Excerpt: Warner on location

"The Flora-Bama Lounge & Package Store lies in a sub-tropical island area possessing a rich and storied past. Some might even call it a romantic, pirate-laden history.

The Flora-Bama is just inside the State of Florida, with only a small wedtern portion resting in Alabama. It hugs a narrow, island strip of white sparkling sand from Perdido Pass to the Intercoastal Canal, running perpendicular to the tide, separating Ono Island and Old River from the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal area nestled against a gleaming blue-green backdrop is one that has seen much human activity ovrr the past few hundred years of its recorded history" (Warner, 2012, p. 46).
