here on the island.”

Recently, SoulGrown Alabama sat down with Eric Finley to recount the history and tradition of the Utopia Club on Fowl River. The Club was a social respite for Black Mobilians to fish, swim, and play on Alabama's coast in a time when segregation kept them from the public beaches.

The first in a multi-part series on Mon Louis Island, this article tells the story of an important piece of Mobile's coastal history and culture. To read the full article, visit the link below.

A balloon release may last only a few moments, but its impact on the environment can last much longer.

Every balloon that is released eventually comes back to earth, where it can become litter and pose a threat to wildlife, waterways, and natural habitats. The good news? There are plenty of meaningful ways to celebrate milestones, honor loved ones, and create lasting memories without harming the environment.

Small changes in tradition can make a big difference. Choose a wildlife-friendly alternative and help protect the beauty of our planet.
