Where's everybody from?

[Smiling JOe]

Hey BeachBoy, know of anyone in Seacrest, or anywhere in SOWAL for that matter, that might have a property for rent? I live in Seagrove Beach with one of my sons and need my own place. My son, that just returned from overseas and is now out of the Army, might live with me, at least for awhile. I'm only needing it for 4-6 mos., as I might relocate to ATL.

From the rental thread:

I was a public policy underachiever. Probably should have worked for a year or two after undergrad to clarify what I wanted to do rather than jumping right to grad school. I was either the first or second graduating class after they seperated out from Rackham.

As for Zingerman's it was their sandwiches I loved, and I'm not sure how practical it would be to ship sandwiches, even with dry ice and next day delivery.

I didn't start teaching at Public Policy (now the Ford School and they're getting a new building) until around 2001. I enjoy it. A lot of people in graduate school don't know what they want and try to figure it out while they're there. Sometimes it works, sometimes they have to try another way. (I was an exceptional underachiever until my 30s...).

I'm from many places, making my home in every state from Florida to Maine. Currently, I am enjoying life in South Walton, although I am thinking about selling out and moving to Freeport.

let me know when you want to sell, and send me property info.

Oh and by the way I have lived in Atlanta, GA all of my life. After Law school I hope to move to South Walton to practice environmental and land use law.

Born and raised in Baltimore, MD. Moved to St Pete about 6 years ago. Loved Tierra Verde as a neighborhood, but as soon as you get into south St.Pete...keep your doors locked. Grayton bound, the schools are horrific, at least they were when I lived there for 2 years. some South St. Pete kids made it hard for the rest of the school...girls attacked in the bathrooms, shoes being stolen, etc. The main reason we moved away was because of the schools. we love it here in Destin. great schools, and even prettier than St. Pete.

I have to agree with you on the school system in the St. Pete, Clearwater and all the central area of FL schools in general. (AND the locked doors in So. St. Pete, too!!) Not to be a downer, but they truly are horrific. By the time our son was 3, we moved to Chicago area only for the school system. The public schools here are awesome by comparison. Once the high school years are over, then, we'll move back to FL, but NOT to St. Pete/Clearwater (icky beaches!!!!!). It will be the Sowal area or Pensacola.
(BTW, we always wondered why Clearwater Beach got that name because the water was never clear!!)

How do you feel about the recent National Energy Policy and oil and gas development in general?

Not to break up these posts--I'm liking that everyone is straight and to the point. If y'all notice, this thread was started November 2004. SJ made his comments about "no community feel" almost a year ago. I'd venture to guess that he feels a little bit better about things now. In fact, a think that there was a thread recently about the fact that "the community" was starting to form. One problem is that most all locals here have been here for less than five years. It took me awhile to realize that I wasn't an "outsider" because everyone was new and everyone felt like and outsider.

I think the community feel of SoWal has increased as the real estate frenzy has dissapated.

Bob, we'd love to have you around here full-time.

Now back to hearing where everyone is from . . .

I'm sorry, I guess my observations are invalid. I mistakenly thought of 30a as a resort area. Where is the center of "town"?

I think you just opened a can of worms...

The Seasiders vs. The Graytons, with occasional sniping from the Blue Mountain, Seagrove, Seacrest and Rosemary contingents, tonight on Pay-Per-View.

PS--The above was meant in fun...don't everybody go gettin' all flamey on me.

You are standing in it! (probably sitting aren't you?)
