In the panhandle of Florida, just a short trip east from Panama City, lies the small town of Apalachicola. This is one of the few areas in Florida that has not been ruined by the uncontrolled growth that has ruined much of the state. The waters around here produce some of the best oysters in the United States and during the oyster season you can get oysters from the fisherman directly and at a fraction of the cost you would pay at your local market.
The small downtown area caters to locals and tourists. They have done a nice job of restoring some of the old buildings in town. There are a a small number of shops, restaurants and other things to do. It is a great place to spend a day or two. There are also a large number of older homes in town that have kept there charm.
The barbershop was still in business when this picture was taken in April 2008.
