Reminds me of the Chattanooga Slogan contest a few years back. Some of the better ones were:
Chattanooga! Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!
Chattanooga! Love it, Lick it!

Uh oh. I thought it was crowded this week.
It *was* really busy last week at the beach. I went down to make sure that my daughter and her friends on spring break hadn't torn our place up - LOL. How do potato chips get on the floor in absolutely every room?
I think that next week will be even busier at the beach. I know that it's spring break for Atlanta, Coweta County, Troup County, as well as other Georgia counties. I'll be at the beach, along with just about everyone I know. Last year I went to a party at Seaside during spring break, and there must have been 200 people from our town of about 40,000 at that one party! Lord only knows what percentage of the population of our town was in South Walton county that week. I think I'll just ride my bicycle everywhere to avoid the traffic. I'm sure the traffic going westbound on 30-A at the 395 intersection will be backed up past Wheelhouse. At least it won't be as bad as the Easter spring break traffic going back to Atlanta on I-85 Sunday. It took us 3 hours to drive the last 70 miles of the trip.
I know you locals probably hate that South Walton has become "Atlanta Beach," as I saw it called in one Atlanta Journal-Constitution article.

The Georgians are generally nice folks, and despite their reputation, Atlanta drivers are actually pretty competent once you get them away from the really overcrowded roads in the Atlanta metro area.
Even if they aren't as much fun as the Louisiana crew, I'll take the Georgians over a lot of other tourist groups we get down here.

Traffic at 3 yesterday was backed up to San Juan from 395.
I was hoping we could get the AJC to run another story that the Beaches of South Walton were closed for the Summer. What do you think?
If you were here in all the traffic, maybe you would see that I am only slightly kidding. All of the people in the know, would still come to the Beach and enjoy the peacefulness.
