The wife and I went to Destin for a 3-4 day trip as we had never been in that part of the state. Had an enjoyable time (February) weather was great, not to crowded and pretty good grub. We decided to take a drive down the coastline to sightsee, it was a year or two after a hurricane had hit. WOW, there was no roofing or siding on beach houses for 50 miles!! . Anyway we had seen a town on the map and was intrigued by the name and wanted to check it out . Apalachicola , OMFG you could here the banjo music ! groups of guys clustered around old junk cars selling dope, giving the eye to the tourist driving in the hood. The whole town should have been in a deep woods hollow in the Ozarks.
