You can’t go home again…

Today Jan and I had lunch at one of our favorite seafood places here in Gulf Shores called Tacky Jacks. It’s on the bayou at Alabama Point that connects the bayou to the Gulf of Mexico and has some great views.

It’s also right across the bayou from SanRoc Cay, a resort area that’s built on property that my parents once owned.

It’s kind of hard to drive around and see all the new condos and buildings that have gone up. Gulf Shores used to be a sleepy little town with mostly Mom and Pop businesses. Now it’s Fort Walton Beach/Panama City redux.
