These two shores aren't linked well enough. That needs to change.
Sounds great, but you can't do much.

A ferry is "cool" I guess, but doesnt bring much change - as far as numbers go. People complain about the Bayway and the traffic, but the truth is you can get from Baldwin to Mobile (stress free) almost all of the time.

Also, I wonder if the people that made that map in Southsky's post have ever been in the bay. The water south of the Fish River Reef is extremely shallow, around 4-6 feet.
