Really need to just combine all the Panhandle beaches. Grew up there. Still go there fishing mostly. I’m spoiled, I guess. Don’t forget Gulf Shores State Park beaches though. Perdido Point either. Might as well be part of the Panhandle. How did Alabama get screwed out of the Panhandle to Apalachicola anyway?

No kidding.

A number of people from there tell people that they're from LA = Lower Alabama. - Roll Tide -

Anyway....

John Gorrie from Apalachicola invented air conditioning back in the mid-1850's.

It was actually Florida that got robbed.

West Florida used to extend to around Biloxi. They took a lot of it to give Alabama a port.
