    Yellow flies are here! Have fun hunting them!

    So, cobalt works. I counted 9 flies just now. Impossible to use the black one next to it as a baseline, as it’s reused from last year. Dave, My hand swatted versus bitten ratio, as of today, is 1-0 in favor of the good guys.

    Yellow flies are here! Have fun hunting them!

    Have the black ball from last year. Re-coated with tangle trap using a spray can. Paired it with a blue beach ball hung in tandem. (Northern states swear by cobalt blue as an attractant.) Will report back later with results. Nothing soothes a yellow fly bite like killing the fly and all its...

    Finish the sentence: You're So SoWal If...

    You've gotten more than one mean stare from tourists or part timers after telling them they can't ... Come on your porch and stare in your window. Ride a golf cart on the bike path. Let their 11 year old drive it. Drive counter clockwise in Seaside. Drive clockwise in Rosemary Beach. Park...

    Misc Seanest Village

    Technically, it did in this last cycle. A number of new homes have been built and sold. Also, the lots have come up quite a bit. They were $45k at the bottom, only a few years ago. Now, asking price is between the high 100s and the low 300s. Seanest is an interesting development. There...

    Sea Lice

    Purple flags indicate marine pests. Can mean anything from juvenile jellies to sharks. They were flying the other day. Don't know why this is national news.

    Dangerous Situation Developing in Blue Mountain Beach

    I would simmer down a little on the beach sign thing here. Looks like they want to keep tourists (and especially their kids) off the dunes. The dunes are what stand between us and a hurricane surge. It drives me up the wall when a family from Atlanta lets their kids trounce all over them and...

    Misc 30A Real Estate Prices

    I mean. What I see there is the opportunity to develop the property into like 4 separate parcels, gaining ingress and egress through the duplex compound to its west. If you can't do that, then I wouldn't look at it too seriously. I wouldn't buy one without the other. 1.5M for the 2? Would...

    Misc 30A Real Estate Prices

    I've seen an article on SoWal somewhere putting the "line in the sand" at 7 months. That may be the case when you take into account all of 30A or all of 30A + Pt Washington, etc. For the communities that have HOAs, strong rental interest, and amenities, we chew through that kind of...

    Misc 30A Real Estate Prices

    I work a lot of WaterColor (30A's most popular community by sales), Rosemary Beach, Grayton, Seacrest Beach, etc. What I am observing is this... Sales are strong. -WaterColor, for example, is on track to sell even more houses this year than last year. Meanwhile, homes on the market in the...

    Spring Break Shenanigans

    Happy St Patrick's Day! I just realized that random noise I heard while driving through Watercolor yesterday was actually an egg that struck my front quarter panel. I mean, seriously? Million dollar beach houses, and they are throwing eggs? Any suggestions from fellow SoWalers? I was...

    DOT to remove signs

    If they remove the signs, I won't know who to vote for. I base my ballot decisions purely on who has the most corrugated plastic along busy roadways.

    Time to Short JOE Stock

    Coondog is correct. Everything else is just noise. You have to make profits. Trading land for cash is not profit. And increasing the book (accounting) values of the land is also not an operating profit. You have to make and sell something, or sell a service. The way I see it, JOE really isn't a...

    Kudos to whomever refurbished instead of tearing down an old house

    Hey Kurt. Houses here that aren't gray, taupe, or pastel on the exterior need repainting every 5-10 years. A heavily rented house will need new interior paint every 2 years. Its floors will need refinishing after 5. "Functional obsolescence" is what we realtors say when we mean "old and ugly...

    30A Pedestrian Path

    The timpoochee trail is a unique feature here. Very sad it's underutilized by bikers and pedestrians and over utilized by inappropriate activity. Needs some maintenance. Bed tax!

    ice cream trucks

    Anyone else know about the construction crew lunch truck? White pickup with coolers in the back. If you speak enough Spanish, you can get a hearty meal... That has 0% chance of having been prepared in a certified commercial kitchen.

    Share the road?

    You know... 30a is pretty crowded. And despite having a bike path, the spandex crowd still wants to ride on automotive blacktop. I suppose that is all fine and well. But something yesterday got under my skin. I was driving through Alys Beach. I stopped to let a family on beach cruisers cross...

    I don't trust them either. I hate the noise pollution. Plus, you know they aren't local.

    Coastal Dune Lake Buffer - Clearing Permits Required

    In other news, the buffer distance also applies to building codes now- rendering most undeveloped property up to a football field away from the lake unusable for many applications.

    School Referendum August 26, 2014

    I want our school south of the bay to be as nice or nicer than the ones north of the bay. I'm hearing that is not the case; and that the lion's share of county revenue comes from tourism.

    Car dealerships in Destin or Panama City

    They are all crooks. It costs very little to ship a car compared to the spread in markup. Get on the horn and scare up exactly what you want from 2 or more car dealers and start a bidding war. Don't be surprised when you've saved $500-1,500.
