Everywhere you turn there is new commercial and residential building going on. Big, Big BIG projects. It will soon be bigger than Gulf Shores and Destin combined with room for development along front beach, middle beach, and back beach roads. Not to mention all the land north of back beach road to the bay and up Hwy 79 to I-10 and along Hwy 20, and the north bay road. No wonder St. Joe wants an airport.
ps - The new Target at Pier Park is about 1/2 built.

I've seen reports that a lot of people who put down deposits for preconstruction condos are walking away from their deposits rather than going to contract.

No wonder St. Joe wants an airport.JOE Owns much of the property to the north of and along Back Beach Road (hwy 98). It is rapidly getting built. Won't be long before I stop going year round. Traffic was lighter today for me, but on my way home, the traffic going east over the bridge was backed up for about 2 miles.

Greed has a way of knocking a man back down to where he should be. This education comes in part from personal experience (not in this paricular circumstance though -- I learned my lesson long ago and I am better for experiencing it. ;-)

Amp22 - PCB needs something besides WalMart. I was down less than a month ago, and the only thing at Pier Park was a hugh mound of dirt, which I assumed was going to be Target. If that is the case it couldn't possibly be 1/2 built so I was wondering if I missed something :idontno:

half built means that 3 of 4 outer cinder block walls are erected. I almost took a photo of it today, but I opted for a cool sky photo instead. 😀

I love your pics! Did you get that new camera that everybody's been asking you about?

Yes, but I haven't had much of a chance to play with it. It, unlike my old one, will focus when zoomed in. 😀 This photo was taken from the Cove, over looking the Bay in Panama City.

Well, I was over that way again today, and here is a photo of the new Target, the first building under construction at Pier Park. This photo taken from the south west side of the building.
