Almost 300 years ago the French explorers who founded the original city of Mobile moved the settlement from the banks of the Mobile River downstream to the mouth of Mobile Bay. Downtown has been growing and changing ever since! From historic walking tours to exciting museum and gallery exhibitions, to a lively nightlife, Downtown is the dynamic center of activity for the entire region.

The LoDa Dining and Shopping Guide is a comprehensive booklet listing nearly everything to see and do in downtown Mobile. If you would like copies of the Guide for your business or would like information on advertising in the guide, please contact Carol Hunter.
