Seaside...Welcome or Not

[Matt J]

I think we should call them WOTs (Witches of Tupelo). Someone took a picture of the ?Welcome to Seagrove? sign on Forest Street this afternoon using a professional looking camera. I wonder what?s up.

Probably just another article in the paper to follow up a mail truck of letters to the editor.

it is a hotel spread across 80 acres with indivigual units,hundreds to clean and make up daily. if this is new urbanism so is the sandestin hilton. the owners can do what they like it may help their business or not. is the situation with beach front homeowners just the same you can not go on their private beach unless you rent from them. it is trying to gain an advantage on the rental business that gets tougher every year.

The Seaside Times already has the photo. It's in their Holiday Edition. I guess we'll have to wait and see if it appears elsewhere.

Actually both of the issues you bring up hurt rentals. Most people would rather move freely about than worry about what square of dirt they can stand/sit on.

I thought everyone had a fancy looking professional camera these days? You can buy them for around $500, unlike the old days.

I?ve been praying to the ?Sign Fairy? to place another one on Grove Street. So far he/she hasn?t come through.

Perhaps the coverage in today's Walton Sun? No witches unless they're lurking in the bushes hoping to catch Seagrove "offenders"
