Local 30A Tee

Maybe you live here year round. Maybe you show up every summer without fail and have for twenty years. Maybe you count down the months from somewhere north of here where the winters are long and the water is the wrong color. It doesn't matter. Local isn't always about the zip code. It's about the knowing. You know which towns to avoid on a Saturday in July and which dune lake is glassy on a Tuesday morning and where the locals eat when the tourists aren't looking. You know the back roads and the good parking and the bartender's name at the place without a sign out front. You were here before it got this popular and you'll be here long after the trend chasers find somewhere else. Some people discover South Walton. You claimed it. There is a difference. LOCAL.
