“I’m surprised at Mobile, Alabama. Woo hoo, I’m surprised!” said Bobbie Barker, an Orlando native.
“We had an editor from USA Today that came to our amazing destination and was so impressed that she decided to have Mobile as one of the nominees for this prestigous on her own,” said Patty Kieffer, Senior Vice President of Visit Mobile.“We were blown away, but we know that Mobile is such an amazing destination. We’re just so glad that it’s out nationwide and there’s so many other smaller destinations that are also getting some recognition about the uniqueness of their destination.
It’s not quite summertime, but tourists are already strolling in Downtown Mobile, like the Horvath family from Washington state. “I think it’s cool. I mean a small little town like this, being ranked number two. That’s great and it’s friendly,” said Kay Horvath.“There’s crime everywhere,” she said. “It’s everywhere- you can’t put ‘Mobile, Alabama has a lot of crime.’ It’s in Orlando, it’s everywhere. The problem is we all need to get along, combine together and stop all this crime. Mobile is great. I don’t care how you see it, I love it.
The poll puts Mobile right behind Mackinac Island, Mich. and ahead of other places like Chicago, Ill.
