So you were one of the crabby old "get off of my lawn" types that whined about Widespread Panic getting booked at the Wharf last year?

I have no problem with the event. What I and other have problems with are people cheating the system and the city not being prepared.

There are occupancy limits for a reason.

Hangout Fest produces revenue for the owner of Hangout/Gulf and provides an early start to summer for rentals. But as far as revenue for the town(shopping and restaurants) its severely lacking.

They pack people into condos and dont eat out.

At least HF with the city cleans up afterwards

hypocritical complaining from the Orange Beach mayor. Any mayor of a tourist town who is openly critical of the Hangout Festival

He is jealous. plain and simple. I do find it hilarious at the two cities different statements on similar events throughout the year.

A friend partnered with Bob Marley's family to bring and start a new restaurant chain. It was going to have a reggae band playing all the time. Both OB and GS didnt want that type of crowd and music, but they have no problem with Flora bama, Hangout, and live bait.
