All of the Locals and tourists can see what it took, from the hard working people with a vision of the future... for the rest of us to enjoy.... KUDOS.. to ALL... that had a hand in preserving "THe Most Beautiful Beaches"... I am in awe..... I do TOO enjoy ALL the history of Walton County... as it has been my home for years... I have only lived in 2 other places, FWB and PCB... so I was not actually very FAR away......

Let's hope that working with the Planning Board and the County Commissioners that we can redirect the proposed Residential to Commercial lots on Defuniak from becoming a reality. Grayton has already lost a lot of its village charm to too many commercial ventures cashing in on our beaches and our unique community, Sometimes I feel, that we are looked at as a cash cow, and our commercial neighbors don't really care about our neighborhood. We don't need any more encroaching commercial ventures starting up within our already established residential surrounding neighborhood. We have enough real estate offices and restaurants and the traffic and parking issues that come with them. Defuniak needs to remain residential from Pine Street down to Hotz. Not all "new" changes are good ones! Thank heaven we had Beach Mama and others who fought for Grayton Beach, or no telling what our beloved Grayton would look like now.

Loved seeing the pictures! Beachmama looked like a beautiful and vibrant, happy woman. Grayton Beach was lucky to have her. On behalf of myself, my children, and someday grandchildren.... Thank you.
