Census shows high number of minorities in Seaside

Walton County is not known as a place of great ethnic diversity. In fact, government statistics indicate that the county is 89.7% Caucasian. The beaches of south Walton come under even greater scrutiny as most observers note the lack of any racial minorities.

So it came as a great shock to census takers when the town of Seaside reported a ?non-white? population of 41.2%.

?We looked at the data and thought that this just can?t be right?, said Randy Baker of CensusUSA, a company hired by the state to survey population trends within Florida.

It turns out that Seaside was counting the overly sun burnt Pink tourists as ?non-white?.

?It?s fitting, actually. I mean in a town known for its pastel colored houses, why not have pastel colored minorities??, said Baker.

No Seaside representatives were available for comment on this issue. However, town leaders confirm that plans are underway to modify Seaside?s strict town code to allow for the creation of a New Urbanism Ghetto, which will be characterized by colorful crack houses and a Frank Gehry designed junkyard.

I've seen some pale green peoples there after the wine festivals. :lol:

HA!!!

I love you guys!

TOO FUNNY.

Submittals can be sent to editor@seasidefl.com. I'd love to use some of your photographs Kurt.

My personal site is www.susanvallee.com. I've been updating it, but now that I have pressure from the sowal guru I will get it finished.

sigh ... still laughing ...

Susan: I live in Louisiana, but I'm familiar with the Seaside Times. How can I receive a copy of the newspaper and get on the distribution list?

I'll be subscribing too. I used to long, long ago.
Good luck to you.

Hey Steeleing1,

How about sending a picture of that cutie-patootey to the paper?

Susan, congratulations on the new role, and best wishes for continued success. Oh, and thanks for mentioning Fired Up TWICE in your first issue! :clap_1:

Stop in and see us soon, and we'll show you all the fun new pottery and Christmas ornaments now in stock.

Thanks, Susan! I just mailed my check for the subscription.

here are a few questions regarding the Seaside Times:

Can people subscribe to an online version of the Seaside Times, as they can with the Walton Sun? I'd subscribe to the Seaside Times even though our places aren't at Seaside if it felt more like a paper that covered all of 30A.

Personally, I like stories about the history of South Walton, as well as how it's changing over the years. Recipes from local restaurants or well known locals would be funn too (e.g. the grits with quail at Cafe 30A, something from Modica Market, something from the Great Southern).

I want the Smoked Tuna dip recipe from Cocoons!!!!:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Hmmm .... smoked tuna dip ... put it in my belly!

Thanks for the suggestions Paula! I'll see if I can't get a few recipes to put in the December issue. If you have one you'd like to share - maybe that can help us kick it off?

There is no online version of the paper. We may look at doing that in 2007, but I can't make any promises.

Thanks again!

Hey Steeleing1,

Will do!

As the new editor for The Seaside Times, I invite everyone to pick up a copy and let me know what they think.

I'm in need of contributing writers, photos, essays, poems, song lyrics, etc. Basically anything that falls out of your head that you would want published.

We'll be taking the paper through a re-design, so hopefully during the next three issues you will continue to see changes.

It is distributed throughout Seaside, and up and down CR30A.

Thank you!
Susan Vallee
