“When Mobile’s Saenger Theatre opened on January 19, 1927, it was the sixty-first Saenger theatre of a chain founded by J.H. and A.D. Saenger of New Orleans. There were Saenger Theatres located throughout the South as well as in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Hailed as, “Alabama’s Greatest Showplace” and, “the most beautiful playhouse in all of Dixie,” the Mobile Saenger Theatre took a year to construct at a cost of about 500,000 dollars. Designed by renowned architect, Emile Weil …”
“The Saenger Theatre of Mobile now functions as a performing arts center and is the official home of the Mobile Symphony Orchestra. The Saenger features an annual Summer Movie Series and presents numerous concerts, lectures and special events. The Saenger Theatre is a historic landmark, dear to the hearts of Mobilians for its architectural grandeur and ties to our cultural history as well as for the extraordinary caliber of entertainment it offers our community today.”

As of today, 3rd February 2010, the refinance rates are, as follows: (1) 30 yr Fixed Rate, Today, 5.19%, Last Week, 4.94%; (2) 15 yr Fixed Rate, Today, 4.4%, Last Week, 5.06%; (3) 5/1 ARM, Today, 4.53%, Last Week, 4.12%.
According to an article in Mortgage News Daily, “A rising trend of mortgage applications indicates an increase in home buying interest, a positive for the housing industry and economy as a whole. More home purchases can lead to more construction jobs and increased purchases of items to build a home. Furthermore, in a low mortgage rate environment, an increasing trend implies consumers are seeking out lower monthly payments which can result in increased disposable income and therefore more money to spend on discretionary items or to pay down other debt.”
The article further states, “Don’t wait for mortgage rates to decline! I stand by my statement that 4.75% could very well be the lowest mortgage rates offered in 2010…unless there is a fundamental shift in economic outlook. If you have been waiting to refinance or to buy, get out there and start the process before you miss the boat of sub 5% rates.”

The city of Mobile was founded in 1702 and, the Mobile Bay area was explored by the Spanish as early as 1519. Mobile is a city older than New Orleans and has many historic districts which rival those found in Charleston or Savannah. The city of Mobile was settled by the French and, eventually, under rule by the Confederate, English and Spanish through its history. The downtown architecture and the names of streets reflect the past influences from each country who ruled this Mobile Bay Area. Now, downtown Mobile reflects a new attraction and lifestyle for new businesses and people wanting to work and live.

The city of Mobile and the other communities within the Mobile Bay Metro Area (Baldwin County, Mobile County, Alabama) have the opportunity to capture many more economic projects if, as area businesses and residents, we continue to stand together “as one!”
We must all participate in the promotion of our area, whether it’s in a small way or a big way. You can contribute with only a smile to a weary traveler visiting our area (they might be moving here or relocating their business) or keeping the trash picked up around your home. Landscaping, mowing the lawn, or volunteering to assist with your educational talents are certainly other ways to place your positive mark upon our metropolitan bay area.
Also, even more small and large businesses should consider banding together, promoting our area through worthwhile local civic, economic and marketing projects. It is through these ongoing positive efforts and promotional projects which will continue to keep us progressive, in contention for even more economic opportunities and, certainly, noticed by outsiders looking in. These outsiders just might want to jump right in with us, so they can also experience the economic flurry of opportunities. Our local assets and opportunities to compete surround each of us every day. So open your eyes widely, see the possibilities and potential, and the next time you look into a mirror, realize that you are looking at one of our greatest assets!
It could be raining economic projects’ money in the Mobile Bay Metro Area, so here are some recent newsworthy articles (links below) for your reading. “Let these articles stoke your embers of creativity and professionalism, and turn them into your flames of positive ideas and possibilities!” – AMC

http://www.mobilealabamafharealestateappraisers.com – FHA Guidelines: Proposal Would Increase Downpayment, end Financing of Closing Costs

FHA Loan Pros is making more sense out of the FHA situation, read here.
Here’s a snippet:
“In a move intended to reduce taxpayers’ exposure to losses associated with defaulted FHA loans, legislation is being proposed that would tighten FHA loan requirements:
The minimum down payment would increase from 3.5% to 5% of the loan amount.
Closing costs would no longer be permitted to be “rolled into” the loan amount.
This would mean that potential homebuyers would need to have more cash available for coverin these costs. The principle concern behind these proposed changes is that lenient lending requirements can encourage people to take out home loans they;re not prepared to pay over the long term.
Demise of “Sub-Prime” Lending Increases FHA Market Share”
