    Why we love SoWal

    There is much change in this beloved area, this is true, but there is much to love about SoWal, if you only take the time to look past the development....Look at all of Kurt's photos, SJ's photos and many of the people who visit there every year have photo albums with amazing pics and wonderful family times. If you want to know why we love SoWal......

    Thanks JR...I am sick of all the whining about how horrible everything has gotten...there is so much to love about this area if you only allow yourself to look for it. I love this beach and no matter what develops in the future, it will still be a place with wonderful people, spactacular views, amazing music, great art and funn places to enjoy yourself...and not to forget the main attraction the BEACH!

    I couldn't agree more, very nicely written.

    Way to go, Allifunn! -- but stop telling people about the other funn areas. Let's just let them think that there is nothing more to do here, other than the beach.

    All the pix are great! Especially after getting 3 inches of new snow over night.
    (skeered - - it's not a complaint! It's actually beautiful - - but everone wants it to end.)

    Thanks Allifunn for the positive thread!

    No one misses the days more than I do when you could drive from Blue Mountain to Seagrove and see maybe three cars along the way. Or when you could go to the Red Bar at 8 p.m. on a Saturday, walk in and immediately get a table. Things change.

    But.....now that I have a child, there are certain benefits to all the development. Not to mention you can still see plenty of the way it used to be if you know where to look.

    JB, you've hit the nail on the head. There ARE still plenty of places in SoWal that hardly anyone explores; it's just a matter of taking the time to ferret them out. My husband and I have lots of quiet time in SoWal. Of course, one of the best things we like about SoWal is the when we want to be over-stimulated, we know where to find that, too.

    JR - ain't it the truth? I swear I can't take anymore snow - lovely or not. Thanks for the inspiration Allifunn - I needed that!
