Interesting since I've heard that Gulf Place residents have been vocal against music there.
Peace and Quiet. Is it possible in South Walton?

MTV's new reality show ... this should be good for business
"Set in the Florida Panhandle along the beach that stretches all the way to Alabama, "MTV Floribama Shore” is the story of eight young adults who come to spend the summer in the hottest beach town on the Gulf Coast, Panama City Beach, to party it up and put the real world on hold for just a little bit longer. But each is armed with incredible life experiences and standing at a crossroads, whether it’s ending a relationship, tasting independence for the first time, or trying to escape the past. This coming of age story captures the very real thrill and angst of being young and trying to figure out the future with a group of people you’ll come to call family."

Just wait and watch the Adkinson WCSO PR Machine get involved in this some how...
Its not the first time a MTV Reality Show was in the area. Years ago that show Jack A$s with Johnny Knocksville did a stunt on I-10. I think a few actually got arrested here or in neighboring county.
Yes, the MTV Crowd is just what our area needs...
Dave, unless “limited outdoor entertainment “ is defined and the VMU standards are applied for comparability with adjacent neighborhoods, we will continue to have issues.
Dave,
Good article. But from my view the air and the airwaves are free for all shouldn't they be? Historically people have been able to make all the noise and music they want to anywhere. I'm not understanding why you as a private property owner think that you have the "right" to peace and quiet on your own property when the air is free for everyone to use and customarily has been used to make noise, music, etc for centuries.
Why do you view this music as a disturbance that should be stopped? I believe there should be a customary noise use ordinance for Walton county and plan to introduce it at the next meeting. Music should be allowed without restriction - especially if it's a hired band - that's good for tourism. As long as the band stays within 15 feet of your property line then it should be ok?
Let the airwaves be FREE for all!!!
[spoiler: Dave, Hope you don't mind I'm just having a little fun. I happen to agree with you 100% on the noise issue but couldn't resist]

I honestly don't see what the draw is for South Walton. Traffic, crowds, and yes, noise. But at least it isn't part of the "Redneck Rivera" anymore. Now it's snob central with prices to match. And you might get run over by someone on a bicycle.
There has always been live music in this area and the businesses that host it would have gone under a long time ago if it wasnt popular. This seems like another example of a bunch of people moving into and area and trying to change it to suit them. And Dave even YOUR establishment had live music (as well as the amphitheater) for many years. Just because you chose to stop doesnt mean everyone has too. South Walton has always been music/musician friendly and if it has to come to another "SAVE THE MUSIC" march down 30A I am sure it can and will be arranged. Obviously jordana didnt do alot of research into where she was buying/building or she would have found out the definition of "limited outdoor entertainment" varies from state/county. These places that host live music have been here alot longer than most of the people that live here now and compromised on the hours and loudness years ago when this issue came up before. It is not the county OR the residents job to "make the public aware that they could be living adjacent to a venue that allows unrestricted outdoor music until 10pm with no recourse." That would fall under "researching where you are moving to" not just barging in and trying to change an area to suit you.
In case some of you dont remember or were not here for "SAVE THE MUSIC" back in 2008 there are a couple of threads on this site that will inform you on how and why the current noise ordinance came about. Just type "SAVE THE MUSIC" into the search function and they will be on page 2. We were not ready for SOWAL to become a retirement community back them and I am sure that there are still plenty of us that STILL dont want it to become one.
