    Seaside Wine Fest

    Trying to make it our 3rd Wine Fest, have friends coming down from Atlanta. Had trouble buying tickets (for the Sat Grand Tasting) and there seemed to be a glitch in the website, seeingredwinefestival.com. Did anyone else have the same problem? Wouldn't take my card, and this was late...

    New posts and signs on the beach at Eastern Lake

    Is it legal to post signs on the beach without a permit? I thought you needed permission from Florida DEP?

    Stay off this beach

    In an effort to stimulate the conversation, here are two stories I just heard about. First, Homeowner arrested after slapping phone from woman's hand and here is the link...

    Positive News for Walton County Beach Nourishment Project

    I went to the meeting last night with no real ax to grind. Just curious, more than anything. I would like to give a public shout-out to Jim Bagby and Brad Pickel for running an informative and interesting meeting. They both have more patience than I every thought possible.

    Beach Signs

    I'm certainly not an expert but I thought you had to have permission from the state DEP to place signs anywhere on the beach. I've been told that that is one of the angles the Sheriff Dept. uses when choosing not to arrest alleged "trespassers". To enforce so called private property you have to...

    'Private Beach' sign in Seagrove

They hire security guards to intimidate beachcombers, particularly tourists, and threaten to call the Sheriff's Office. Last summer I got involved and invited the arrest. For the record, everyone...

    CenturyLink DSL problems?

    I was having trouble with my DSL for the last few weeks. The modem kept resetting itself. This past weekend I finally gave up and I called technical support. We determined that yes, after 11 years, the modem needs replacing. Century Link doesn't provide free modem replacement anymore. They want...

    Marie's Bistro

    As you can see, I'm more a lurker than a poster. But I had a great meal at Marie's Bistro tonight and it inspired me to write something. Chef Mike just added a Tuna Tartar appetizer to the menu yesterday that was out of this world and one of the specials tonight was blacken grouper with...

    US Supreme Court says Florida can Widen Beaches

    Howdy. First post as a long time lurker. I live in BMB and I've had a few "discussions" with security guards from the Retreat and Blue Lupine. I can't help but wonder who will be responsible for any beach cleanup required by the oil debacle. Are these properties going to hire private firms to...
