Outing Through Emerald Coast Changes and Gripes
A meandering coastal drive from Panama City to Destin contrasts old Florida scrub with rapid development. The narrator laments Frenchified architecture, tenement-style beach houses, and a looming shopping center, fearing Destin’s incorporation and zoning will erase the fishing village look. A gift encounter at the Sweetheart Shop and notes on local nostalgia anchor the piece.
