    Fences at Helen McCall Park

    I'm with Zebraspots. Personally, if I was concerned that my kid was going to be bitten by a snake I would get the ball myself. It is sad to view nature as wrong and in need of 'fixing'. One fence could give way to a complete demo of the swamp and woods. All the critters lose their homes...but...

    Wanted 3 bedroom

    Our family is looking for somewhere to rent until we buy. We are looking to move in June and thought we had found a place until we researched and found we would have a very nasty neighbor (the registered kind). We would prefer a nice yard where the kids can play. We only know of one rental...

    Van Butler Elementary: Is our students' safety compromised?

    I have had my kid in 2 different schools in Walton county and I can attest this is not just a Butler problem. It is district. I truly hope this election brings about some change, our kids deserve much better!

    Is the Ed Walline Beach Cam inoperative?

    Just tried it myself and I got nothing but error message. Tried twice then gave up. Got the Grayton one going so I think its the camera.

    Walton Officials Not Guilty of Contempt in Email Case

    Beware, Ms Harris evidently does not retreat I am sure she will find another way to 'protect' all of us in Walton County with another investigation/waste of tax money. A look through history has shown those who declare themselves saints are far from it. I believe someone is hiding under a fake...

    South Walton TDC pursuing new visitor center site

    Totally agree with shellak. Walton County has become a real hot mess in the last 5 years.

    Alabama -- Shattered

    :floor:Karma's just letting Alabama know they didn't really win it. If my LSU boys would have actually shown up at that BCS game, we would have had that trophy. IDK what happened with all of that but it was the worst BCS game ever because you could tell LSU didn't even want to be there against...

    Is anyone patrolling the beach??????

    JMT hit it about as well as anyone can! Fact is the TDC needs to put the brakes on themselves until the county can actually figure out how to deal with all the tourists the TDC is trying so hard to lure in. I don't blame law enforcement for not being everywhere. I blame the county for not...

    Real Ethics

    I'm not sure any politician all the way up to the top understands what transparency actually means. They seem to have defined it as 'telling people what you want them to believe'. Hopefully the Webster people will not incorporate that definition into the next round of dictionaries. Selling...

    Best Pizza in SOWAL?

    I tried pizza by the sea and will NEVER do that again, IDK how they stay in business. The first time I tried Bruno's it wasn't very good it was just okay-that was several years ago and they owner was out of town. Every time since then it has been good, and it is one of our favorites. Although...

    Stolen Beach Chairs

    I had to reread my response trying to figure out where you got offended and I think it was my reference to helping people and hoping they learned for next time. I should have been much clearer. That was referring to the ones that will bring 4 radios, 2 tents, an umbrella, 3 coolers, a...

    Stolen Beach Chairs

    Beach within your means. It was not directed at you. People in general. Speaking to you: I live with someone that has physical limitations and it is very demanding to plan around. You should not feel bad asking for help. We will all be there one day. A local will be glad to help someone with...

    Stolen Beach Chairs

    Clearly I missed something because I did not see where anyone called any type of handicapped person being lazy. The simple logic is that if you cannot retrieve belongings you should not carry them to begin with. You really do HAVE to learn to travel light. If you look around there are a lot of...

    Recess is going away

    I can vouch that this is definitely a county wide thing. My youngin has went to 2 schools in Walton county, although Bay is not one of them. We actually wanted to move to Okaloosa County at one point because it appears the superintendent here has never raised children. (Sorry Mrs. Anderson but...

    What's with all the dogs on the beach?

    We saw several with glass beer bottles on the beach. I just hope those kids picked them up when they left. We was wondering where the beach patrol was too.

    What do you think about a WalMart in Grayton Beach?

    NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Grayton is too cute to mess up with anything remotely resemling a Walmart. It would kill the soul of Grayton itself! Smallmart is horrible enough. That was an ill concieved plan within itself. Walmart does not need to try to be adaptable. It simply is not. You expect to...

    Local Credit Card Scam

    We have several friends this has happened to also and I was just saying this morning I can not belive the news channel has nothing on it, but you know how our 'news' goes... Hope they hurry up and catch the culprit. Think I am going to steer clear of Publix for a little bit just to stay safer:(

    How do you handle this???

    I'm going to start by saying that I have no idea what restaurant you own so please don't take my comments personally. You also may not need to take your customers behavior personally. It is just business after all. Many people just don't emapathise with the other side of things and they probably...

    Bring Bluebirds to your Backyard @ E.O. Wilson Biophilia Saturday Feb 25

    Your welcome guys! We love the biophilia center. They do a great job teaching the kids what sitting in a classroom can not. The staff is wonderful. It is just a great way to spend a Saturday=)

    Skate Park opens in DeFuniak Springs

    Ahhhh figures :( That is definitely not worth the drive to check out.

    Skate Park opens in DeFuniak Springs

    I tried to check out the link but it would not load. I'm not very familiar w/Defuniak but I'd be interested in cheching it out for my oldest kid. Anyone know what street this would be on? Sounds like they put a lot of time and energy into making it professional grade and adding the equipment.

    Turtle Bob brings his animals to Biophilia Jan. 21, 2012

    Turtle Bob is a wonderful animal lover! If you have never been to the Bio center this is a great day to check it out. We took our kids last month and they keep begging to go back. The hands on approach is so much more educational that any trip to a zoo.

    Wanted: One Month Winter Rental

    I wish you look on finding a place but I have to warn you that $600 for an all inclusive anything on 30A is extremely lowballing. Maybe you will beat the odds and find yourself a place. Good Luck!

    Dollar General coming to Hwy 98 in Sowal

    SoWal we have outgrown our britches! I just had to say that. The corporate world has realized how many people with extensive pocketbooks love our little corner of the world and they are setting in to try to get their share of the vacationers money. I'm sorry but I don't want to live in Destin...

    Sexual assault in Seagrove

    Though I am rather pissed that I heard NOTHING about these incidents despite living in his target area for years and even calling the cops because I thought there was someone lurking outside my bedroom window! That is what is getting to me too. I am proud WCSO does a great job of tracking...

    Please don't price locals out of events!

    Thanks for this post. I understand they make money drawing in all the tourists but giving a discount to locals would help some of us that don't have 'more money than brains' to be able to get out more. Times are not as easy as they were just 6 years ago. If the local venues take care of the...

    30A Coverage Review Request: AT&T vs. Verizon vs. Sprint

    I have sprint and I am really counting the weeks until our contract expires. We can't make calls or get them most of them time unless we are in Destin. So at home our cells are useless. Text messages also are a hit or miss as they often can not send or be received. I've heard Verizon works best...
