Tupelo St. Seaside what to do

[Green Knight]

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..Stinkys...etc..etc..etc..they actually are happy to see us at those places unlike the Gestapo at Seaside

Not everything or everyone at Seaside sucks - it is just one small group of people giving the whole a bad name with their rudeness and need to live in a gated community.

I agree...I haven't run across too many bad apples in Seaside...can't judge a community by just one disgruntled "ambassador"(??)

I look forward to going to Seaside on visits. Have had some great food there, checked out the new garden plot (cool!), always stop by the bookstore, Fusion, market and often have gelato. Granted, I don't think I've ventured down Tupelo St. But likely will next time, out of curiosity! .

Hopefully, the lady with the hat will move into a assisted-living facility soon. She looks like she's about ready.

Not everything...I tend to avoid Seaside if possible, due to six years of employment out there a decade and-a-half ago and the full-tilt snob factor I experienced from the homeowners and some of the management during that time. However, I particularly remember the ones that twirked me off - and they don't look down their noses at me now. (Karma is a biotch...)

But there are many great people at Seaside, who I do patronize in the off-season.

A few rotten apples might stink, but they do not make up the entire neighborhood of Seaside.

My daughter worked at Seaside as an intern for 5 months in early 2008. The shop and restaurant owners at Seaside were very gracious and welcoming to her and to me also; everytime I visited her which was often.

One of the shop owners went above and beyond to help me give my daughter an Easter bunny surprise, assisting me by phone here in Memphis.

I think it is extremely unfair to all the good people of Seaside to think that a few represent all of them.

This is why one really bad, stinky apple can spoil the whole bunch. Not everyone has an "Easter Bunny" surprise that can save all of Seaside.

Position yourself as a first time visitor to Seaside, and this is your encounter. I spend probably 4 months out of the year here. Not loving, the Tupelo patrol. I think twice about where I spend my $$$$!

The only really bad stinky apple I have ever experienced in over 30 years of coming to the area, happened at one of 30-A's most beloved establishments.

One encounter did not convince me that the establishment was not worth visiting again or the area, even though it was my first visit there. I would have missed out on many good meals and fun times, if I had.

I would hate to think the actions of one would over ride the actions of many others.

When I think of Seaside, I think of Bud and Alley's, the Taco Bar, Modica, Sundog Books, Pickles, Great Southern Cafe, Fired Up, Seaside Repertory, great outdoor concerts and much more. And while one merchant did go above and beyond to help me plan an Easter Surprise for my daughter, that is only one memory out of many wonderful ones.

I do not associate Seaside with one grumpy old lady with a little dog on Tupelo street, who can easily be avoided or ignored.
