    Ebro Greyhounds

    I know nothing about greyhounds, so thanks for educating me on that. Sounds like greyhounds would make excellent pets. Jobs in Ebro -- my thought is that if Ebro Dog Track cared about its future and its employees, it would at least keep an eye on the dogs and dog owners who lease kennels on...

    from Ch7, WJHG (video on link): Panama City - More new developments Tuesday in the case of a man accused of killing more than 3 dozen Ebro greyhound racing dogs. A greyhound adoption agency says the suspect, Ronald Williams, turned over a number of dogs for adoption aside from those that died...

    St. Joe is first major corporation to move to new airport (NWFBIA) property

    BTW, they do have a guy in a long golf cart (low speed vehicle) who drives around the lot and shuttles people to the front door of the terminal building, as needed.

    St. Joe is first major corporation to move to new airport (NWFBIA) property

    I flew out/in a week or two ago, and all parking, short and long term, was filled and overflow parking to the west of long term, had 20-30 cars in it. It is no longer grassy. They have put what appears to be recycled asphalt down as the surface. It isn't any more of a walk than going to the most...

    Ebro Greyhounds

    What did they find? I heard something like 33 dead greyhounds and additionally, multiple emaciated greyhounds. Is that correct? Thinking about the big picture, I'm not sure what all goes on in dog racing, but the racing itself doesn't seem bad. However, it does seem that dog tracks often have...

    External Hard Drive

    I use Western Digital, the basic ones, but I don't throw them around. They make some that are designed to take a beating, but they are bulkier and cost more, but will be more likely to protect your data. On a side note, if your computer has "firewire" you can find firewire external drives, and...

    Droid Users - question

    You probably have some apps running, and don't realize it. First look for your web browser and see if it is open, or a mapping/GPS feature. Both will constantly be sending and receiving data and help to drain the battery.

    Hotel Viridian on corner of 30A & 395 - Seagrove Market location

    If you don't like Viridian compared to the Florida cottage looks of old Seagrove and Seaside, just compare it to something much less attractive, and it will shine.

    And there is also something about having to show that the bank still has the title when they foreclose. Many banks supposedly sold the paper and have no title to show that they can legally foreclose.

    Concrete houses

    concrete block may be cheaper than wood, but you will need a lot more block than you will need wood, and I bet that the labor to lay all that block is much more expensive as it will take much longer to frame. Concrete isn't cooler. It takes longer to heat and cool (much more energy). Roofs...

    Amendment 4

    Just wait until you try and read through a ballot if this passes. Every land use change will be on the ballot. Currently, attempting to educate yourself on any project in a reasonable manner takes much time attending planning meetings and commissioner meetings. Have you ever read the legal ads...

    competiton can be a good thing. I like Publix in general and have gotten used to their prices, which are really high when compared to Walmart, for most everything. I occasionally shop at Walmart, and might be more likely to shop at a smaller store. I'd much rather shop at Watercolor Publix...

    HOA bans smoking on condo balconies

    Without much thought about it, Mango, I would think similarly, that it is violation of your owner rights. However, if you think about all the other hoops some condos make owners jump through, there are many things which prohibit an owners rights, including the length of time you can rent your...

    HOA bans smoking on condo balconies

    I know some condo HOAs which prohibit grilling on balconies, maybe to reduce risk of fire, but also to keep the people on the balcony upstairs to not get smoked out and greased out. I'm guessing that this smoking ban may be more related to the smoke going up rather than the butts going down, as...

    WaterSound Beach new "Amenity Fee"

    melscuba, Though I'm not positive, I don't think the issue is with common areas. I think it is with the usage of things such as bicycles, boats, campfire meetings, golf, etc, which are owned by Noble House, not the HOA.

    You can probably find more info on them if you search by their real common name: Mole Crab "sand fleas" are really something else, but everyone in NW Florida calls Mole Crabs, "Sand Fleas."

    WaterSound Beach new "Amenity Fee"

    That is not the case, bluecat. We love renters. St Joe/NobleHouse wants more rental business in their own developments, and this is their way of discouraging VRBO and other management companies from having rentals in "their" territory.
