Pictures of Seagrove 1950's

[Beachbummette]

For some reason I can't see the photo of Grayton 1984. Would you post it again?

Since we are all dating ourselves, I was a sophomore at Louisiana Tech. :funn:

Talking good ol' days and all, is there some sort of "30A Preservation Group"? There needs to be, with some of the developers wanting to privatize the beach. Just a thought.

sorry i removed the picture because this thread was about Seagrove 1950's as usual we got off topic.:roll:

I will try to sit down one night and post all of my old Grayton beach pics. There are also other people in the pics that I'm not sure how they would feel about having that old picture posted.

We do need to start a 30A Preservation Group!:clap_1: Ideas, suggestions?

He needs to write a book!! Great pics and stories of the good ole days! Thanks BB. Can't wait to meet you both!

You will see us both at the SoWal Soiree on April 28th! :clap_1: Everyone is invited!!!:clap_1:

I could not find the pics either. What a great story. I can't wait to see the photos. Please post them. I am really interested in the history down there. Sounds like a great time in your life.

I just saw this revived thread from March 2007. I wasn't on SoWal then. Thanks to Beachbummett for posting. Maunsel White is also a dear friend and fellow history enthusiast. He sent me a few movies of his family and his Aunt Mary Bruns artwork of Seagrove and surrounding SoWal area. I'll post a few of the pictures that are courtesy of Maunsel White of his aunt's paintings. Will post more on a history blog later as time allows. Do check out my history blog on SoWal. I've got over 36 blogs posted on various Florida and Walton County history topics.

Mary Bruns artwork "Ancient Oaks" in Seagrove. Courtesy of Maunsel White. You can often catch up with Maunsel on Tuesday nights at Cafe 30A's Martini Night -- a true local venue. Some of the titles for the artwork were what I had on pictures received in 2006. Would need to check with Maunsel for verification on artworks' official names, if any.

The whole collection was on display for a short time at the now-defunct Cerulean in WC a couple of years ago. It was really something - almost too much to absorb in one viewing.

I'm curious about the "canal" off of Eastern lake if that is a natural formation or a long forgotten man made waterway?
