Port St. Joe had a major paper mill right on the bay. Closed in the late 90s. Huge employer in the area. Town lost a lot of people after it closed.

Across the Bay from St Jo, from the penninsula, I once went snorkeling for bay scallops.
The next morning, On TV I witnessed the planes flying into the World Trade Center
