Redneck Riviera, Midwest Getaway, Or Both?

The Chamber of Commerce refers to this stretch of beach as the Emerald Coast. My nephew Andy calls it the Redneck Riviera. This time of the year, I can definitely say there are a lot of Midwesterners.

We have met folks from Missouri, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois at the two motels (Driftwood Lodge and Osprey).

This morning, on my way out to the car to go to McDonald's, I took a walk through the motel parking lots and the one across Front Beach Road and did a tally of license plates which follows:

Minnesota: 3
Texas: 1
Vermont: 1
Michigan: 2
Pennsylvania: 1
Tennessee: 1
Maine: 1
Alabama: 4
Georgia: 1
Wisconsin: 5
Kentucky: 2
Ohio: 7
Illinois: 10
Indiana: 6
Florida: 6
Missouri: 5
Iowa: 3

I don't have proof about the Redneck aspect of Panama City Beach. Definitely, not all Southern tags belong to rednecks.

But, I can say that at least in our little neck of the beach that there is a heavy Midwest representation with a majority of the vehicles, 41of 59 coming from that region.

So, a Major Destination for Midwest Mollies Then. --RoadDog
