What is the most controversial thing in Northport, Alabama, at the moment?

 

You know exactly what brings the most debate, name-calling, and general ugliness, like the project to bring Destin, Gulf Shores, Daytona, and Panama City Beach to Northport out near the Big Lots!

THE. UNIVERSITY. BEACH. PROJECT.

The website, universitybeach.com, looks very good and might even entice folks from out of town to come vacation in Northport.

Hey kids, where do you want to go for vacation this year?

Orlando? Yellowstone National Park? New Orleans, with all those incredible restaurants?

How about Hawaii? The Outer Banks! Netflix even did a show about the OBX. OK, wait, did one of you say Northport, Alabama?

This Northport University Beach deal may face more opposition if the current candidate, yes we only have one, wins the upcoming election.

The only candidate so far for Mayor of Northport, Dale Phillips, joined the 95.3 The Bear Steve & DC Morning Show.

Phillips, formerly with the Violent Crimes Unit, said he is not in favor of the controversial Northport Beach project.

If elected, Phillips promised transparency and working aggressively to grow and prosper Northport.

He also promised regular visits to the Steve & DC Morning Show.
