    Concern RE: Professional Health Examiners / lab aka ProHealth 4942 Hwy 98

    ProHealth is designed for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or have a high deductible or "catastrophic" insurance policy. There are not many options for people who can't afford insurance or as mentioned, are underinsured or have high deductibles. It has been voted Best Walk-in Clinic in...

    Pedestrian Confusion 30A

    I live in Blue Mtn (yay!), and I walk mornings and evenings. There is much confusion regarding whether to walk on left or right side depending on where one is walking. I often feel like a Dr Seuss Zax on the prairie of Prax wondering who is going to 'give' first when walking directly toward each...

    Holi Indian Cuisine Coming to Miramar Beach

    This is fantastic news as Indian food is a favorite of mine. I had many fine Indian restaurants to choose from back home in Baton Rouge, and I've been waiting for one to come here! (cannot believe I've been here 10 years now!) :thanks:

    Walton County COVID19 Updates

    Thank you for the PDF. I just read in section 3 that attending religious services is considered essential. I don't understand, as the very nature of a congregation means 'to congregate' which means to 'gather into a crowd or mass'. A pastor was just arrested in my home state of LA for having...

    Walton County COVID19 Updates

    Morning. Any info on whether or not the boat ramps are still open, such as Pt Washington? And if open, any talk as to them possibly closing? :thanks:

    Walton County COVID19 Updates

    As of 230pm today, I saw that the sneetches are still on the beaches at Blue Mtn, Ed Waline, Dune Allen and possibly other locations. There was no one there saying otherwise and people were still parking and heading on out. Is there an update that this will be enforced at a later date? Thank you.

    Next week is really going to be a mess...

    That's good news at least! This was at Blue Mtn access #36 at Hwy 83, straight down the steps and to the left, in front of the first two houses. Thanks!

    Next week is really going to be a mess...

    Thanks. I do believe they felt very intimidated. They are visitors to our beaches and are told these are the rules and that they will be fined if ignored. It would take a lot to ignore that. Many can't bring their own chairs and umbrellas either as space is limited or they flew here, etc... But...

    Next week is really going to be a mess...

    Was on beach today at Blue Mtn access and there was a family of 5 without tents but with umbrellas and chairs they had rented. The family was all set up with 2 chairs and 2 umbrellas and beach towels for the kids. The young men working for 30A Shade told them they had to leave. Now, they were...

    On the Music calendar, the standing Thursday night Forrest Williams @ La Playa isn't listed for all of May. Can anyone tell me if that has now changed or was it just left off? :thanks:

    International Coastal Cleanup in South Walton Sep 16

    I will be at Blue Mtn Beach access to clean up my neighborhood beach. Not official location, so I will just bring my own bag & gloves. I noticed today that it needs attention around parking area and of course, the beach itself. SO grateful today that we aren't all out cleaning things up with...

    Please Vote NO on Deceptive Solar Amendment 1 in Florida

    Greetings to all! Long time/no post. :sowal: Are you pro-solar energy? I know I am - I have a home here in Blue Mtn with 21 solar panels. I produce clean energy and any excess goes right out into my neighborhood. For those of you who do not know, there is a very deceptive amendment coming up...

    SOLAR LIFE, inc. (Local Solar Energy Systems Dealer) (Solar panels, heaters, etc!!!)

    This is great news! One of the best things I did when building my house was to install 21 solar panels. My Chelco bill came today and it was $21.27 and that is with the Chelco $26 montly fee. The energy my panels produced, that I did not use, provided clean solar energy for my neighbors as it...

    Hurricane Isaac

    Great info on SoWal! Will stay tuned in. I hope I don't have to test out this bunker of a house and the backup solar but if it comes to that I feel it won't let me down! Good luck everyone! Cross fingers it has the least intensity possible! And hi to all - long time no talk!! Gidget

    Actually this comment is pretty much spot on (you just have to know the song) [my fav is High Hopes Lucifer]

    Recess is going away

    Taking away any chance of physical exercise is absurd. Recess when I was growing up was all about running around so that when we did return to our chairs our heads were cleared and we were ready to focus. How about taking away soda privileges?

    Walton County Schools' Corporal Punishment Policy

    I've never understood why it is legal in some schools for an adult to strike a child yet it is illegal for an adult to strike another adult. Striking a child in any way is just not the way to go about incorporating change. Sure, it may get there attention, but there are better ways - always...

    South Walton couple sues county over weddings

    IDK enough about this - I truly haven't followed it. But I do believe in following rules as Andy and DTI said. In particular, neighborhood zoning laws, picking up after our pets, not littering, not burning, not leaving tents and tarps on the beach overnight, all the things that make ours a...

    Walton County burn ban- Includes Fireworks

    I would like to see a switch from fireworks to laser light shows http://www.lasershows.net/content/view/110/89/ - better for the environment and for wildlife. Fireworks are being blamed for the deaths of 5,000 birds in Arkansas. The professional-grade explosives scared red-winged blackbirds...

    Parade of Homes 2011- June 11-19

    I guess I wasn't looking at it from a decor standpoint as I know those things can be changed to the suit the person living there (I'd never have a tv on my porch or over my tub lol) I was looking at the quality work done on the house - it was so solidly built. We asked about insulation - blown...

    Bike on path or 30a?

    It can be very dangerous. Timing does help. When we are on our 'road bikes' we never ride on the 'bike path' - I feel that is best left to walkers and joggers and those cruising on their slower bikes (what I like to call my "beach bike") We take our road bikes up 30A to 83 and on to 98...

    Blue Gulf Resort

    Does anyone know more about the history of Blue Gulf? I had always thought that the brick homes were affiliated with the military but I heard that they were once tied to the mafia and I want to know more. I heard there was a clubhouse, bar, etc... Thanks! Gidget

    Motorcycle noise on 30a

    Before anyone gets the wrong idea that I don't like the people who are on the bikes let me say that some of my closest friends and family back in LA are bikers. I love them dearly. We've had this discussion before. My gripe is taking a machine that was built to noise compliance standards and...
