Not to just "fit in" with the surrounding neighborhood or regional decor (unless you're in Hawaii, I suppose), with a few tiki flourishes thrown in for "theme." I understand what your saying, but keep in mind Destin is a vacation town with some of the finest beaches anywhere. It's not a TV in downtown Metropolis. I'm surprised one was opened there, seeing the other closest to me is the ATL, I'm glad they did. I understand the ATL one is more of the typical "museum" type, but I'll take what I can get...beggars cant be choosers :lol:
