Minnie, most of us who dislike the signs can appreciate the benefits which tourists bring to this area. That is not an issue with the signs. The TDC stated one reason for the signs was to bring the many beach communities together as one. They have not done that and cannot do that, just by erecting matching signs. Communities are made of people, and the private communities which have recently been trying to become even more private, are not buying into the concept of ONE single Beaches of South Walton Community. There are plenty of free maps available all over, including in the free phone books available at Publix. Also, many tourists have often asked me for directions. Had one today who was driving through Grayton, "Where is the Red Barn?" I think they would have figured it out by driving a couple hundred more yards, but I gladly obliged with an answer. I have no problem with having some tasteful signs to designate known areas, but to have one for each development, might be stretching it. Other than the small block lettering on the directional signs, the actual signs don't bother me. The massive poles on bolted to the connecting anchor posts, doesn't look good at all, and the color of the posts is hideous for those scattered along most of the 30A signs. I think the color does go well with the TDC building, but the TDC buildings are not beside each of these roadside signs. For the signs at the beaches, such as the one on the beach at Grayton, I think the color looks good, because of the complimentary colors surrounding it. Again, the actual sign (not the posts), is an attractive dark blue, and a warmer sandy tone for the posts would look much better, and would compliment the colors of the actual signs.
