Ask Rufus: Summer vacation - The Dispatch
July always brings hot humid weather and thoughts of vacations. Though destinations and entertainment have to a large extent changed, summer vacations have long been with us. The Mississippi and Alabama coasts were popular 100 years ago with people from the Golden Triangle and still are. One change though is that rather than Gulf Shores or Orange Beach — then basically a barren beach — it was the Point Clear area along Mobile Bay that was the vacation destination in Alabama.
