Blind Tiger restaurant not pleased with hedge maze in pier parking lot.
The Blind Tiger restaurant, located on the pier in downtown Fairhope is not pleased with the City accidentally erecting a large hedge maze directly over the former parking area. The owner states the maze is only hindering potential customers who are already put off by the construction and lack of parking, and says business has been dropping steadily since. The Council voting to install the real Voldemort within the maze, who forces you into a magic wand duel to pass onto the pier can also be harmful to the Tiger's business prospects. TBT is asking for monetary compensation for the harm to the restaurant, and the City is at the moment only offering a Harry Potter like figure to help customers battle the Voldemort.

Fairhope woman honored with Medal of Valor for thinking about going to Mobile one time.
(Point Clear, Al)- A ceremony is to be held on Saturday at the Fairhope Civic Center honoring a young Point Clear resident Ashleigh Clark, who in a group text with several of her friends last week recommended a restaurant in downtown Mobile for a friend's dinner night. After a few minutes with no response, she replied "lol" to herself then suggested Kingfisher instead. Her bravery did not go unnoticed though. Word spread about her courageous text through the Point Clear community, and soon she was shortlisted for the new series of awards for valor and bravery for Fairhope residents called "Heroes of Fairhope". This week Clark was awarded the Medal of Valor unanimously by the panel of jurors made up of 10 citizens who get an adrenaline rush watching WPSD 6 o'clock news.

Julialake's upcoming "Clubhouse" event to feature sewing workshop, local wine, and Necromancy.
At the May edition of Julialake's Clubhouse event, you can expect a crash course on sewing, a smart assortment of Hors d'oeuvres by Hope Farm, Style tips from Elizabeth Damrich, a wine tasting by Southern Grove Winery, and of course a ceremonial summoning of an army of the undead. Yes, the highlight of the night will have the women and Leroy, among the candlelit decor, chant sacred spells to bring hostile spirits in limbo to a fleshy state, and at some point after all take part in a painting workshop where people and zombies pair up and paint portrait of each other like the viral Tik Tok trend.
The event is already nearing capacity as many are hoping to summon a local celebrity or Fairhope founder. Who will arrive? Thomas Greeno? Marietta Johnson? Archibald Oneeightyone? We can't know for sure but some locals are already complaining about the surge in population that is set to occur after this. The issue of housing for the zombies has been brought up at a recent City Council meeting and right now the only viable option is the Mosher Castle and surrounding Air BnBs, which not only solves the problem but could even add some mystique to the vacation rentals.

Crowd always outside of Tamara's found to not actually be eating, just trying to look really cool.
The hottest social club in Downtown Fairhope isn't The Monkey Bar or even playing Mahjong at Provision for high stakes (Husbands or Handbags), it's standing outside of Tamara's downtown looking cool. The trendiest couples are spending their free time standing outside of the restaurant looking mildly agitated in their nicest outfits for a while, then going home to eat instant Ramen and binge Netflix. It has started to become quite a thing in Fairhope. People are even bringing chess boards although they are really playing checkers just using the chess pieces. It's easier this way but people still think you're smart. Tamara's is planning to cash in on this new trend by providing tables, drinks, and food to the loiterers for a fee.
