The ‘hankerin’ is for seafood, but not a big, heavy meal. So, Colleen and I stop in for lunch at Kingfisher Seafood restaurant. She goes for the Hawaiian Seafood salad ($18).

Restaurateur John Lozano, a familiar face to many customers at Two Sisters Bakery & Deli on S Mobile St, has left Fairhope.

There’s nothing new about where Colleen and I wind up for Friday date night dinner SEP 26 2025 in Fairhope.
