I'm comming out (sorta)

[DTinTexas]

I am rather new to this board (post Dennis) and wanted to pop in and say hello. I currently live in Dallas but I am very familiar with the BMB area. In the late 1970's our family fell in love with the area and built a vacation home there. I used to get there several times a year, but now I have to be more realistic and plan my trips!

I still remember when you had to drive to the "Jitney Jungle" at the Destin Bridge for "real" groceries. Do any of you remember before the "new 98" was built? Heck, I even remember the old "Museum of the Sea and Indian" on the old 98. Oh, I know, you're doing the mental math. Stop it!

Anyway, I just wanted to make it official and say hello. I have been watching this board for a bit now and have ALMOST figured out the some of the personalities. Thanks so much for being my lifeline to the place I love so much!

Take care,
Donna

Donna, I'm sorta new too. This is really an entertaining board though, don't you think. These folks are so so nice and they really crack me up. Where are you in Tx.?

I actually live in Plano - a suburb of Dallas. What brought you here?

I live in Grapevine. Got here sorta accidentally--picked up a sticker at the store in Grayton Beach when I was there in Aug. and decided to check out the website when I got home.. It's great. So many wonderful photos and great people!

I still remember when...

I can't wait to hear some of those stories.

I remember back then when I was at Kelly Docks to check out the daily catch. I asked one of the guys there where we could grab a hamburger in the area. I will never forget when he said, "We don't have haburgers in this town, just fish." He was right - there were no "normal" restaurants at that time.

OMG, I swear I am not as ancient as I appear!

My family vacationed at East Pass Motel! It's not even there any more, but we sure thought we were "up town" even though it was a hole in the wall on the bay!!! Great memories!
