Trip to Florida Panhandle offers unspoiled beauty, history - St. Petersburg Times

Trip to Florida Panhandle offers unspoiled beauty, history - St. Petersburg Times: "The address says Pensacola, but the 'last authentic American roadhouse' is actually on Perdido Key, which straddles the Florida-Alabama state line (17401 Perdido Key Drive; (850) 492-0611 or www. florabama.com). The location spawned one of the most curious annual events in Florida: the Interstate Mullet Toss, April 23-25 this year. There's a lot of beer drinking and tossing dead mullet across state lines. A golf tournament and beach party also accompany the fish-throwing festivities. If you're not up to that spectacle, stop by the rambling beach bar another time and take a sip of the rowdy South. It's been said Jimmy Buffett stops by every once in a while. Margaritaville meets mullet mayhem."
