    Recommended doctor?

    So, I have lived here for some time now, but have not found a general/family doctor that I like yet. I am usually pretty healthy, but find myself in need. Who better to ask than the brilliant people of SoWal. Any recommendations?

    no bike path for chat holley

    I assume it is for all pedestrians. Those who cycle in groups typically do not use sidewalks, as you pointed out.

    Comander vs Kramer - thoughts?

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    my point is that people are already crucifying the bcc before there has even been a meeting on the draft. this all originated from the people not the government. if you don't like their response to your complaining go to the meeting and participate, or just don't complain to them in the first...

    Political signs

    $5,000 deposit? That's more than some of the candidates spend on their entire campaign. This seems a little burdensome, but I agree the 26th will be interesting.

    South Walton Mosquito Seat #3

    My issue isn't with the services they provide. It is with some of the decisions and intentions of the board. Within the past year they have wanted to increase their board from 3 to 5 members, and if it wasn't for the news article that brought attention to it it probably would have passed. There...

    Comander vs Kramer - thoughts?

    "I will be supporting Commissioner Comander. I think she is one of the few who actually listens to the people before deciding on an issue, and she usually votes with her heart. I like that." Shouldn't she vote based on reason, logic, and the law? Just because you might not like something or...

    South Walton Mosquito Seat #3

    Mr. Faulk gets my support. I too can't find much on this Jimmy Hendrix and this current board hasn't been great a cutting costs. New blood (no pun intended) will be nice.

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    Didn't this all start because people were complaining about people misusing their property? I don't think the commissioners just decided to pick one of the most controversial issues out of nowhere. This started when people complained to their commissioners and they are now attempting to deal...

    Budget meetings

    You've mentioned this on two seperate threads. What is your source? (you don't actually have to tell me unless you really want to):D At this point it is a little premature to be saying how a five member board is voting on something that hasn't been brought to them. We are facing a budget...

    Where would you go?

    Thank you all. Does Basmati's serve more than sushi? Has anyone tried Cafe 30a or Restaurant Paradis?

    Where would you go?

    Let's just say, hypothetically, you were going to take your wife out to dinner. Nothing to pricey, but nicer than normal, you know, someplace a little nicer than where you take the kids, and one of you can't eat seafood. Where would you go? (Please help! :biggrin:)

    Interim-Director Agreement for TDC

    Isn't Sara Comander running for re-election too? Is she running unopposed? If not who is running against her?

    Interim-Director Agreement for TDC

    I have to disagree with their report of the meeting. The Board's motion was to negotiate 1 yr. agreement with Dawn Moliterno, and then to bring it back to them. They did not sign any agreement last night. I also didn't think it was that heated. There was opposition and they were all respectful...

    Herald-breeze Kudu's

    After all the garbage the NWF Daily was passing around about the TDC story, I was very happy to read Dotty's story. It was an actual news report. It stated the facts and left the opinions out. Thank you again for a well written report.

    Local Review- Thumbs up: KEN'S AMERICAN BISTROT

    I have eaten at Ken's, and I enjoyed it. (Actually I ordered it to go, but non the less I ate their food.) Price was reasonable, and I was stuffed afterwards. They will be a lunch option for me from now on.

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

    It sounds a little like you would like Wal-Mart. Their prices are cheaper and most times you don't have a choice but to bag your own groceries. You said you think it should be set up to where the customer gets the best price, and that is what Wal-Mart has done. They give you the best price...

    trolley Service 30A

    The guy has a successful business already. This would just be another option he offers. If he wants to run two months a year, great. I also agree that if they put public funds towards this that we need to make sure we are ready for it and can support it, but I did not see where they said that in...

    Bob Graham Grayton Beach State Park ?

    The poll doesn't have anything to do with whether or not you like the newspaper. I just thought that this would interest people as this park could potentially have a name change. :idontno:

    Lowering the speed limit on 30A?

    Ok, as soon as Grayton State Park gets developed I will accept changing the speed limit from 45 to 35. Until that happens ride your bike on the multi-use path.

    Lowering the speed limit on 30A?

    I am kicking myself for even adding to this time wasting, shaking my head at every one of your posts, thread. By State Statute, an LSV cannot go faster than 25 mph, so it doesn't matter how much you spend on it; the very best , most expensive LSV will still only travel at 25 mph. And even on a...

    Is Marti Coley a small town version of Ray Sansom?

    Sounds like we might be jumping to conclusions a little early on this one. She worked for the school before she was elected, and she didn't get a raise; her position was changed based on an audit of the school. I don't know, maybe I'm just naive, and trust people to much. I think this one is a...

    Beware the construction on 30A near Butler...

    Because, like North Lake said, it is funded by stimulus money which means it was a "shovel ready" project. There are time restriction on the money and it had to be done now. The contract was actually issued I believe in January. The contractor decided to start it now. They are still working on...

    Lowering the speed limit on 30A?

    I don't think the Friends of 30 A ever said that they wanted to change the speed limit. The idea was brought up to them, so they advertised their meeting about it to see what the community thought. And obviously the majority of the community is not in favor of it, so they dropped it. I was...

    Thanks Kurt. I read this this morning, but couldn't find a link for the story. I was waiting for this to pop up. I'm not sure I like the sound of Bob Graham Grayton Beach State Park. It rolls of the tongue as well as Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.

    Bike Haters

    I am not a cyclist, but I do move over when I meet one on the road. However, can't they ride on the multi-use path? Isn't that what it is there for? Yeah, it might be inconvenient to the rider, but it sounds a lot safer, especially on roads where there is no bike lane.

    Chelco Bill: WOW!

    Our house is about 1900sf. This month was $190. Last month $135. We used 1500 KWH this month, 1000KWH last month, and 850 KWH this month last year. We definitely need to be more aware of what we are doing, but it has been really cold this winter. Oh well.

    Grayton Beach auto traffic all jammed up: meetings & proposals

    Why don't people with boats just use the access off of Defuniak St., that's what I would do if I had a boat down there. That way they would avoid Lydia all together. Even if there are some larger vehicles that will go down Lydia, you can access it straight on if you stay on Hotz and follow it...
