    "It’s a laid back riverside community of backwoods locals, retirees, plus visitors coming to enjoy the river and gulf, including fishing, scalloping, and beautiful scenery, living in strained harmony. The locals were devastated by the state constitutional amendment banning gill-netting of mullet fish and never fully recovered. Drugs intervened, and continue to be a problem for natives. It is a golf-cart community, so one may get around legally in a cart, but a car is needed to access anything more than a mini-mart as far a shopping goes. There are many good local eateries, waterfront honkeytonks, bait shops and watercraft rental businesses. It is quiet, pleasant, and pretty peaceful. A gardener’s paradise."
