Ah, thanks for the correction, Franny, you beat me to it! She remembered last night that Barbarosa was the name of their development company, La Pergola WAS the restaurant.

My sources suggest the restaurant was Barbarosa... Run by Dr Davie's son, Gabe.

Don't know if anyone here happens to know who owns the sailboat moored on the west side of the bridge, but it has slipped its moorings and the chop on the bay is causing it to knock against the rocks. Going to cause some damage if it's not dealt with soon...

My family has found that it's just as effective to get the cheap, black plastic garden pots and spray the Tanglefoot (adherent) onto that and hang. Same effect, a lot less work! They need to be hanging, though, because the movement attracts them. Good luck!

Remember the LSV IS a motor vehicle and 30a IS a highway! Respect the rules of the road and don't let your 8 year old drive...

A friend's daughter is selling them-- they've already done the pre-orders so now its just whatever she has in stock, but she said she's got a lot left... She is at work right now but said that she would contact me on her lunch break. PM me with your information and what you're looking for and...

Two cars, doesn't look too bad, but it's a bad location to have traffic backing up in three directions... Sheriff and fire department on the scene clearing it, may want to steer clear of that area for a little while until they get it under wraps...

Hmmm... Pretty sure my 'rents have his name, address and phone number stamped on their boy's collar, but just to be sure... He's not big, black and overly lovable wearing a jaunty green bandana from the groomer's is he?

Was at Publix this afternoon and was talking to one of the employees about the weather. Had a young man behind me speak up and ask, "What's the deal with the two red flags? Does that mean it's illegal to go in the water? It's got an X over the swimmer, but the water doesn't look so...

Oooh! Me! Pick me!

Nope. Believe it was '83 -'84... along with several other "oldies" like Emerald Hill, Beachside, Hidden Beach, etc...

Thanks, RTR! I don't know about Cowgirl Kitchen but, as I work at the Market, I don't mind addressing that question. Lunchtime service IS a little different, in that you don't have just ONE server but a whole team of servers who are working very hard to give you the best possible experience...

Ha! I completely agree, Treefrog! It's an old tradition for my brothers and I, whenever my elder brother is in town we wake up early and drive to DH to pick up donuts before anybody else is up... it's a special treat since it's so far away--I can't have it all the time... Inlet Beach is waaay...

If you are looking to go with a staffing agency, I'd look at Landrum. I know that they have pretty extensive connections in the area, and I know several people who have had luck with great placement through them. Good luck, and welcome to SoWal!

Had a wonderful time at today's ride, as always! Thanks to all of you who make this awesome event happen!

Me! Me! Pick me!

Heartbren, when they give the boil notices it is because there is a current break in a line, they are aware of it, and working to fix it. They WANT to make people aware by giving those notices--I suspect otherwise they would be susceptible to getting sued. I think you can rest easy that they...

I think that drivers turning left onto 98 from 395 are often in such a hurry to get through before the light turns red that they tailgate the car in front of them into the intersection, rather than waiting to make sure there are no cars coming straight across from Pt. Washington. I don't think...

I'm so glad that he's gonna be okay! It was pretty scary to watch... I had pulled into the turn lane and was right at the curve into 395 when it happened and, the way the top of the SUV crunched down, I was so afraid it was going to be much worse than that. Sending lots of happy, healing...

Just happened... a van and an SUV collided. SUV rolled... it may take a while to clean up. Hope everyone is okay...

Just wanted to give a little love to the group I'm pretty sure are from the TESLA Academy... what a great group of kids! I see them out every afternoon on group jogs (?) and they are so courteous! When I ride through on my bike, they fall into single file immediately and call ahead to their...

Gwen, were you able to get some help? Give us an update when you can and let us know that all is well...

Yes, LV2, and there was also a time when there were plenty of scrub oaks, JUST like nature intended. It is because of the lack of respect and understanding of the nature of an area that problems are caused. Skinsharks is correct, those cinderblock houses were built for a reason, by people who...

Here's what I don't get: why all the hostility and snark? I recently (unintentionally) got into this argument on FaceBook when a "serious" biker was offended by a comment that another of my friends had made. I don't have an actual problem with the cyclists themselves--they've got every...

BR, unfortunately, that is exactly the case for many of our guests... I worked in hospitality on 30A for 10+ years (much longer, and still currently if you count the restaurant, but I'm talking about actually being in a position to check new arrivals in). It used to frustrate me terribly...

I haven't said a word about wishing the houses weren't there--they are and that's that. I was referring to people choosing when and where to open the lake, and trying to manipulate its course. I understand your concerns, because you've obviously had a guest leave unhappy. My take on it...

Agreed, Jim. Would much prefer that people stop "re-routing" Mother Nature and let the lakes take care of themselves (as they somehow managed to do quite nicely long before people came along to muck it all up). I've been down to the outfall fairly frequently recently, and fail to see how it...

Don't know where you've been dining, or what tickets you've been seeing, but I know that where I work at the Seagrove Village MarketCafe, the cook's ticket DOES say hamburger OR cheeseburger, and also specifies how it is to be cooked (medium, well done, etc) and, if there is to be cheese, which...

Whoops, my mistake. I looked, and it's within 750 feet... Also, please remember that they are completely prohibited in ALL of the Coastal Dune Lakes, idle speed or not.

IIRC, it's idle only within 800 feet of any shoreline, and they are not permitted to launch off the beach at any time, but do a search and double check, I may be wrong. Best idea would be Destin or Panama City.

Fat Daddy's. Hands down. I like cheese, with feta cheese on top. And, they have fantastic breadsticks. :o

Jnealy and Snealy are referring to the Seagrove Village MarketCafe, on 395 just a few doors down from the corner of 30a... we serve fish, shrimp AND oyster sandwiches, poboys and baskets for lunch and dinner, as well as a whole slew of other great menu items, and we've got a terrific kid's...

:wub: A mahvelous time was had by ALL! Thanks again, TT!

WooHoo! This looks like it's shaping up mahvelously! Can't wait to see everybody! Thanks, TT, you're the bestest! :clap:

I'm with Toots on this one... I LOVE the "Fall Back" time change... HATE "Springing Forward". But then, this is my favorite time of year all around, anyhow...

I can also bring some assorted food stuffs... May be able to talk TillerJeff into joining us with his wench (for MK) and his wench (ahem... I mean... lovely bride... :wub:)... Gonna be FUNN! :D

WooHoo! My vote goes for Saturday... I can probably bring the Man that night, too... Friday would be a little tougher for me, but I could make it work...

Yes, ma'am! Are you offering??? :wave:

I'm always up for a good bonfire! Let me know if you get enough takers... I can probably drag Scooterbug out, too...

Freeport Pet Clinic, all the way! Drs. Barr and Baxter and their staff take phenomenal care of my whole family's (huge) brood... 7 dogs, 2 cats, assorted ferrets... they've cared for them all, and you can tell they really care about the animals, they're not just another account... Great...

These guys have moved into the tree across the lake from me, and they are absolutely stunning... I've been watching them for a few days, but today it was like they were posing for the camera... So peaceful. :wub:

My favorites on 30A are Pandora's (big, fat, starchy steak fries!), Flip Flops (big, fat, starchy string cut fries!) and Sally's (frozen, fat, starchy crinkles fries!)... Can you tell I don't care for 'em crispy? Truth be told, I never met a french fry I didn't like :drool:, but I do like...

:D You, my dear, are the classiest of the classy. :wub: And, for the record, I don't know a damn thing about your income. :wave:

I tend to agree with HippieChick--the phrase "lower class" hit my sensitivity sensor as well. How about we amend that to "lower income". Some of the "classiest" people I know have lower income than many. Might come off as nit-picky to some, but I believe that words have power. You should...

Crowded Saturday night? Yes. Sunday night? Probably. Monday night (the actual holiday)? Nope. Dead. Zip, nothin', nada... Not the restaurant where I work, and not the two or three others that I know workers for off-hand... they may have gotten a slight bustle a little early in the...

DEFINITELY the panne cotta... :D (I've got a killer sweet tooth, and often fail to remember the meal before the dessert... :idontno: I DO know that I sampled many of my fellow diner's meals, in addition to my own, and EVERYTHING was FABULOUS!) Enjoy! :wave:

Be sure to watch out for your pets, too. My dog, Daisy, got snakebit last week while she was out playing in the yard. The snakes are definitely out and about right now!

Wasn't me! I promise! :wave: I generally have no issues with the road bikers, so long as they are being courteous and not riding two or three astride (which, yes, I've seen many times...) I have much, MUCH bigger issues with the morons who decide to start walking across 30A (nowhere NEAR a...

I don't believe it's an issue of learning how to ride a bike. Our area is a tourist community (not that the locals don't bike, too--we do!) and that particular stretch is heavily used, particularly by families staying in Watercolor, Seaside and Grayton. Living in Seagrove, it often makes me...

Absolutely agree! I cross that bridge daily, and it scares the bejesus outta me because I am constantly seeing families with small children wobbling across while the cars are whipping around them... It's dangerous enough for adult riders who have good control, but because it is a path commonly...
