What is Flora-Bama, you say? Well, everyone kept telling us that we just had to go see it. It gets it's name from the fact that it is on the beach at the border of Florida and Alabama. It appears as though someone collected a whole bunch of scrap materials which were strewn about during a hurricane years ago and built a bar out of it. Then after all the other hurricanes, they would collect more material each time and add on. We drove right by it and had to stop at a gas station to ask where it was. We were told that it was "down the road behind the trailer selling T-shirts,and that it looked like a construction site". These above pictures are of the outside. The one with the porta-john is when we were looking for a way in. The door said "exit" but we entered anyway. The other picture is of the entrance which we found later on our way out. The beer was cold and the Royal Red shrimp were great. It's something that everyone visiting the area need to see. I can't believe that the city allows it to stay open. The roof over the dance floor was PVC pipes taped together with a large tarp covering them. On a rope above the dance floor hung a bunch of bras and bikini tops. If you ever get there, look for Deb's. We were there on Valentines day so she was wearing a sexy little red one. The place sits right on the beach between some huge, beautiful condominiums.
Our Visit to the USS Alabama was on another earlier treck. It is actually the first tourist site that we visited. I don't know how the sailors got around that ship without getting lost. Along with it is a submarine and a hanger full of aircraft.
