Bay City's Booming

In our June/July issue—on the newstands or in your home now—Mobile native Chip Drago takes a good long look at all the changes occurring (and about to occur) in that city by the bay in his excellent feature, “Bay City Boom: Mobile’s economy takes off while the rest of the country slows to a crawl.”

We hated to leave out any of his story, so we posted his extended sidebar that we just couldn’t fit in the feature. In “At What Price Progress?” Drago examines Mobile’s explosive growth and the danger it may pose to the area’s fragile ecosystem.
