[edit] Recreation

If anyone has additional info on the parks and recreations section please jump in. I got it started. Probably need a cultural section too. If I don't get it soon, maybe you guys can start it. JBEvans 01:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

For Daphne, Fairhope and Spanish Fort, would it not be wise to notate in a cultural section that they all celebrate Mardi Gras? --Mnemnoch 17:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Bay Minette as County Seat

I thought that the original story was that the records were stored in Daphne and stolen. During the process, they were taken to Bay Minette. I need to drive up to the historic Methodist Church near Bayside and check the signage as I believe this is a fact. --Mnemnoch 17:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you are correct, at least that's what I have heard. In those days, the county seat was wherever the records were. I think the legislature later validated the location of the county seat but the theft is also the story I have heard. We should be able to verify it somewhere.

This is listed on http://www.daphneal.com/history.asp and I've edited the article accordingly until I can find further research on it.--Mnemnoch 00:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commuter town

I fail to see how Daphne is a commuter town as it has no public carpooling services, major public transportation, or likewise. Even though US Highway 98 meets I-10 and goes through Daphne, this doesn't mean that it's a thoroughfare for a "bedroom town". Much like other cities around it, Daphne has supported other cities around it throughout the 19th Century and have all been cities have been independently successful. --Mnemnoch 04:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
