Mobile, AL – Local business owners credit downtown Mobile's Moon Pie Drop with giving them a holiday boost.
Music and entertainment in the downtown precede the dropping of the oversized Moon Pie from the northeast corner of the RSA BankTrust Building in time for the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.
Mobile Area Lodging Association President Kent Blackinton said downtown hotels have been busy booking rooms during what is usually a slow season. He told The Mobile Press-Register that the Battle House Mobile Renaissance Hotel & Spa, The Malaga Inn and the Hampton Inn are booked solid. Other hotels are getting close.
