Raised in Lake Tahoe California I was stationed at Fort Mcclean Alabama. I remember my first trip into the local town off base I was a bit freaked out. People would come up out of the blue and just start a conversation. I got invited to 2 different family's homes for dinner. Yes, I was in Uniform, but I have never been treated so nice by people ever in my life. Also, I stopped at a rundown looking breakfast place a mom-and-POP business. Best breakfast i have ever had. The wife kept coming out adding more hash browns and gravy saying I was a growing boy and needed a full breakfast.

I just want to take a moment to thank @PeterSantenello for taking time to visit the Fairhope Alabama area. Like us all, it’s easy to talk about where we are from, but Peter takes it as personal as we would like, and it is appreciated. Thank all of you for taking time out of your day to explore a place I’m obviously fond of. All of you rock!!!

I’m a northern European but I used to live in Georgia for a while. This video made me homesick for the south, good people and beautiful nature ❤

Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Fairhope is a hidden gem. Alabama the Beautiful is not just on the sign when you enter the state for no reason. Alabama is renowned for its outdoor scenery.

I live in Europe, Norway. Youre videos are nothing like the stuff we read in the newspaper or watch on the news. This is the honest truth, thank you Peter for showing us the real America outside the media. Thank you, cheers

"You don't let somebody tell you about a place, you go and find out about it" Yes! Amen to that!!!

Can we just appreciate how smooth this dude is 😂

I honestly loved this episode. As a New Englander, this really shattered my toxic conception of the Gulf South overall. And I honestly teared up when the mom mentioned accepting and loving her son just the way he is.

Thank you for showing viewers outside the United States with each new video that there are "normal" people living in the US and not just the "weird" people shown to us in the media.

True story..
My parents bought a lake house in northeastern Alabama. On the first day they stayed there a close neighbor down the street came over and introduced himself and told my parents if they ever needed a ride that they could take his. Car doors are always unlocked and keys are in the ignition. 😂. Also, neighbors would bring us fresh fruit, fish, etc. neighbors would randomly mow our lawn on occasions if we haven't been to the property in awhile. Another neighbor had a key to the house to check up on it when we were gone, etc.

I immigrated in Gulf shores, Al from Eastern Europe in 2010 was 22 yo, and i m grateful I started my new life in Alabama.

That house being built at 2:50 is in my family. I'm 30, my mother is in her 60s, my grandfather is in his 80s. My great grandparents bought that property when Fairhope wasn't discovered. It used to be a tiny little home with two bedrooms. Finally, my grandfather decided to redo the place, as our family is growing. Turns out, and I had local tell me this in that Grand Hotel Bar, that my family has a lot more history there than most. However, I guess we are just are just the wealthy people from out of state. All that said, Fairhope is beautiful. I hope you enjoyed your time down there.

Can we just take a second to appreciate the sheer quantity of exquisite and beauteous TREES?!

I'm from Chicago area and made my first trip to Alabama about 15 years ago. I tell a lot of people about how beautiful it is, unfortunately most of the time it just goes in one ear and out the other, need to go there for yourself and experience it. It's the people that make or break a place.

Roll TIDE!

Alabama is hugely diverse! From the mountains and rivers to the north, to the farmland blackbelt, to the gorgeous coast. There’s about a 5-10 degree difference due to elevation difference. The whole state has unparalleled beauty with people so nice, it will throw you off for a minute. Born raised and a permanent resident for 53 years now

Peter I absolutely adore these videos. This beautiful woman in her beautiful home at the end of this one almost brought me to tears talking about her son, her beliefs and her worldview. Thank you for showing the way folks really, truly are.

Wow! This video blew me away. The quality of life that these residents have. Not so much in terms of the expensive houses but the weather, the community spirit, the friendliness and the beautiful bay. Just wow. I would love to visit one day.
