In case you haven't been lately, go check out the changes at Bud & Alley's Pizza Bar. If you've never been, plan to get there as soon as you can. Owner Dave Rauschkolb doesn't sit still.

South Walton is a food lover's paradise, and the SoWal crew takes advantage daily. Nearing lunchtime last Tuesday we had just visited Amy Huff of Fashionably Late. After a quick interview and photos at her new boutique at Uptown Grayton, we were starving and our creative juices were flowing. We did the usual, “Where do y’all want to go for lunch?” It's an easy decision when you're so close to "downtown" Grayton and The Red Bar.
