Technically, I believe you're right. I'm sure DuneLaker could tell us for sure. Isn't the Okaloosa county line a bit further down 98?

Bruno's grocery is located in Walton County. 
Moot point.
Technically it in in Walton County, but that area is called Destin. Silver Sands Outlet Destin Florida - Silver Sands Outlet Stores in Sandestin
Whatever.
My main point was that I didn't want Bruno's Pizza to be harmed by an ambiguous thread title. This has been fixed now.

People may call it that, but it's not in Destin, creating confusion.
Hence Dunelaker's constant attempts to get people/media to be more accurate.

Here's the link to the B'ham Biz Journal that has the info.
Someone on the fourm that is from B'ham can tell the story better than me about how the Bruno family built a family grocery store into a multi-million dollar business with hundreds of stores(Bruno's, Food World, Albertson's, Vincent's Markets) only to watch it be run into the ground by large holding companies after it was sold years ago. I don't think words Customer Service was in their playbook.
I'll never forget the CEO of the first holding company from NY it was sold to saying " We're going to show these folks in the South how to sell grocerys". I guess he was right --- He's really going to run some good sales the next few weeks.

This is sad. The downhill trend seemed to begin with the tragic plane crash where several family members died. 
My son worked for this company when he was in high school in the late 90s. They always treated him well.

The area is called Miramar Beach in South Walton County and who would confuse the two?
One problem is the &^%* zip codes. I worked the census ten years ago in Sandestin and that area has a Destin zip code. A good percentage of the people living there had no idea what county they actually lived in, until some proposed development they objected to came along, and then they had to ask directions to the BCC meetings. I guess they never paid much attention to their property tax bills, seemed quite strange to me.
Same thing on the east end of 30A - they have a Panama City Beach zip code, but I do think the people living there are a bit better informed as to where they live.

Walton County 13 zip codes and 3 post offices. The problem is up and down the county. Bunker is served by Vernon in Washington County, what sense does that make.
