    One from the WAYBAK machine...

    I tried finding an old aerial photo from 1973-ish but couldn't. If anyone can find one, please post, and I'll fill in the gaps. Hoping long time locals like Joyce Sunday can add to this. This is a current view. Here's what I remember... A: The dock pilings from my original pic above B: The...

    One from the WAYBAK machine...

    Driving directions to YMCA Camp Harold Baird on Oyster Lake in Dune Allen. Went there in '72 which may have been its last year. If not...within a year or two tops. The second picture is all that remains that is easily visible...the pilings to the swimming dock. There are the remnants of a...

    Tornadoes cause damage in SoWal area 1/9/24

    Except for the fact that 11 miles in 3 minutes is 220 mph which twice as fast as the recorded wind so, yeah, something ain't right. Just sayin...

    Eden Gardens Fall Film Series

    Such a classic! The young "son" was my cousin's cousin from DeFuniak. I remember my folks taking some friends to tour Eden, and on our way in we saw a broken lower window. We asked what happened, and they just said that a movie had been filmed there. We saw the film when it was released and...

    South Walton Beach Access Updates September 2023

    Is the 393 municipal parking facility going in where the cleared lot is just north of Gulf Place? The one that has all the carrots on the fence wrapping?

    help with tenant rights in florida

    I'm only pointing out facts in the story. You title says "help with tenant rights in Florida". The biggest hurdle your son is going to have to deal with is that he is not the tenant. He does not have tenant rights. His girlfriend does as she is the one on the lease. The issue at hand is...

    Shark Attacks In South Walton

    We don't get any more or any less than what is considered "average", IMHO. 2005 was a bad year with two fatal shark attacks...one in Miramar Beach and the other in Cape San Blas. Both were confirmed bull sharks in low visibility conditions. Back when I used to fly a lot I was always amazed at...

    Great electrician!

    I have to give shout outs where shout outs are due. We had a wall of power receptacles mysteriously stop working 2 days ago. We found David F. Smith Electrical out of Panama City. David said he'd be here at 0800, today, and was here at 0800. He found the issue and had it corrected within 20...

    Pho?

    I'm on a new Vietnamese pho quest. There used to be a place in Destin called My Pho King Dumpling that was great. Covid did it in. Since then I haven't been able to find any new places in the SRB that have good pho and bun. Does anybody know of a place that has it?

    Looking for a restaurant serving Flounder

    Okaloosa County making preparations for possible sargassum accumulation. Report

    The big belt that is making the news is coming across the Atlantic. Anything that makes it into the gulf has to sneak past the tip of Florida, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. I can't imagine it will be too horrible on the north side of the gulf.

    Traffic Signal Coming to MC Davis Blvd and US98

    Yup! My dad always referred to the wall of signs as the hurricane barometer. When it would get too high a storm would come through and blow them down!

    Beach Code Enforcement Officer arrested for stalking

    I know nothing about this guy except for what I have read, recently, but what I want to know is how a code enforcement officer affords to live in a $2.1 million dollar beach home just off of 30A in Dune Allen. Again...I know nothing of this guy's back story. Maybe he's independently wealthy...

    Blue Mountain Beach Access Destroyed, Rebuilt, Reopened!

    I think somebody heard the dulcet sounds of the Dukes of Hazzard theme song as it careened over the edge! That's some scary stuff since she had to have gone through two separate stop signs before going over the edge. Good thing it happened at such an early hour. I think I read somewhere that...

    Airport Transportation

    There just aren't that many drivers in the area. Scheduling helps for sure, but there may not be a driver right when you need it. Having driven for Uber, it will get sent to the closest driver when they finish the ride they are on. Unless it has changed the app doesn't send somebody to wait...

    Golf carts becoming major safety issue in Walton County

    I don't know about Scottsdale, but at Mackinac there's no other choice. Are you referring to the island or to Mackinaw City on the tip of the peninsula? No vehicles are are allowed on the island except emergency vehicles. You either bike, walk, or take the horse drawn carriages.

    Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) Laws of Walton County

    For riding a motorcycle or for a mountain getaway? Great day trips to Blue Ridge which has turned into a neat artsy town. Dahlonega is a good destination. There's Amicalola Falls. If you're looking for hiking, just drive north and throw a rock. You'll hit something. If you want motorcycle...
