VISIT: Remember TSG wherever you roam! My family and I booked a one night stay at The Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama. We used The Scout Guide Mobile Bay for recommendations on where to shop, eat and stay. That’s the beauty of The Scout Guide’s collection of city guides, local editors in 60 cities can lead you to the best experiences even when you have just 24 hours to spare.
