The Bahamian dollar is kept at the same value as the U.S. dollar, making it easy to pay, as both are used interchangeably.

LOCAL CUISINE ISLAND TWIST AND TANG 

There's a lot of similarity between the soul food of the southern U.S., and Bahamian cuisine, that blends the Caribbean tang with its very own spice, creating a trademark flavor unique to the region.

FRUITS OF THE SEA

Little-known as a culinary ingredient in the continental U.S., conch is a large mollusk (akin to clams) with a meaty texture. Locals use it to prepare conch salad, conch fritters, conch chowder and more.

PEAS N' RICE

Pigeon peas are mixed with onions, tomatoes and spices, and incorporated into cooking rice. Often simply called Peas n' Rice, but there's a lot of savory flavors thrown in, like tomato paste, fresh thyme and salted pork or bacon.

CITRUS DELIGHT

Switcha, which many locals consider the official Bahamian drink, blends lemons and limes to concoct a powerful accompaniment to dessert or a refreshing beverage on a hot sunny day.

Bama Coast Cruise: Southern Alabama’s Premier Car Event

By:Thomas Schultz posted Tue, Apr 19, 2016 in specialinterest

Perched on the beautiful white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, Orange Beach, Alabama is a visually stunning and activity-filled destination, perfect for your next getaway. Settled by Americans in the mid-1800’s, Orange Beach first attracted new residents thanks to opportunities for farming, forestry and fishing. As the local forests disappeared, they were replaced by orange groves, hence the eventual naming of the city as Orange Beach.

The early 20th century was rough on the city. Factors such as stretches of subfreezing weather, blight amongst the orange groves, and a nation wide economic downturn changed the face of the city. The Intracoastal Waterway brought tourism, new businesses and residents to the area. In 1979, Hurricane Frederic cause major damage to the city and the region. As the rebuilding process began, people noticed the area for its great potential. Soon the rebuilding turned into new developments and tourists and new residents began to flock to the area. In fact, the city was quickly forced to incorporate in 1984 to deal with all the rapid growth.

Currently, Orange Beach has a population of over 5,700 people and is one of the top tourist destinations you’ll find on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Take a journey to one of the many local beaches feature cool white sand, glimmering aquamarine water, and loads of sunshine. Activities on the beach include sunbathing, fishing, sailing, boating, diving, snorkeling and so much more. Away from the beach you’ll encounter some great championship level golf courses, amusement parks, public parks and the list goes on. The culture and entertainment scene is vibrant and the museums, galleries, and entertainment venues give you a unique experience. To get the true feel of Orange Beach make sure to visit during one of the great local events like the Bama Coast Cruise.

Only entering its seventh year, the Bama Coast Cruise has already established a dedicated following. Expecting over 800 people this year, this event is perfect for families, singles, couples and anyone else that loves cars, cruising and good times. This car show is free to attend and is held at The Wharf, right in Orange Beach. Set against the beautiful background of the Intracoastal Waterway, you’ll find beautiful cars, opportunities to drive, live entertainment, great food and plenty of like minded people to meet. Whether you're a gearhead or not, the Bama Coast Cruise is a great event for you and your family.  Resortsandlodges.com got the oppotunity to speak to Adam Mclean, Executive Director of Motorsports Productions, Inc., to talk about this fun and entertaining event.

RAL: Tell me a little bit about the event.

AM: Bama Coast Cruise was started in 2010. We are proudly heading into our 7th Annual event. Each year we have grown and we're expecting to draw over 800 participants this year. We already have over 400 attendees pre-registered for this year's event. We are definitely a family friendly event. Most of our participants include couples and families with kids.

RAL: What makes this event unique?

AM: Two things separate our event from other cruisin’ events. The first is location. Bama Coast Cruise is held at The Wharf in Orange Beach. During the weekend of our show, Main Street is closed to the public and only our show cars are allowed to park there. Our participants have shopping and dining at their fingertips all weekend long while they enjoy the show! There is still plenty of public parking in the free parking decks right off of Main Street.

The Bama Coast Cruise also features Reserved Parking on Main Street. Those who pre-register for a space on Main Street get to select their space for the weekend. The space is held for them with a pre-placed commemorative sign that has their name and car on it. They can leave the grounds, cruise around Orange Beach and return to the show without worrying about losing their spot or having to try and find an open spot next to friends. For participants who do not choose Reserved Parking, there is still plenty of Open Show Car Parking at The Wharf, just like at any other cruisin’ event.

RAL: Take me through what people will find a the event for activities, guest appearances, food and environment.

AM: There are door prizes given out every hour and cash giveaways for participants, live music, nightly parties (family friendly), a poker run on Friday, and a Parade Cruise lead by Orange Beach Police on Saturday. There are awards for the cars that shine above the rest and we also have our Grand Prize Giveaway!

Our special guest this year is Von Hot Rod, internationally known West Coast Pinstriper and "Master of the Fine Line".

Dining ranges from casual to gourmet, right in the heart of the show at The Wharf. You'll  also find a wide assortment of restaurants close by throughout Orange Beach.

The environment is very laid back and always friendly. Beautiful cars are on display as far as the eye can see, and every night The Wharf puts on a laser light show set to music on Main Street.

RAL: What can attendees expect to find for local lodging?

AM: There is lodging right in the middle of our show at Levin's Bend Condominiums at The Wharf. We also partner with several local hotels to get great rates for our participants and attendees. Our guests have been flocking to Levin's Bend at The Wharf every year since we started the show. So many, in fact, that it fills up quickly. Luckily, a new Marriott Spring Hill Suites hotel is being built on The Wharf's property and is set to open in May of 2016! These hotels and other local hotels can be found on our website .

While lodging at The Wharf hits maximum occupancy quickly, the City of Orange Beach does not! Orange Beach is a destination city and they are set up to handle the lodging requirements of large crowds. There are several beautiful beachfront hotels throughout the city, all of which are just minutes away from our event.

RAL: What does the event mean to the community?

AM: Our event adds a huge boost, not only to The Wharf, but to all of Orange Beach during a time that was typically a slow weekend before the summer rush. We are very fortunate to work with such a great city that appreciates our event and has worked hard to help us grow. We have also worked with the Christian Service Center in Orange Beach.

RAL: Why should people come?

AM: People should come to Bama Coast Cruise for the atmosphere, the beauty of the show and the city, and for the people. Even if you don't know anyone when you arrive, you will leave with dozens of new friends and great memories of a relaxing, fun filled time.

PETA calls for fake fish to be used in Flora-Bama Mullet Toss

P ERDIDO KEY, Fla. ( WKRG ) — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a request for The Flora-Bama Lounge, Package, & Oyster Bar on Monday: to change its Mullet Toss tradition.

In the letter, PETA requested the Flora-Bama replace the dead fish typically tossed across the state line with realistic, reusable rubber fish.

PETA said it would even donate the rubber fish.

“The group is also offering to cater the event with tasty vegan fish sandwiches that spare animals a violent death and don’t come with the mercury, iodine, sewage, and other contaminants that real fish contain,” a release from PETA said.

The letter was sent just days before the event with the Mullet Toss scheduled to start Friday and roll through the weekend.

“Every fish whose body is treated like a hacky sack at this event was once an individual who had a life precious to them, swam free, had feelings, and didn’t want to die,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said. “PETA wants to help modernize the moment with fabulous fake fish that no one had to die for.”

Here is the full PETA letter to The Flora-Bama owner John McInnis III:

April 22, 2024 John McInnis III Co-Owner The Flora-Bama Lounge, Package, & Oyster Bar Dear Mr. McInnis: I’m writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals—PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally, including hundreds of thousands across Florida and Alabama—with a  fin tastic idea to modernize the Flora-Bama Mullet Toss: We would never be so frank as to suggest that only a lout throws a trout or only a sod throws a cod … but, well, there is, as you know, a certain yahoo stigma attached to this event, something we can  cure . What if you make it all-inclusive—yup, even welcome vegans to enjoy the moment—by using fancy rubber fish instead of smelly, decomposing real ones? If you agree, we’ll donate reusable fake fish for you to hand out and cast a tray of tasty vegan fish sandwiches your way for you to sell or give to participants. It’s no  toss- up: Whether some people like to think about it or not, fish—like you, me, and all other animals—have distinct personalities and experience fear, pain, and affection. Studies show that fish can recognize themselves in mirrors and photographs, are self-aware, and communicate with each other using complex sounds. Let’s face it: Every fish thrown by a Flora-Bama Mullet Toss participant was an individual who suffered greatly and was violently slaughtered before being used in this disrespectful way. Carnival cruise ship out of Tampa saves nearly 30 people stranded at sea We’re not here to con fish cate the fun: Throwing a rubber or plastic fish, rather than a dead one, would be as fun, challenging, and enjoyable but also positive. A first-ever fish-friendly fling could even  lure  our mascot Freeda Fish to  line  up to get in on the act. Will you please mull et  over? Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to your response. Very truly yours, Ingrid Newkirk President PETA President Ingrid Newkirk

This is a developing story, and News 5 will update it with any comments from McInnis.

For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to WFLA.

Subscriber only, high school sports | former st. thomas aquinas star dallas turner picked in nfl draft’s first round.

High expectations are nothing new for Dallas Turner , and he has consistently met them.

Turner went from a top local player while breaking out as a high school star at American Heritage to a rising prospect who signed with Alabama to an All-American with the Crimson Tide. Now the star linebacker is a top NFL draft pick.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Turner with the 17th pick in the draft on Thursday, making him the highest draft pick out of Broward County since Patrick Surtain II went ninth overall in 2021.

Turner broke out as a junior, racking up 15 sacks for American Heritage in 2019. For his efforts with the Patriots, he was named the South Florida Sun Sentinel small schools Defensive Player of the Year. After the season, he transferred to Fort Lauderdale powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas, where he worked under defensive coordinator and current Miami Hurricanes defensive line coach Jason Taylor.

The results, unsurprisingly, were excellent. He notched 74 tackles,18 tackles for loss and 15 sacks in 12 games and was named the Sentinel’s large schools Defensive Player of the Year. 

“Prior to Dallas’ arrival at St. Thomas Aquinas, we knew he was an extraordinary talent,” Raiders coach Roger Harriott said when Turner was still in high school. “But what was more evident as we got to know him is he’s a competitor with an outstanding work ethic with a desire to be his brother’s keeper on and off the field.”

Turner’s dominant high school performance helped him improve his recruiting rankings. He was listed as low as No. 257 in the nation in 247Sports’ composite rankings. By the end of his high school career, he was a five-star prospect and the No. 9 player in the class.

After signing with Alabama, Turner did not have to wait long to get on the field. He played in 15 games (including three starts) as a freshman, making 30 tackles with 8.5 sacks. He was named a Freshman All-American.

Turner became a starter as a sophomore and had a solid season, but he really became a dominant force as a junior. In 2023, Turner had 53 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. He was named an All-American and propelled himself to being a top pick in the draft.
