I grew up in Pensacola. My parents live across the street from the water. It's the last place I want to go , but I can see how folks who didn't grow up like that would enjoy it.

Kind of the same with tailgating on campus. I went to school here (twice) and work here, so the last thing I want to do on my day off is stand around at work.

My parents have houses in Destin. I spent all my summers growing up there.

BTW Pensacola/Mobile area =/= Destin/PCB/FWB area

Nope. I remember when Destin was one hotel, a gas station, and a blinking traffic light! When I was a kid, the beach was where the poor people lived.

So far as beaches go, the Gulf Islands NS part of Pensacola Beach was the best, hands - down, in terms of scenery back before Opal, Ivan, and Dennis destroyed it.

You should check out Destin again.

I was talking about now btw. Am I not going to enjoy a great beach because it sucked 25+ years ago?

I am was born and raised in Dothan. Most of my family and my wife's family lives in Southeast Alabama, Southwest Georgia, Florida Panhandle.

My in-laws have a house at the West End of Panama City Beach in Laguna Beach. That is one of the things I miss living here.

We stayed there when I was in 10th grade. A couple of us snuck out and met up with some friends that were at the beach. We got shite faced. Best church trip ever.

Ah, I said "nope" to agree that they were not the same/or equal. Sorry
