Rosemary Thymes Beach Access Article

[BlueMtnBeachVagrant]

Hold it right there, Bucko!

I think the implication of Seacrest Riff-Raff came from the Rosemary Thymes roll article and the employment of Beach Gestapo to patrol their dry sand.

-------------------
On September 10, the Rosemary Beach board of directors voted to hire security to enforce the privacy of the beach and the beach walkovers.

"We will be sending letters to remind our neighbors," Bagby said, "that the beach walkovers and the beach are private. To avoid embarrassment or calls from angry renters, they need to let them know where the public beach access and the Seacrest access are located."
----------------------------------------

No problem.

I didn't see the term riff-raff in the article itself or your post. But after searching, Rapunzel, in a later post, coined the phrase regarding this topic: "I'd just dropped a substantial chunk of money at the RB business where I picked up my copy of the Thymes implying Seacrest residents were a bunch of riff raff mucking the "Alluring White Sands" of Rosemary Beach. I think I'm going to stage a boycott."

Since your previous post negatively characterized the results of those that use the beach......

"then I noticed more and more trash during my walks (and picking up) on the beach; then condos & subdivisions sprang up everywhere; then plastic junk, chairs and tents were left all over the beach overnight; and now this summer they started in with all the "private beach" signs and they even arrested a guy for sitting on dry sand in the "wrong place."

......Shame on me for assuming that her response was somewhat influenced by your post. What is the definition of riff-raff anyway?;-)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
