If you want to catch a last meal there, now is the time.

There is a fancier place that will be opening there in the Spring. I hear they will do some remodeling right away. I wish they would keep it rustic and maybe just clean it up a bit. The old house charm was the best thing about the place.

The comment that the Shades establishment was "not the desired path for the future" speaks volumes. :roll:

Now maybe the "newer" residents of the area who didn't quite understand why the "older" residents of the area cringed when the likes of WaterColor moved in will finally "get it."

We were there for the Last Lunch. They were out of all fish, but who cared - we wanted to be there one last time, regardless of what food was left. I cried. Yes, I have my bottle of sweet pepper viniagrette.

Thanks for the memories, Shades (I.E., *THE* ORIGINAL LOCATION)!

Here's the farewell letter.

Thanks so much for letting us all read this letter. :(

BR- So glad you got the viniagrette!! Enjoy!

Now who will fix us a big platter of hot wings to go that we can pick up so conveniently?

Publix has wings. Sometimes I order them fresh when I have a little shopping to do so they're ready when I check out. Best to order them dry and extra crispy and make your own sauce.

MoJoe's in Sandestin has excellent wingage if you are over that way.

Sounds like some good alternatives. Thanks for the suggestions!

"Wingage". I like that word.

Ahhh, I think I'm beginning to understand your "attitude," Shelly. ;-)

I would like to have that recipe too. I wrote to Taco Mac one time but got no response at all. One of the waiters told me to try Apple cider vinegar, sugar, & pepper with oil. I tried it one time but did not get the proportions right and need to try again. But if someone knows the exact amounts ...

Sorry, Shelly, can't let this one stand. As a "newer" resident of the area (Watercolor), we greatly appreciate the character and flavor of the past and the traditions of Seaside/SoWal and surrounds. Most of the peaople I've met in the past two years here feel the same. So don't get uppity with "the likes" of us that have the same desires and dreams as the "older" residents.

Change is inevitable, if not always desirable or painless. It is your own SCDC that is making the changes to Seaside, not the folks at St. Joe.

Happy New Year! :cool:

MoJoe's is WAY excellent. Try their Lemon Pepper wings. 😀
