Oyster Price Reality in 2025
Shooting a picture in MAR of 2014, I never guess back then that I’d be running across it eleven years later and shaking my head upon seeing the numbers. Pretty sure I shot this at King Neptune’s Seafood in Gulf Shores. In those days, you could score a dozen raw oysters on the half shell…

If the aircraft looks vaguely familiar, that’s because the P-8A is based on the Boeing 737 passenger jet’s airframe. Based out of Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Poseidons routinely make such flights over…
Pollo Cozumel
My first encounter with Pollo De Cozumel at Cozumel Bar and Grill in Point Clear: Grilled chicken cooked with onions and bell peppers, topped with cheese dip and served with choice of beans and rice ($14.99).
