Seems Mr. Modica had a heart attack while closing the market yesterday, hit his head hard in the fall and lost quite a bit of blood. Fortunately, Mrs. Modica was there and several people were readily available to perform CPR. He is in the hospital in Pensacola, must wait for blockage repair due to the blood loss. This man is one of the most beloved people in the South Walton community, don't you think? Please keep Charlie Modica, Sr. in your thoughts and prayers. :wub:

I'd like to let Mr. Seaside know that we enjoyed some Buffalo Chicken Bites on the way back to Dallas! We can't get enough of those things! Modica's makes us happy...even on the road back home. :clap_1:

So glad to hear about his good recovery!

I'd like to let Mr. Modica know that we include our trips to his store as a truly good memory each year after returning from our trip to Sowal. Our friends back home don't understand why we go on and on about a small grocery store we visit by the beach.:idontno:

We seem to always be visiting in the afternoon, just as we start itching for a cocktail. I love going thru the checkout lane with just my little cup of white wine, then sitting at the tables outside and people-watching. I could hang out there all day, but with my spending habits, that doesn't help Mr. Modica much!

We'll be there May 17-29, so if you see a blonde girl and dark-headed man, sitting outside Modica's with cocktails and arguing about whether he should buy some Sun-In for his black hair, that's us! Please say Hello!

For anyone not yet posting your message of good thoughts and prayers to Mr Modica, get on it pronto. I will try to print a copy of this thread tomorrow and drop it by the store.

Mr Seaside,

Feel better soon! We love your store and visit every chance we get. Modica Market is the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Seaside. 😱
Take care of yourself. :wub:

:clap_1: :clap_1: I've never even been his market ... but I will have to make a point of going by and supporting the efforts of such a beloved man. Glad he is doing better.

Just returned from Seaside and the market wasn't the same without Mr. Modica running the register, although Charlie Jr. was always there puuting in some long shifts making sure everything was up to the usual perfect satndards. Glad to hear Mr. Modica is improving. The Modica Market seems to be the only constant we can count on when we head to Seaside, with so much change, construction, and demise of our favorites such as Shades (I anticipate the idiots responsible for that decision spending eternity by the fire). Speedy recovery Mr. Modica, and I look forward to seeing you when we return. I'm in the market all day long for my morning constitutional breakfast while checking emails outside, ducking in at noon for that six pack before heading to the beach, and in the evening getting some great meat for grilling. Seaside is you and your are Seaside!
