One of the reasons that I think that smart growth and new urbanism has taken such a strong hold in the River Region is that so many River Regioners vacation along Highway 30-A in South Walton County, Florida.

Here you'll find Seaside, WaterColor, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach and others.

Well, if you are one of these folks, then this South Walton blog should be a Must Read for future trips.

By the way, I'm heading back to Montgomery this afternoon and will try and post some of the photos I took from the Alys Beach Open House earlier today. The interiors of these homes are even more amazing than the beautiful exteriors.
