Every July, the most anticipated issue of Elegant Island Living hits the streets and the debate begins. The annual “Best Of ” issueis here! Having voted during the month of May, locals and visitors alike want to see who won what. With so many categories, the Best Of feature has grown to an amazing 40 pages. I want to take a moment and thank everyone who took the time to go online and fill out a ballot.
Like the thousands of other folks who voted, I have my favorites. And while I cannot divulge my personal “Best Of ” picks, I thought you might enjoy some of our more interesting vote submissions:
Best Public Rest Room: (This was obviously a write in category!)
Harris Teeter. It’s nicer than my bathroom at home!
Best Real Estate Agent:
Anyone but XXXXXX (We’re guessing that sale didn’t go well.)
Best Place to See a Sea Turtle:
Other than the Sea Turtle Center? Is this question seriously on here?!
(Okay, it might be time to update our categories.)
Best Place to People Watch:
Walmart
(Sooo, this person has never been on the pier after midnight.)
Best Place to Have a Party:
My House
(Hey! Where’s my invitation?)
And my favorite submission this year:
Quirky Thing about St. Simons Island:
1. We are all drunk. That’s quirky, right?
2. Downtown!
3. The Locals (Redundant, see #1)
Whether you’re a local or just visiting, we hope you realize why Travel + Leisure readers named St. Simons Island their favorite American Beach Town! We’re happy to be here too!
