photo police at Seaside

[CPort]

Sounds like a perfectly lovely day in Seaside, Toots! The only problem I have had in Seaside is driving through it. Makes me a freakin' nervous wreck. Even traveling at negative 5 mph, I have almost taken out a stroller and a family that just jumped out between parked cars.

I haven't been down during peak season in several years,but I used to go crazy driving from Grayton to Seagrove . Maybe they need to build a bypass.

Just read an interesting letter to the editor in this weeks "Sun". Apparently, Seaside security has a problem with photos being taken even in the designated "public" areas of the self proclaimed town. I see a photo posted on this very site that is from the forbidden zone- Tupelo pavillion. Definitely a no-no for photographers, even ones on the approved list. I wonder what the rules are when you are a paying guest. All vacation snap shots need a written permission slip? Even Robert Davis would have to see the folly of being so uptight about images that serve to advertise the property far and wide. I really thought Walton county was something different and special- The overwrought attitude of Seaside (and others) is an embarassment and certainly gives an unfortunate twist to the term "New Urbanism"

This would never happen in Mayberry Unless Barney Fife was on duty.....
