    Bike Haters

    I have seen plenty of rude on both sides as well. Not so much from solo cyclists, but from the groups. Riding in single file would be the safest for everyone. I do not speed on 30-a and in my truck I am often hassled by drivers behind me wanting to blast thru seagrove at 55. There are...

    78,000 sf Walmart coming to SoWal [opening June15]

    I have some friends in ATL who just landscaped a walmart parking lot and grounds in Eufalla. This walmart looks nothing like "walmart". Very nice indeed. Different signage, a smaller lot, and some class. the landscaping involved $300,000 worth of trees alone. Hopefully this is...

    78,000 sf Walmart coming to SoWal [opening June15]

    I don't think the Wal Mart in itself is bad for the area, but we are in danger of over building. Think about the Grande Blvd. complex. Grande Blvd has many of the same stores as the Destin Commons. It creates no excitement and really adds very little to the area. Do they even have a Santa...

    What's in your garbage?

    A was at the dump a couple of weeks ago. There were about 10 inmates working in the big garbage building. they were going through the trash, picking out and sorting into sseveral areas, plastic, glass, metal. The inmates who do that are trustees. They are not exactly paid, but do get...

    Scallops in Cape San Blas, anyone get any?

    I was wondering if anyone has been scalloping yet. Last year we went to cape san blas around the state park and could not find even 1 scallop in 2 days. I've heard there is supposed to be a "bumper crop" this year. I was hoping someone has been and could share how it was this year so far...

    Bike Path

    For me, working all day on 30-a driving is a daily challenge. We all have to be carefull. The bike path in Seagrove has so many side street blind spots. Cars can't see people and people can't see cars. I have to inch up to the path in a lot places and just keep creeping hoping no one is...

    Hit and run in Watercolor Publix parking lot

    Walton county's finest hard at "work" I have had only a few dealings with the local five0's, and they have always been very polite and professional. But ask them to do something, and they will find all kinds of ways to not do it. When I want them to just leave me alone, that is not a...

    Is Blue Mountain Beach as nice and wide as Grayton Beach?

    You will be better off in BLue Mt. if you can't get Grayton. there are many places in BLue Mt that are right on the beach, so very little walking or driving. There is also an area called Gulf Trace (that is TRACE not PLACE) that is just to the west of Grayton. Very nice quiet little area...

    Hit and run in Watercolor Publix parking lot

    TillerJeff I am sorry to hear about your experience. I sincerely hope they get this a$$hole. I ride too, and have seen some pretty crazy stuff from others on the road. While riding last weekend I ran into some friends at ThunderBeach. They got Ed Walborsky involved in a situation for a...

    Is Blue Mountain Beach as nice and wide as Grayton Beach?

    Not quite. It's nice though. The beach in Blue Mt. is more like Seagrove, there is a high bluff most places. The main public access there has restrooms. there are also restrooms at Ed walline and The access behing goatfeathers. all three accesses are very nice, but tend to be a little...

    hard decisions require leaders II

    I recently posted a question about what our county commissioners should be doing for their county during this painfully obvious time of need. General consensus was that our commissioners should not do anything. That's good I'd hate for them to have to totally change their business philosophy...

    What are our county leaders doing for us.

    Well, I haven't had time to check on this forum in a few days because I have been too busy involving myself in local government. first I noticed a story in the walton sun about the difficulties faced with doing business in walton county. Then I noticed a story about a company that wants to build...

    What are our county leaders doing for us.

    I don't consider my self to be a whiner. I have created jobs (only 2 though). I am not part of the problem. This is not a New problem created by our current economic situation. You are right, whining will not draw new jobs. Sound leadership will though, and a commitment to bring some...

    What are our county leaders doing for us.

    Yes ,I agree it is not the commissioners job to stimulate the economy. BUT, it is the commissioners job to make the county work. For most of us full time residents without an investment portfolio, or a job in another state, we are broke 50% of the time. Families do not move to Walton...

    What are our county leaders doing for us.

    I don't know very much about gov and how it all works, but are the commissioners just going to let our county slowy die out? Business after business is closing around here with no end in sight. Is there something they can do to attract some business to our area?? We have so much rural area...
