We were there at the end of June, leaving on July 2. Hot and crowded. First time in a long time we went that far into summer. It was an added week for family to enjoy. We had already been in May. Heading back in Sept.
Anyway, as we drove around we drove back into Forest Lake area. Does that sound correct? Fairly new development. Nice homes. At the northern border, huge area of trees bulldozed, area being cleared. Extension of this development?
Also, communication. There are several items that continually need to be addressed: flag system, golf carts, cyclists, pedestrian/bike trail.
There are so many special events in the summer - movies, concerts, plays, etc - why not use the beginning of each event as a way to educate those people? Utilize your local, talented young people - paying them of course from the tourist bureau. Create a fun, informational way to educate, perhaps gearing toward the children, but maybe the adults would hear too? Every visit. On the beach. We chat with people who never saw the flags; didn't know what they meant. So, your talented kids instruct the kids in the audience with comedy and visuals. Also, talk about cyclists and carts are considered cars. Don't drive the wrong way; don't go through stop signs; etc.
Seaside has a huge attendance for these events. Start with them?
It is so bad down there during the summer. Sorry.
(Trolley was fun, Went from Seaside to Gulf Place, but too hot:-( Love the Craft House and Watercolor Wine World. Of course, Modica. Keep our refrigerator stocked with items from their deli. Oysters and dinner at Great Southern. Heartache at Cowgirl Kitchen. Arrival day lunch at Bud & Alleys and token cocktail visit when Mo is there. We dine, ride our bikes, walk, go to the beach. Perfect
Long time, frequent visitor.
