I see your ugly building and raise you an ugly house.  This abomination is on Satinwood Dr right near the trailhead.  They are similar.  Same person? :hmm:[ATTACH type="full"]111405[/ATTACH]

And in Grayton Beach of all places - keep SoWal Scenic? Absolutely not lets f**k it all up beyond recognition. Why be Grayt!??!

What do you think? Is there an uglier building in your memory? (not including convenience stores or government buildings which rate less than zero).

This monstrosity is on HWY 283 on the right just before Shops Of Grayton.

I think the super modern visitors center down by the beach in Grayton blows that out of the water. It’s worse than bad!!

Rode by it today. Not only is it FUGLY but it is huge and the first thing you see traveling south to Grayton. At this point I feel like Scenic Walton, Walton County Planning and the Commissioners are just destroying us with this kind of shit. And laughing at us.

There's no ignoring a fart in an elevator. Whoever allowed that building and whoever built it just popped a squat on Grayton Beach.
