Driving north from Mobile to Montgomery is one of the worst FM radio dead zones that I’ve ever encountered. That’s my prime complaint about driving in the state. Bonus: Their Welcome Centers are attractive, and staffed with people whose drawls will put you in mind of dripping syrup. Sweet!...
We like both, but I prefer a pet that can be left on its on when we go out of town. That pet is a cat. (Of course, ours is still pissed off at us because we were gone for a few days recently.)...
[quote]Alexandria is a shittier city and has a better airport. Sad![/quote]Alexandria also has all of those highway arteries and bypasses with no traffic on them to speak of, ever, when I’ve driven through there.

Going to be in Columbus soon for a family visit. Anyone have good tips for restaurants or attractions? My partner’s family tends to be fairly basic, meat and potatoes kind of people. Also, thanks to all who responded to my request for info about Las Vegas. We ultimately bowed out, as I realized ...

re: Restaurants in 30A

A bit west on 30A from your parameters, but we enjoyed our brunch at Crackings in Grayton, and our dinner at Surfing Deer in Seagrove on our last visit....
College sweethearts. After graduation, I realized that I did not want to live the rest of my life in that college town. It was their hometown; parents and siblings have all built their lives there, as did my former love. I moved back to my hometown, and have enjoyed my life here. We are both happy w...

re: 30 A - Spring Break

Posted by South Shore Cyclist on 4/9/24 at 4:57 pm
I agree, but it appears that 30A has other, perhaps more serious issues than the spring breakers. In my research, I came across references to a court case that was recently decided there, limiting public access to the beach. Some of the public access walkways to the beach are slated for closure, if ...

re: 30 A - Spring Break

Posted by South Shore Cyclist on 4/7/24 at 2:25 pm
From what I gleaned in my FB perusing, similar measures are requested for 30A. Curfews WERE instituted on the beach in Seaside, which drove the kids to Central Square. When that was shut down, they spilled into the neighboring communities of Seagrove, Blue Mtn. Beach, perhaps Watercolor, and Rosemar...

re: 30 A - Spring Break

Posted by South Shore Cyclist on 4/6/24 at 10:23 pm
It was Spring Break in the Atlanta area public schools this past week. 30A locals call it “Hell Week.” Apparently, ATL area kids are the worst behaved of the kids who pass through the area for Spring Break. Been monitoring the Walton County Sheriff’s office posts on FB. It appears that many of the t...
