Destin,
Florida
November 1 - 6, 2010

Destin's business was off 40% this past summer as the lamestream media told stories of oil all over the beaches. There was no oil in Destin. One of our favorite restaurants called the Copper Grill was out of business. I saw an empty Popeye's. Other beach attire stores were closing down.
