Tesla designed the power turbines Westinghouse took advantage of him. Look up your history
Not what it used to be. Newer this and that. But not better. Sad.
The amenities are nice, but there is wonderful nostalgia in walking into an old lodge
good video thanks for sharing
Appreciate the feedback and view! Thanks so much
I have a great love for this place ❤
Great short documentary on Destin. Ive lived in Destin for 50 years, my hole life. In that sort time I've seen a rapid change. I would say that a very small amount of visitors go to our history museum and get to see any of its history. That being said, I hope your video starts popping up when people search for Destin in TH-cam and other platforms. Good luck.
Really appreciate the kind words and the feedback. Thanks for watching! Destin is a beautiful area even with all the change.

I've lived in Destin for 35 years. In the late 80s and 90s Destin was a beautiful small town with just enough tourism to make a great living. Now Destin is a tourist hell hole. Traffick is a nightmare, corporate retail stores have replaced ALL mom and pop shops and are stacked one on top of the other. Real Estate taxes have sky rocketed and the price of real estate is OUTRAGEOUS. Crime is out of control. I despise this town now and I use to feel so blessed to live here. They call this "progress"
Dang, I feel for ya. I was there a few years ago with my family. We stayed near Henderson Park. Other than the beautiful beaches, the town itself felt like one huge tourist trap. It's sad because the place is absolutely beautiful.
💯👍
havent been there yet, have always heard it was nice. thanks for sharing
Anytime! The beaches and sand there are my favorite in the USA
another great video thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
Michigan is one of the most beautiful states. It’s a shame that politics has made Michigan less desirable for regular people.
good video, thanks for sharing
Nice .. going since 1964 camping !!!
They need to move the pelicans across from the board walk in the empty lot near the seafood place and David Busters but I don't think city council wants that since it buch of elder and a feamle mayor we all know that majority of women don't like sports not trying to be sexist but she trying to bulid all elderly town. I just we get a pro team some day heck Myrtle Beach should of gotten the A's down here but I think wnba or NBA would be better less maintenance and less up keep in taxpayers.
another great video. we visit myrtle beach most every year. didnt know about the air force base being remodeled. will go there next time. thanks for sharing.
Appreciate the kind words. A lot of work goes into making these vids, so it nice to hear :) Hope you enjoy Myrtle Beach when you get back there!
thanks for doing a video on Captivia. has been many years since we visited there. will go again. thanks for sharing. good work as usual !!
No problem! Hope you get back there sometime soon.
good video thanks for sharing
Appreciate the the feedback. Thanks!
thanks for sharing. Do you have plans to do a Captiva Island video? My family and I stayed there many years ago. Sure it has changed since then. Good content in the island videos I have watched so far !
Appreciate the kind words! I was debating on doing a Captiva one or a Hilton Head vid for next week. I chose HH, but will def. do a Captiva one soon. Thanks!
Well done! Moss Hills is a genuine Hero.
Thanks! It's hard to believe that this could even happen. Moss was def. the real hero.
Why is the staff complaining? You are stuck on a cruise ship with free booze, food and beautiful ladies. What am I missing here?
II hear ya! I should have explained a little better. They were stuck on the ship for over a month without their consent. Most of them just wanted to go home, but couldn't
