Episode Synopsis

Didon Comer and Garrett Horn are some of the longest living full time residents in South Walton… and they’re among the VERY FIRST RESIDENTS OF SEAGROVE. Before bridges were built… before roads were paved… before there were grocery stores and restaurants of any kind… there was Didon Comer’s $3000 gulf-front property in Seagrove Beach.  Garrett Horn, author of “Postcards of Seagrove”, shares stories alongside Didon about what is was like to live as pioneers in one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. They describe vivid scenes of a different, more innocent time in South Walton; like uncovering ancient Native American pottery in the dunes, hanging out in the general store that is now Red Bar, and being the only people on the beach for miles in any direction.   We also talk about the rich artistic heritage of the area. Of why it isn’t a coincidence that, through the years, so many Creatives have called this place home. Before this episode, I held a strong belief that Walton County is somehow special. Magical, even. That the magic that permeats here actually pre-exists us.  Now I’m sure of it.
