As a full-time South Walton resident, I would love to see Chick-Fil-A on 98! While we do have some fast food places on the western portion of SoWal, it would be really nice to have something towards the east. I also like that Chick-Fil-A offers books with their kids' meals instead of junky toys that usually shoot something.
And while I don't want to see "big boxes" and fast food places on every corner, I certainly welcome a little more convenience in our piece of paradise. For me, going into Destin or Panama City/PCB is a hassle and ends up turning into an all-day outing. And that is not always a fun undertaking with a 4-year-old in tow! I much prefer to be able to run errands at lunchtime, which is when I do the majority of my grocery shopping.
