Good neighbors are priceless. For folks in Mississippi and Louisiana who evacuated ahead of Hurricane Gustav, good neighbors could be found throughout Alabama. Shelters were set up and staffed, and aid and comfort was available. Neighborly attitudes are sure to continue as people are beginning to return home. Those who pass through the Alabama Gulf Coast area on their way back home will be welcomed with the customary hospitality and generosity. This is what makes Alabama the “Heart of Dixie.” Those who find themselves in need of accommodations, meals or a diversion from the serious nature of the weekend can check out www.thebeachiscalling.org to find rooms, restaurants and ways to take their minds off their troubles.
