We ate there two summers ago and swore not to return. The food was expensive for what we received, portions were tiny and the service was not good. The sauce of the night was strawberry beurre blanc, which sounds like a horrible combination, so I asked for the grouper with a plain beurre blanc...

:clap_1: So is that you on the motorcycle? Merry Christmas to all!

:idontno: Will be down 10/7-10/21, first time to be lucky enough to experience the Seaside Yard Sale. Do people bring their wares to the area behind the post office, or do customers walk around to the various yards that are participating? Can't wait to be in SoWal!!:clap_1:

Re: a SOWAL sighting :clap_1: How wonderful!! I will look at my last issue when I get home. Congrats Kurt!

Miss Kitty - Please accept my application for your skool of etticat. I am a great fundraiser, and a fine institution such as yours must need ways to defray some of the cost (refreshments, lost clothing, etc.). I suggest that we students wear our shortest little school uniforms and stand in...

Linda, I make the same tomatoes, but sometimes use mayo, chopped green onion and crumbled bacon for filling. Everyone loves the little BLTs.

In Knoxville they go back on Aug. 9th. Along the same line - when do all of your children have fall break? We are one of the unfortunate couples :lol: who visit SoWal in October, and last year was more crowded and included more children than ever before because of fall break.

:lolabove: :floor: Kimmifunn you are a hoot!

:( I don't understand Chris' reference to Meghann. What has become of her (I assume she is the young lady in the car with Kylie). Such a horrible tragedy.

:welcome: btanner. Nice to have someone else from Knoxville!! You will love SoWal. :wub:

:clap_1: Same way we have been going for the past 3-4 yrs. Used to go through Georgianna, but this seems to be much quicker, and the old houses in some of the communities you go through are just beautiful. Not much scenery if you go the I-65 Georgianna route.

Katie Blue! I am very impressed by your photos. Congratulations on a job well done! :clap_1:

:shock: When did Cafe Spiazzia burn?? I didn't know about that one.

:( Thanks for the pictures Mermaid. We were at Eastern Shores in October, and Leeward I was still there, complete with sinks hanging off the walls, furniture in the sand, etc. It was my understanding that this damage is from Ivan. At least the owner of one of the condos at Eastern Shores told...

:shock: We are not the only ones who do that? We not only stay on the same beach, we stay in the same condo! We have stayed one time at One Seagrove, and one year we rented a house in Summer's Edge, but otherwise we are at Eastern Shores. We like that we can walk right out our door onto the...

We were in paradise Oct 8-22, and the only SoWal stickers I saw were on poles. Does anybody who lives there put them on their vehicles?? I was curious.

:clap_1: :clap_1: :welcome: Welcome to the board PeaPod.

:cool: Thanks Joe. I didn't mean to cause such a stir, it just came across to me like we were idiots or something because we didn't know where Ed Walline is. You are right - doesn't sound like a big deal. I hear it mentioned a lot, and Gulf Place, and have seen GP, just didn't know what it...

See "SoWal October Misery Club". It is my understanding that every one who wants to will meet at sunset on Grayton, on Saturday nights. Sounds like fun! :rolling:

Thanks Rita and Ocean Lover. I have driven by and noticed Miss Lucille's - have never stopped in there. I have also been wondering where Smiling Fish is. I love the little shops in Seaside and Grayton, and we always try to pick up a piece of art work while on vacation, so - Gulf Place here I...

:cool: RO you didn't offend me. I appreciated the info about parking, just not SJ's comment. We are not there yet, but will be Saturday afternoon, and will think about you and GB while there. I can't wait. Will wave out my window when passing through the Nooga. :wub:

:blink: I did what I should have done to begin with and looked up Ed Walline on a Google search. We love to explore the area while we are there, but we don't usually head west because we don't "do" Destin. I didn't mean to offend you, Smiling JOe, by asking for information about the area...

Where is parking for Grayton Beach? We are not landowners, and therefore do not have a beach permit, however would like to join in the SoWal OMC. Also - where is Ed Walline and Gulf Place? Don't recall seeing them in 10 years of exploring. :idontno: Can't wait to get to Seagrove on...

:clap_1: Beautiful bike. I'll take your picture in those tights and post it for the other ladies.

:clap_1: What do you ride? Let's get together while we are there and you can lead (unless you insist on wearing that dress you have on in your avatar). Thanks RO for the cool smiley.

We have a Harley Sportster 1200. Not big enough for touring but great for getting around, i.e. Eden State Gardens, St. Andrews, maybe Pensacola, Mexico Beach. We don't mind long, straight roads. They are quite a change from the roads in the Smokies, and riding anywhere is good for the soul!

Any riders there 10/8-10/22? Mr. Star and I are really excited about exploring on the bike this year, and would love to have others join us for some fun rides. :bicycle:

:lolabove: :rofl: :floor:

:lolabove: I know you are serious - we have had our entire car covered with them! I'll try the shooters the way "Shaken" makes them. Our fridge: Smoked tuna spread from Coccoon's :wub: Crab Dip Salsa Beer Wine Canadian Whiskey Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp Pickled okra, green beans...

I love jello shots, but have never made them. Got a favorite recipe you'd like to share? We will be in Seagrove 10/8-10/22 and can't wait to get there. Last year we only got 2 days worth of SoWal before Ivan ran us out. Hope for better weather this year! Also, bringing the...

:clap_1: Lisa, Congrats on the new gallery. I also saw the article in Coastal Living and was so happy to see you two featured there. See you in October!

:clap_1: Great pics JOe, as usual. Thanks for showing Eastern Lake and some of the houses and condos around there. That will be home base for us for two weeks in October, and we are SO ready for a vacation. It looks heavenly! :D

:eek: What is the deal with this guy? Is he a complete idiot, or does he just like to draw attention to himself? I read his statement yesterday on the board about burning tires on the beach and I almost fainted. What a JERK.

Re: Tropical Depression # 12 :clap_1: Way to go Lollygal! I was thinking the same thing when I saw your post. Here's hoping Katrina stays on the east coast and heads north. Will be down in October and don't want it to be any worse than it already is - hot temps, biting flies...

:blink: So Kurt, how were they? I'm not sure I want to try the air BBs.

:clap_1: Hi Dmiller - It is a small world. We go every fall for two weeks and have been for about 10 years. We try to go somewhere different on our spring vacation, although Seagrove is by far the trip we look forward to the most. We LOVE it there. I'm happy that you are going down...

:D Hi Joe, Where are you "in the mountains"? I live in Knoxville, and if you are in the Smokies you are in my neck of the woods. I hope you are enjoying yourself, however, knowing first-hand about tourist crowds, I am surprised you came here at this time. The mountains are fabulous in...

Thanks, Kurt. I have seen the sargassum, just didn't know what it was. The air chambers remind me of the water hyacinths we have in our pond. The leaves of the plant grow from a large bubble-like part of the plant that keeps it afloat. Where do the little sticks with the knots on the ends...

Kurt - Just what is "sargassum grass"? We have seen various types of seaweed in Seagrove and don't know what any of it is. Thanks!! :blink: :idontno:

Exactly where is this photo taken? Great pic, Waterman. :D

Ryan, Trey and Shotsy - So happy to hear your great news. Pets are so helpless, and it is always nice to know strangers do care for them. What a happy ending! :clap_1:

Yes it is. I can't seem to find the group of pics that include that one! Thanks. :(

Excuse the long quote - Kurt where is the picture they are talking about? I have seen the latest ones you posted, but not the one that shows bldg 1. Thanks for your help. :idontno:

Thanks so much Kurt. You are so kind to take the time to help others the way you do - and I am sure you have work of your own ahead of you. How did you fare? Good luck. :D

Hi Smiling Joe, and thanks for responding to my post. Eastern Shores is on Eastern Lake Road, beside Commodore's Retreat. I saw a picture of the green four-plex, a few lots East of the BIG PINK house, behind Summer's Edge, and it is on the same road, only closer to Eastern Lake. Thanks for...

Smilin Joe - So glad to hear from you again. I heard some disturbing news about bldg. 1 at Eastern Shores. Do you know what is going on there? We are scheduled for 2 weeks at bldg. 2 in October, have been staying there 9 years and are curious. Thanks so much for all you do for peeps on...

Yesterday someone suggested cookie sheets (I thought that was you)! I hope ya'll have a great time. There's a large advantage to being there by yourselves. No crowds.

Re: Dennis - damage reports Glad all of you appear to be safe, have been waiting all day to hear, mostly worried about Kurt and Smilin Joe. They are the only ones I knew were going to ride it out. Ditto on the Eastern Shores report. Thanks to all who contribute and, once again, I'm...

Hi Dawgfish - My husband buys shrimp and squid at Tom Thumb on 30-A in Seagrove. Have a good trip!
