Tupelo St. Seaside what to do

[UofL]

This is all very amusing. I don't know what to expect. Mike and I have stayed at Seaside 2 times since this thread was started. We use Grove frequently, whether walking, riding our bikes, or driving our van. We haven't encountered anyone.
Maybe because of our age? We're grandparents - but not Granny looking. Can't be because of our wealthy demeanor - my husband teaches and I work in a lab.
Anyway, I think I will have to print the beginning of the thread and have it ready if the lovely Tupelo lady and I meet.
I can understand someone trying to block people in a development anywhere else in the US, but along the coast where alot of the housing is rental, that is surprising. She must have forgotten that fact.
Happy Holidays to her and all of you and we are counting down the days until we are there again.

This thread only reinforces me and my families opinion that everything at Seaside SUCKS and is overpriced anyway...have not spent a cent there in years and will continue to abide by that...give me Red Bar..Smiling Fish..Stinky's...etc..etc..etc..they actually are happy to see us at those places unlike the Gestapo at Seaside

Thanks for that! I like knowing that people who don't like me stay away. I am one part of everything about Seaside and I am sorry you feel that way about me and my friends. It's a good thing that my other friends at Stinky's, Smiling Fish and Red Bar don't agree with you.
Merry Christmas to you and so sorry that I wont be seeing you around.
My granddaughter always tells me Mean people stink! We don't use the other word.

Hating Seaside is like hating on Christmas. Just kidding - sort of.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea but if you are complaining about it then you need to get a life. Seaside is magic for so many people - sure it is the playground of the mostly rich or at least well-to-do but that doesn't mean the events and merchants aren't great.

Makes me think those who complain about snobs are snobs themselves - reverse snobbery. Or just plain JEALOUS!

I agree it is just a few homeowners making trouble who are obviously bitter people. The good homeowners and merchants should throw the bums out.

Tupelo Street has attracted some strange birds. Most are elderly women. One of them called Seaside Security a couple of weeks ago and complained that we were throwing our yard clippings into her fenced yard. Actually, we were piling them on the shoulder of the county right-of-way in front of our house in Old Seagrove, where Waste Management picks them up every week. All of the complainers (there are at least four) bought many, many years ago and their age is taking a toll.
