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...

Are there any other internet providers along 30A in SRB / BMB/ Grayton, or does Mediacom hold all the cards????

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...

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?

Just a gentle reminder in case I missed it somewhere on here... The Seaside School Half Marathon is this Sunday (the 19) from Seaside to 393 along 30A. Race starts at 0645 and ends at 1000. Be sure to plan ahead if you need to be somewhere during that time and have to drive on 30A as access...

Looking for recommendations... We are leveling our house in SRB in April and are building a new home in its place. In front of our current home is a cluster of sego palms that we want to keep. We're trying to see if there is a landscape company out there that either can remove and hold them...

Does anybody know the status of Mediacom in the Santa Rosa Beach area...namely right at Goat Feathers? Haven't been able to "see" my thermostat or alarm camera since 3:30AM yesterday morning... Thanks!

I don't normally do this, but when I have a really positive experience I like to share it. There are a lot of questions about roofers that pop up on here because, let's face it, Florida is brutal on roofs. We just had Providence out, today, to do some work. They have been taking care of us...

SRB Golf and Beach Club in 1988ish. We were member numbers 51 and 52 (grandparents). A much simpler time...

I can't find the old thread that was the "Where is it?" game so here's a new one. This was taken in 1966. Where is it? The house in the background on the left is still there!

Is the trolley running up and down 30A this summer?

Where can I take trash items like old wood / lumber, bad microwaves, a bad flat screen TV, etc? Is there an active public landfill anywhere?

Anybody know how long the west side of the Longleaf Greenway trail between 83 and Satinwood Dr in SRB is going to be closed? When I was down last week, I went for my normal trail run and found it closed due to logging.

Anybody having connectivity issues with mediacom? We have Tv, but our internet and phone has been out all day...

Did some snorkeling and diving on the the jetties in Destin back in August. Just got around to rendering the video last night. Some pretty interesting stuff. I was amazed at how noisy fish are. On the day we snorkeled it sounded like we were in a pan of frying bacon. On top of that, the pin...

For any of you who have 30A Song Writers tix, I urge you to get by Old Florida Fish House tomorrow night and Pandora's on Sunday night to see my friend's band, GuruFish GuruFish The singer and I have known each other for years. They tight, funky, and eclectic. You will not be disappointed...

Hi all... The Mrs is in SRB at the house, and I'm here in Atlanta, and it appears she has something going wonky with a tooth. Lots of pain. I googled "dentists near 32459" and sent some numbers, but it appears most do not work Fridays. Do any of you out there know of a Dentist that is...

Uh...pretty sure that's Christie Brinkley's knee, but I sure had to look a few times to be sure!

Did a little diving last Friday (8/1) on the jetties in Destin. Gotta say it was way better than it was in May when the rivers were still overpowering the high tide surge. Water was clear with tons of fish. High tide hit right at 1:30 so it was nice and bright. Make sure you change your...

This ran in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution. Just a reminder that it is turtle season. Please fill in any holes you see left on the beach! This happened somewhere in Sowal according to the article. Never saw anything about it on the board... "Finding an endangered sea turtle tail up...

Hi gang! Typically, the Mrs and I are off season visitors, but I'm trying to bring down a group sometime in the summer. How crazy is it over Labor Day weekend? I know it's the last holiday before school really gets cranked up, but with the school year changes here in ATL, I don't know how...

Hi Sowallers! Looking to see if there are any good Samaritans out there. The wife and I were down last week and came home, yesterday. After checking the weather, I decided to leave my motorcycle in the garage and not drive it through the monsoons back to ATL. My plan is to fly down...

Hi gang! I replaced all the 2ft high lattice around the inside of our porch while we were down for Christmas. I need to haul it off when we come back in three weeks. Where is there a dump or landfill that will accept construction debris or busted up lattice? It's wood... thanks!

Good morning, campers! The Mrs. and I will be down the last three weeks of the year. I don't want to let my daily fitness routine go by the wayside while I'm down there. Are there any fitness centers in the area that will sell guest memberships that have decent weight machines and facilities?

Got a call from ADT. Our alarm is going off at our house. Tried my mom who is staying there alone. No answers on her cell or home. Police have been sent to the house. Can somebody please call me ASAP 678-360-1846 who may be in the area and can run by the house? It's in SRB...

What's the name of the new place that went into the old Ballyhoo's location in SRB? I can't find it in the forum. Is it still there, and how is it doing?

Are there any venues in and around the Sowal area that have rock bands, anymore? I know the Noise Police all but did in Sowal, but does anybody know of any places where rock bands play?

OK...first of all I am sheepishly admiting that up until this past Friday I had never eaten at Haus of Klaus nor even knew where it was. Mrs. SC picked me up at the PC airport on Friday, and on the way back, we decided that we both wanted to eat. Somehow we landed on trying the Pickle...

Hi gang! I need input. We have been told by our insurance company that our roof's life will run out too close to our policy renewal date (It has been 23 years), and it will need to be replaced before June. I want to try to get some roofers out during the next week for some quotes. Do any...

I know about Old Florida Fish House, but are there any other shushi joints out there that any of you would suggest, and how do they rate against OFFH? Thanks!

Hi gang! This year for our new Christmas addition we decided to do the Nutcracker. Right away you should see the folly of that. It's a ballet. We're a vocal group. We decided to write words... . . . . . . lots and lots of words. :bang: Now, men don't typically talk about their...
