We all love So Wal but what in your opinion is lacking? A food delivery service, horseback riding, etc. What do you really wish would locate in the area?

Well once again, speaking of PC, the answer to the "Parks" question is PC-B, Panama City Beach that is. Frank Brown Park is about a 20 minute drive from 30A, but well worth it. Ball diaomonds, soccer fields, rugby, basketball, tennis, swimming pool, security, its all there. Clean and extremely family friendly. Easy access and lots of parking. Unfortunately the grass has too high $$$$ on it here to use it on parks or playgrounds.
Yes, a great park......

I thought Frank Brown Park was restricted to league and tournament play, and that the public was not welcome to use the fields unless they signed up on a team and paid the fees. Do you know differently?
HMMMMMMMM, I dont know about that....when Little ibd plays soccer it seemed that there were people out there just playing on a field. I guess calling would be the best bet.....

If a large childcare facility located in Freeport, how many parents from So Wal do you think would drive there for child care? One of my best friends lives in Freeport and is a realtor, we are in shock that a few things are locating there but the town still has no decent grocery store. She and I laugh now at the demand, when we were growing up nobody really wanted to live there. Of course we are also furious with our parents and grandparents for not buying up all the beach. Its funny how nobody wanted it back then because you couldn't grow anything on it.

Come on, are you saying that Kelly's is a decent grocery store? :roll:

When my mother was on "restriction" due to chemo and wasn't allowed to go anywhere she might pick up an infection, I forbade her to even enter Kelly's.

My guess is that you could fill up several buildings full of SoWal kids every day.

Day Care business would be well received for sure. My guess is that the liability would be extremely high, and enough to scare me away. Finding qualified and reliable people to help supervise the kids would also prove to be difficult. I am sure they exists, but you would have to work hard to keep them. As for the Freeport location, I think it would depend on your location in Freeport. The closer to SoWal, the more filled it might be.

a place to get your oil changed, wind shield wipers installed, other similar services for vehicles. Something like the SuperLube's in Tallahassee.

The Shell station on the south side of 98, in Miramar, has a Quick-Lube service that I recommend.

I think IBD is right about Frank Brown Park. Sure when they are having tournaments and such the fields would be reserved, but that is status quo for any such park. I believe the hours available/reserved would be posted. I'm sure there is someone you could call. I'll look into it myself.

drunkkenartist: You are indeed amazing. :clap_1: This recreational center looks pretty amazing, too. I drove through it about a year ago, but next trip I'll do some swimming there, maybe even try out one of their health classes. I've been looking for a heated pool in winter. My day trip would include my typical ride to Home Depot or Ace Hardware and a trip to the new Target to get whatever I need for the cottages, then some swimming/exercise in the pool.
