Y'all we drove along beach road last night on our way back to Fort Morgan from north of Pensacola... and it's like wall to wall condos from Perdido except for the state park (WHICH IS AWESOME). I told Irish that it basically looks like Destin through here! You can hardly tell there's a beach behind them. I do not recall any mom and pop places however, there could be across the street from the beach. There are some much older places across the street but I'm sorry I cannot readily recall them. We were exhausted so we were just trying to get safely home.
