Thanks for the early closing time of the public bathroom, SJ. You'd think they could arrange to have it open late for special events and busy times, like from now until Labor Day. Your pics were quite informative, too. Outside Suits trying to redo or rename our community hasn't worked out very well in a number of areas. They should step back and find out where they really are and what makes it so special.

I didn't even think to go, I knew I could get in, but it looked so uninviting, not to mention, seaside is not my place to hang.
That sucks for the band. Glad some of you were there to represent.:clap:

I bet if Seaside actually went to the Seaside business owners and long-term employees at those stores to ask for input, they would have some great suggestions and ideas on how to run the special events. From what I hear, they had zero input. What is even more interesting to me is that Heineken was the only sponsor. Seems like they forgot to use the stores which brought in the 1% Seaside Special Event Tax to help advertise.

It is easy to get lost in all of the Seaside mess, but while I'm thinking about it, I'd like to applaud the person who took leadership and opened the gates to the general public. It is rare to find someone willing to risk losing their job to do the right thing. It is that kind of leadership which is needed so desperately. So, whomever you are, Great Job! You probably saved the show, and certainly lessened the embarrassment for Seaside.

Does anyone know if they opened it for just last night or if they have done it for the rest of the weekend? If they have decided to do that I might feel inclined to go drop some cash at some merchants of Seaside today.

we were at a private party last night at watersound beach club where there were many jazz fest ticket holders (locals) who had decided last minute to wait until today to go to the jazz fest because of the weather. they were very much looking forward to the lineup. I hope there is a good turn out for the event!

Punzy and I went to Modica's to get a drink after the beach today at about 4:30. I think the first act was supposed to come on stage at 4:00. I parked right in front of Modica's and my glimpse of the green revealed lots of unimpeded photosynthesis. No music to my ear. Lots of parking. Also, the 'no parking private street' signs lining a not so busy 30-A looked ridiculous. Sad.
