    Ridiculous Golf Cart Traffic Signs

    What a waste of money and terrible sign pollution. Nobody is going to read these ugly things even if they could. You can't even read anything at the 5mph speed of golf carts. The only thing you can read from the road is "IT'S THE LAW". STOP SOWAL SIGN POLLUTION!!! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A SCENIC...

    Political Billboards

    I remember a dozen years ago when a candidate put up a big sign at 98 and 331 how shocking it was. People were aghast. I haven't seen too many until this year. They are appearing all over our roadsides. Just take a drive from 98 to Grayton Beach and there are more than 6. Or are y'all OK with...

    Centurylink Just Good Enough I Guess

    Watching Centurylink operate I'm pretty amazed that phones and internet work as well as they do. Seems like a handful of techs constantly playing musical chairs to keep it all going. Just happened to be walking down my road yesterday and noticed a couple of things - no telling how long it's...

    Tents Size Allowed On the Beach in South Walton

    Deputies and code enforcement are giving people warnings not to bring them back the next day or get fined. I think this is fair sine it is new. It's best for all for us to limit stuff on the beach. And vendors need to be curtailed. Maybe we should charge for their privilege.

    Realtor & Rental Billboards on Scenic 30A

    @Dawn thanks for the photos - I have noticed real estate competition is heating up and I like you don't doubt many more will start using bigger signs to "keep up with the Joneses". It is in everyone's best interest to halt this with a uniform ordinance limiting to a yard sign on properties for...

    Golf Carts - Street Legal Required in SoWal?

    Yes - street legal is required on county and state roads. They are not allowed where speed limit is higher than 35. The county has made more and more of Scenic 30A 35 mph. The section between Seagrove and WaterSound Beach is about to be lowered I saw.

    Scenic 30a Open - Draper Lake Bridge Construction Complete

    That can't be right. Unless there are 2 contractors? One for demolition and one for construction? Otherwise why close it now? And why in the world would you start anything without all your ducks in a row? Things happen in a process like this and any delays are critical. I would expect a plain...

    Why not just collect as usual and pay out like any other contract? Although it seems complicated if you have to bid it out. How do other locales do it?

    Walton County Sheriff joins with other panhandle sheriffs

    If Trump even sniffs the white house, political correctness will be the least of our problems. He is a good measuring stick of who is brainless in this country. Anyone who actually considers him a serious option. :lol:

    Artisan Square new Mixed-Use Development in Point Washington at Hwy 395 & Eden Drive

    Eden's Landing was made for flippers. If flipping had continued it would have progressed to flipping houses. But folks just got stuck with overpriced lots. I'd bet that Artisan Square will sell, and/or have leases, before or right after breaking ground.

Our failure at nutrition and education about nutrition is reflective of the failure of our education system overall and our problems with...
