When The Saenger opened on January 19, 1927, it was the sixty-first Saenger theatre of a chain founded by the Saenger brothers, Julian and Abel of New Orleans. The Saengers were pharmacists when they purchased their first theater in Shreveport in 1911. They eventually owned 320 theaters located throughout the South, Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama and Puerto Rico.
The Saenger Theatre in Mobile took a year to construct at a cost of about 500,000 dollars. Designed by renowned architect, Emile Weil, the Saenger featured the following: three-color auditorium lighting, a two-manual, ten-rank Robert Morton theater organ, full stage facilities to accommodate large road shows including stage and wardrobe traps, four floors of dressing rooms, musicians' and chorus rooms and 2,615 seats

All my friends are staunch atheists and so I would ask them to sign their souls over to me and they would, just like on The Simpsons.

A friend of mine can't piss if he knows anyone is in a 10 ft. radius. So I put a camera crew in his favorite bar's restroom.
The Pincus Building, also known as the Zadek Building, is a historic Queen Anne-style commercial building in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The four-story brick masonry structure was designed by Rudolph Benz and completed in 1891. It first housed the Zadek Jewelry Company. The original design included a round tower with a spire on the outside corner of the building; this was removed by the 1940s. Additionally, the architectural details of the first floor exterior have been simplified. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976.

Antebellum town mansion of W H Ketchum
Commandeered as headquarters of the Union Army by Gen. E R S Canby who occupied Mobile on april 12 1865. Since 1906 used as Catheral Rectory and home of Bishop of Mobile.
Originally built in 1860 as the Home of William Ketchum and family. At the time it was built it was one of the finest examples of the Italianate style in residential architecture in Mobile, Alabama. The mansion was unusual in that the main entrance was to the side of the home because the front boosted a large ornate ballroom that ran the with of the front of the house. Outside the home has a low-pitched hipped roof supported by ornate cast iron corbels on a paneled cornice. A angled bay window sat in the front of the home and was the middle part of the large grand ballroom. White stucco quoins on the ends of the outside walls of blonde slave made Mobile brick. The house is covered with ornate Rococo Revival cast iron verandas looking like frozen lace.

This guy let me get within 3 ft of him, so cool to be so close to this wonderful bird. He was in the shadows and the background was naturally overexposed which caused the natural white background. This was the highlight of my mid week sabbath time, such a delight

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi, Expedition 23 flight engineer, photographed the Mississippi Delta showing the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico on May 4, 2010. Part of the river delta and nearby Louisiana coast appear dark in the sunglint. This phenomenon is caused by sunlight reflecting off the water surface, in a mirror-like manner, directly back towards the astronaut observer onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The sunglint improves the identification of the oil spill which is creating a different water texture (and therefore a contrast) between the smooth and rougher water of the reflective ocean surface. Other features which cause a change in surface roughness that can be seen in sunglint are wind gusts, naturally occurring oils that will be gathered by and take the form of water currents or wave patterns, and less windy areas behind islands.
