Danny, a very nice summation of both sides of the issue.

Bob Wells...thanks for the correction, I knew it was one of them.
Danny...Nice post but even you must admit that some of our past politicos were not the brightest bulbs in the pack and the best decisions regarding "what's best for all of us and not just some of us" has not been the highlight of our past. Moving forward, it is better than it has ever been but as I said, we still have huge improvements that need to be made.
In regard to incorporation, I don't really care because I don't believe it will ever happen. I think its extremely selfish and a huge waste of time and resources.
What I do care about is the "donor community" mentality, particularly by those who have lived here 10 years or less and think of North Walton as the bane of their existence and believe the beaches are there exclusively for them and they are the only ones who have the right to decide how to protect and nourish them. As you so eloquently stated, NoWal has been nourishing those beaches long before the fancy million dollar homes/condos along 30A and elsewhere. Many of us remember when it was nothing but untouched beauty, not bottle necked traffic jams, over development and the host of problems associated with it.
P.S. Please tell us those were not your clothes left on Rosemary Beach...the mental image is disturbing. LOL!

Some of the small FL 20 communities in Walton County like Choctaw Beach and Villa Tasso do have a Niceville postal address. (I've gotten misdelivered Choctaw Beach mail in the past.) Not sure where Freeport PO picks up- maybe Portland?
Could be the source of some slight confusion.
Ding, ding, ding....with a slight correction. I don't consider them "NoWal" beaches, I consider them "OUR" beaches!
Community property!
Representative Drake's House of Representatives info lists Eucheeanna as his place of residence.
Defuniak Springs has its own city. Freeport. Paxton. For crying out loud, why wouldn't our town want to have a city government?
True, but I was referring to the fact that a SoWal County would effectively eliminate any claim of ownership NoWal previously held.
I don't think its about having a "say", I think some are under the mistaken impression that everything south of the Clyde B. Wells bridge is exclusive property owned by residents of SoWal. It is not, never has been and never will be.
There won't be a Hampton Inn on 30A...did SoWal residents not have a "say" in that? There are many other instances but that is the one this threads about.
