"A nostalgic romp through the tourist attractions and vintage hotels of the sunshine state's Gulf Coast. Tourists flock to Florida's northwest Gulf Coast and to sun-and-fun spots at Panama City Beach, Fort Walton Beach, and Pensacola Beach. Every year those visitors number in the millions. For those who long to recall how this vacationland appeared thrity, forty, or even fifty years ago, Tim Hillis's book provides engaging snapshot descriptions. In a style that informs and entertains, he describes the rise of early resorts and major tourist attractions. With heartfelt nostalgia and a dose of tongue-in-cheek, he reminisces about the motels and tourist cottages, the restaurants, and the elaboratge miniature golf courses. He takes a special delight in recovering the memories of the region's quirky businesses and wacky tourist traps. A profusion of vintage photos and advertisements, most of which have not been seen in print since their original appearances on postcards and souvenirs, will delight nostalgia lovers, snowbirds, and tourists seeking the Florida panhandle's sites of yesteryear." -- from the rear outer cover.
