30-A Landmarks

My daughter's school class is creating a game board to use as a fund raising project. They have great plans that are top secret at this point. The game will revolve around 30-A. Without spoiling their great idea, I'd like to hear from all of you about your favorite places on 30-A--whether it is beaches, restaurants, state parks, shops, businesses, etc. What represents 30-A to you?

The pencil trees of Western Lake!!!

The bike trail, Bud & Alley's, oops- should the kids have a bar on their board game??

The Hilton House

You'll want the board game to include things that will never "go out of business". So, restaurants and shops would be tricky to include because anything could happen to them (go out of business, change names, burn down, not get leases renewed). Communities such as Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Seaside, Grayton Beach that are so well known would be good. Also, general types of stores and shops (e.g., pizza place, art store, ice cream shop, etc.) would be good and the design could reflect the establishment they are thinking about without actually giving the name. So, if the place name changes, the game doesn't go out of date.

For game pieces or cards or challenges, the kids could use turtles, frogs, Monarch butterflies (skip the dog flies), gekkos, beach flags, dunes, pools, etc. It would be great to be able to teach people about the flag system or "stay of the dunes" or "turtle habitats" (without getting overly preachy of course since it's a game). The beachy things I think of are sunsets, beach chairs, beach toys.

They must be having so much fun thinking about these things.

Seaside and the pencil trees on Western Lake.

Thanks for all of your ideas. They are having a great time doing this.

They could do the OldSoWalPoly Board with the out of business businesses.

Did anyone mention Seagrove Village Market? :funn:

I spend my time in Yellow Fin at Grayton Corners. I could spend a kajillion bucks in there.

They have a sticker too- Bdarg has one on the truck. Before long, we are not going to be able to see out the back windows of either vehicle!

The beach. Did anyone say the beach? My favorites are Grayton Beach State Parks, on either side of Grayton Beach, although I still occassionally see septic styrofoams floating around the beach towards Gulf Trace.

Another good beach spot used to be the beach at the outflow of Big Redfish Lake. It is quickly changing and will be heavily populated too soon.

I do too. My new rule is I can't put a new one on until I peel another off.

My favorite spot is at the outflow of Stallworth Lake next to the park. There is NOBODY down there.

Oh and you can't forget SUBWAY! :roll:

Audie,
Did you know Miss Lucille came there from Indiana many years ago?

That's what I was going to say.

Hello Steele Mama. Glad to see you are sticking to your New Year's Resolution about not spending so much time on the board at work. :clap_1: Hey sticking with it for 5 days is pretty good.

Kurt,
You mentioned Eastern Lake Nursery went in where Gourd Garden was. Do they also have mostly native plants? Hope they're able to make a go of it.
