"I keep hearing that Crystal Beach is "Gone." Hogwash. It isn't gone. Maybe some of the wood and nails that made up houses are gone...But Crystal Beach is still there, and it will come back better than ever."
(Sarah Morrison Stephens, Deatsville, Alabama)

"...like most things, it wasn’t necessarily the physical structure that makes a place special but it was the people who lived there." (MR McDermott, Dallas TX)
