Chris Alvarado, Owner & Founder of Driftwood Guitars, has a new project to build a one-of-a-kind guitar in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock music festival. The neck of the guitar will be crafted out of wood from the historic Woodstock stage. Alvarado will be breathing new life into the stage wood from many years ago, adding to the musical heritage and legacy of Woodstock.

If your idea of comfort food has anything to do with a good ol’ grilled cheese sandwich, you can’t go wrong with the Meltdown On 30A.

Construction is booming in Alys Beach and the first homes were built as carefully and solidly as the current ones.

In this edition of SoWal Style we take a look inside one of the first homes built in Alys Beach along the central pedestrian path, bordering the firepit park. It's a wonderful four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home thoughtfully designed courtyard home with an outdoor living space featuring a trickling water fountain and tropical foliage creating a private retreat.

AJ’s Seafood & Oyster Bar is a one-of-a-kind destination that draws in both locals and visitors. Spend a little time there and taste a little food and it’s easy to see why.
