...The Coastal Vision 3000 Committee was formed to develop a marketable identity for Okaloosa, Walton, Bay and Gulf counties.
This initiative was apparently triggered by airlines’ complaints that this area was too fractured and that they needed something with 20 letters or less for their billboards.
I’m not sure why the Emerald Coast, at 12 letters, wasn’t considered dynamic enough. But don’t worry, they’ve one-upped it.
Are you ready? Drum roll, please.
At a meeting last week, the new buzz words were unveiled: The Beach.
That’s right, The Beach.
Hmmm. Wow. How did they ever manage to come up with something so riveting? Please tell me you can hear the sarcasm bleeding from every word I type....
