Not skin color, religion, or where you were born.

What these people did for Mr. Hicks enriched the lives of all who were part of it, regardless of any out-of-pocket expenses.

I love the feel of onions in the morning.

I'm not much of a gambler. If I lose money, it no way motivates me to keep playing a game.

But going to Vegas was more than just playing a game you are going to lose. It was the crowds, the friendly staff, the people who cared how you were doing. Don't get me wrong not everyone cared. There were plenty of sore losers and surly waiters but overall, the caring nice people out weighed the grumpy, ignorant snobs.

Not anymore. Man I hate the place now. It feels too posh for me. It has been gentrified. And the prices, the hidden fees the gloomy looking players are all too uncaring to even notice you unless you are the only one in the place .. which happened several times. The crowds are gone and Los Vegas feels like a fancy outdoor mall now.

The Shrimp Basket reminds me of Vegas when it was fun.

I lived in Mobile for a year and we went to Pensacola all the time. (It was more fun to hang out there than in Mobile, at the time.)

Admittedly, this was almost forty years ago, but the area is just not like the rest of the state.

(This was true to a lesser extent along the western tip of the panhandle. But again, this was forty years ago.)

... Thanks for this, and hats off to Mr. Stallworth and the wonderful people of the Shrimp Basket!

This is what our country is all about. Most Americans are good, caring people.Thank you so much for posting this story. I needed it this morning.

There are still loving, caring, decent people left in this world.

Boy, do I need stories like this, especially during these dark days. It serves to remind me that all is not completely lost.

Thank you, progree, for posting this.

Got a little tear in my eye.

i miss having a country and leader with humanity so it’s nice to remind me we still do have some humanity in this country !

Chef's kiss!

A nice reminder there is still good in this country 👍

90 seconds of human interest stories that are heart warming, inspiring or just beautiful.
