What if... you live on Defuniak just above Lydia Street. It is 6PM and you need to go out. You pull out of your driveway, (you have to head out via Hotz.} You steer your car through the maze of vehicles parked every which way on Hotz. You then have to wait on the trucks and boats trailers that are leaving the beach after a day of fishing via the Garfield beach entry. You get behind a rather large boat where the driver is having a hard time making the left turn on to the sharp corner on Lydia. He has to back up and try again. As he finally makes the turn, he meets oncoming traffic on Lydia. Someone has to give. The road is not wide enough. The car being smaller decides to retreat. He has to wait to back out onto Defuniak because there are incoming cars coming in, the car finally backs out. ( Before he backs out he had to make a decision, does he head out toward Hotz so he can do the maze in front of the Red Bar and Shorty's or does he head back down Defuniak make a quick U turn in someone's driveway and try his turn again at Lydia. Now remember he was just headed home after a day of work. He lives on the corner of Garfield and Lydia. Think he is happy?) Meanwhile The driver with the boat continues down Lydia. At the corner, he has to wait on traffic because in order to leave Lydia without taking out a fence or a bush or the tree he has to swing out onto DeFuniak. He needs both lanes. You , the original person in my story, make the turn on Defuniak. You see your house across the way even wave at your grand daughter sitting on the porch. You are now on your way. it is only 6:30...aren't you glad that you gave yourself a 30 minute start. AND Grayton RESIDENTS are suppose to be happy about this situation!!!Another HOTZ situation...you bring your company to eat at the Red Bar..all parking spots are filled...so you keep circling the area joining others who are looking for a parking place on Hotz too. After all you don't want to diasappoint your company....so what happens to Lydia...it becomes a section in the "ring around the rosey" parade of cars. How great for the neighborhood. How great for the folks on Lydia. After you do the circle for 2 or 3 times you opt to park right in that driveway, it looks like that house might be a rental, maybe no one is renting it this week or may the owners aren't in town. You and your company at this point are willing to take a chance. You park on private property.When you said you were a local...you didn't say your were a resident of Grayton. So perhaps the Hotz situation wouldn't be a daily problem for you...but for Grayton residents it will be. Holidays, Spring Break and Summer Vacations and Snowbird Season...we will have to deal with this year round.
