Now I can see how they were going for a gimmick marketing play here but they missed some elements. The restaurants and businesses here offer nothing French I saw and nothing that resembles New Orleans French Quarter. Panani Pete's offers Italian Panani sandwiches so this seems more like the Italian Quarter. Now parts of the New Orleans French Quarter were known as Little Italy or Little Palermo during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries as so many Sicilian immigrants lived in the French Quarter so maybe the theme is back to that era? The HUGE missing elements here are that they have no ability to allow you to carry your booze about everywhere like properly civilized humans should and they force closing times without any 24/7 establishments serving libations as a joy focused culture should. So I just don't get any sort of French Quarter vibe or joie de vivre required for a place to claim French Quarter status. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Cobblestone streets, music being piped through outdoor speakers, water fountains, flowers…read moreeverywhere and adorable little shops? Are you somewhere in heaven? Yes, pretty much. Welcome to Fairhope's French Quarter. Ahh, this little slice of heaven is in the middle of the beautiful little town of Fairhope. Getting to it is just as nice as being there. It's a pretty drive up and down hilly tree lined streets where duck and geese crossings aren't uncommon. Parking was a little challenging since I wasn't familiar with the area (yet, trust me I came here multiple times on my visit, so I learned quickly) but once I found it, it was a breeze and there are plenty of places to park for free. Once you're inside there so much to see and do, not unlike the New Orleans FQ but on a much smaller and less smelly scale. Cute little shops with clothing, books, restaurants, novelties and art. It's totally worth a visit or twenty and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. I know I'll be back!

I had the best experience at Eastern Shore Eye Care on Lollie Lane in Fairhope!…read more Sarah at the desk greeted me with the most cheerful smile--she's genuinely the happiest receptionist I've ever met and couldn't have been more helpful. Simone, the technician, walked me through a ton of tests, stayed low-key, patient, and totally put me at ease. Then Dr Lindsey answered every single question, super cool and hip, understood me perfectly--fun yet brilliant. Jenni in the boutique hooked me up with these gorgeous Chloe frames I've wanted forever... splurged even though they don't take my insurance. Worth every penny. I cannot wait to pick them up when they are ready! Andrea at checkout made it all seamless. Hands down, best eye care on the Eastern Shore and Absolutely the BEST selection of designer glasses and sunnies around! Gucci, Tom Ford, YSL, Tiffany, CHLOE, Prada, Versace, and other brands like Coach, Kate Spade, Michal Kors, Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Oakley, etc etc.
