Oh, I thought you were referring to all of the ones that were growing where "yards" and 3000+sf homes are being built, or the dead ones to the east of the homes.
SmilingJoe, If someone could just "donate" several of those 3000 ft. homes to me, I would'nt care how swampy the neighborhood was. As long as the renters could see most of the road to make it to the house after paying at the rental office. SWEET!
Hi Kurt, I've been wondering about this statement. The only people I've met with any connection to Panama City were folks that previously vacationed there and decided they liked 30-A better.kurt said:
Is daytripping from Panama City currently a source of SoWal traffic? Is daytripping from Destin currently a big source of traffic? I know we occasionally go either direction when we make a Home Depot run or need supplies from other chain stores, but are there a lot of Panama City folk visiting for the day in SoWal now, and if so, what do you suppose are the primary reasons: sightseeing, beach-going, up-scale shopping or dining, or just passing through on the way to the outlet malls?
From general observations:
We get more from Destin than PC. Even those that prefer the busier spots to the East and West like to venture down Scenic 30-A for a day of sightseeing, shopping, dining, and real estate looking. I would bet that it's mostly folks who are on vacation for more than a few days.
I know that the Red Bar brings in people from both Destin and PC, it has become one of those "must go to", or "must go every time we're there" spots.
Rosemary Beach, Seaside, WaterColor, and Grayton, are places that generate a lot of curiosity - add Alys Beach to that list soon. People say the Emerald Coast is the American Riviera. I say SoWal is like the American Cinque Terra (on the Italian Riviera), with scenic villages connected by a trail, ours being a bike trail rather than a hiking trail.
Ultimately, it's the uniqueness and beauty of a condensed area (Scenic 30-A or the Cinque Terra) that is the true attraction.

I think these people are the exception. I think these people went to PCB for a nice relaxing vacation and found the exact opposite.
