congrats to <Big> St. Simon's Island for eliminating Ossabaw Island (by another narrow margin)

*Why is Cumberland & Lil' Cumberland together but St. Simon's and Lil' St. Simon's are not?  Cumberland Island and Little Cumberland are very similar, but St. Simon's Island and Little St. Simon's are very different including amount of development, accessibility and uses.
