Painting the Buildings in White Alys Beach

This weekend will be Digital Graffiti competition at Alys Beach. For those of you that don’t know Alys Beach, this awesome area of 30A consists of all-white buildings with an architectural style that is totally unlike what you would expect here. The first time I drove through it I was completely taken by surprise at how absolutely beautiful it is.

With over 150 entries from around the world, artists will compete for over $6,500 in cash prizes. The art will be projected onto the pristine walls, and the event will run from 7 to 11pm.

Florida Panhandle recongnized in national publication

Again Northwest Florida has been recongnized in a national publication. Ocean Home Magazine featured our area in their Winter 2007/2008 issue in the article titled StoryBook Settings. The article speaks into the area’s “picturesque developments [adhereing] to the principles of New Urbanism”.

I have to admit, after reading the first part, I wonder if St. Joe played a significant part in influencing this article, but it does speak into other areas such as SanDestin, Seaside and Alys Beach. The article is very flattering and definitely reinforces my pride in our area.
