How did you find SoWal.com????

[kloli]

I found Sowal.com I think in 2003 (was it up at that time?) or early 2004 when I was working in the real estate biz and heard about Kurt's virtual tours. I visited his websites and stumbled upon the sowal.com/bb.

Same here...My husband was in real estate and I would look through Graytonbeach.com for information and history on the area. I remember looking at every one of Kurt's virtual tours. I soon found the message board and lurked here and there for many years and soon became a member so I could visit the Lounge and lurk some more.

I was a refugee from the original graytonbeach.com message board. I think SJ and I may have been the first to migrate over here.

I have no idea. I was prob. geeked about coming to the beach one weekend and looked it up.

I was looking for an internet Beach cam near our place -- and stumbled into SoWal.com. Back then I started each morning by looking at the Beach cam -- and wistfully wishing that I was there. The "led away in handcuffs" thread drew me into the forums. Since then, I have found it a great place to find out what's happening on the 30A corridor. It's also a great place to catch up on all the breaking reptile and wild critter news.

Last year, while my wife was bicycle shopping, I picked up some Sowal stickers. I have one on my car, which I drive all over the greater Washington, DC area. Occasionally, those here who know about SoWal.com -- and south Walton County-- will give a knowing wave -- or a thumbs up.

Every day when I get in the car -- the sticker is a daily reminder that I am blessed to have a wonderful place in paradise to get away from it all. Just thinking about it makes living here more bearable.

I am holding on to a graytonbeach.com bumper sticker, sent to us before we ever thought about moving here, and now that person is a wonderful and sweet friend!

I found graytonbeach.com while looking for service help. Lisa-at-the-beach was very helpful in that particular search.

I remember not liking the switch to sowal.com. ..That change thing! And I was even less computer literate then. I have come a long way from then!

don't think there is such a thread, but there could be one, in the lounge perhaps.

in a nutshell though, people chose user names based on a wide range of reasons. mine is my nickname. Miss Kitty's name used to be Sueshore, but we all called her Miss Kitty - she has so many posts that she was granted a new name upon request. each person has a story.

we do have a nickname thread somewhere.... what is your nickname? that was interesting.

I found sowal.com because I wanted to see some pictures before we went on our vacation to Seagrove and Kurt's were (and are) the best out there.
