    Natural Angus Beef

    The steaks were a big hit last night. We purchased two ribeye's and two of the top sirloin steaks yesterday and grilled them up last night for some friends. Great flavor, outstanding price, the sweet potatoes we got from you were wonderful. Thanks FTHOI.

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

    Can I ask what activities you participated in during your youth? Were you involved in a youth sports league? School Band, how about the drama team, the arts, boy / girl scouts, school athletics? If so, where did the funding come from? Did the uniform have the name of a local business...

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

    One main part of my post that you missed was the fact that the local business owners are the ones that make the contributions to the local charities. When was the last time you saw a Wal-Mart youth soccer team, or a Wal-Mart sign at the High School Athletic Fields? My last trip to watch...

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

    Cheaper, Cheaper, Cheaper that is what I seem to read as the most appealing nature of Wal-mart to all the pro Wal-Mart advocates on this thread. One thing to consider while you are spending less at this big chain, is the fact that it is the small, local owned businesses that are the...

    Trouble finding canned pumpkin?

    I bought some canned Organic Pumpkin at For The Health Of It yesterday. They had a nice display of canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie mix, canned sweet potato puree, cranberry sauce and all the Holiday treats. Plus they are local and give to many of the local charities. Peter always treats us as if...

    I'm hoping for some great casual dining recommendations from locals...

    For The Health Of It.... I lived in Miami where we have a large whole foods market, and I find that For The Health Of It offers a lot of the products and they sure have a knowledgable staff. Plus they are locally owned and operated

    I'm hoping for some great casual dining recommendations from locals...

    I have to agree with Gonzo, Shorty's over in Grayton Beach is a new happening spot here in sowal. The food is great and the view of the gulf is outstanding. The prices are good, especially for the quality. As for Gluten Free, For The Health Of It located in Blue Mountain Beach carries a...

    Organic Green Beans $1.89 per lb at For The Health Of It

    I shopped at Ed and Rachel's great store today and was stoked to see all the fresh produce. This is a plus and as Kurt said, a local farmers market all ready here. Great food items, the best massages and local owners. I love it.

    Shorty's Surfside & Topside - Grayton Beach

    The "Off the Leash" Cheeseburger is the bomb. I ate there today and was really impressed. The burger was grilled perfect and the side order of Dawg Fries were a hit. I also tried the Lime soup that was written about earlier in this post. It was fantastic as everyone said. I learned the...

    Sid Braunstien Candidate Intro

    I attended the environmental issues question and answer event last Friday night and came away with a strong respect for Sid. What a kind, genuine man. Sid certainly answered the questions not only from his heart but with great thought. I liked the fact that if he did not know about an issue...

    Beach Property Rights - public/private

    Re: Private Property Owner's Rights Being Attacked kill the rights to use the beach and you kill the business owners. Kill the business owners and you kill the tax base. Kill the tax base and you kill the entire County. Kill all this and then you beachfront owners will have to kill your own...

    Dog Fly Plane?

    I do not use a repellent either. You have a choice to to use on though if you so wish. You claim skin so soft works well for you, so use it. Don't be to sure that your the only local or old timer on this board, some of us have just as many memories and stories.

    Dog Fly Plane?

    Please take some time to really read what you just wrote. Your last sentence here is what all these people opposed to the spray have been saying for over a year. The decision to spray something on all the people whether they want it or not to get rid of a pest that poses no health risk is...

    can you give any details as to the meeting last night, I was not able to attend as I am out of town. Are the dog flys' still at the beach?

    Dog Fly Plane?

    Isn't it too windy to spray anyway? Even if the dog fly plane was still allowed, the past few days would not have be an option as the winds have been too strong.

    Mosquito Control wants to spend $1.2 million for a new poison spray plane

    Florida girl, sorry to have put you on the spot in the above post. I was thinking it would be great to have you on board since you have such a long history in the area, and to represent your proud family tradition.

    Mosquito Control wants to spend $1.2 million for a new poison spray plane

    Thanks... I guess it would come down to having the Mosquito Control Board and Director willing to listen to some alternatives. I think I read in one of these posts that Florida Girl would be willing to look at options. It would be great to get several members of this thread together to discuss...

    Mosquito Control wants to spend $1.2 million for a new poison spray plane

    Skunk and Peaboy Shame on both of you. First Skunk for all the attacks and then Peaboy for the responding attacks. Please get this thread back to the origional topic and that is about the blanket spraying of pesticides. I am still waiting for someone to respond to my questions about what...

    Mosquito Control wants to spend $1.2 million for a new poison spray plane

    This thread has gone from one topic to another all to do with chemicals, sprays, concerns, facts, fictions, beliefs, this study-that study, on and on. The one thing that makes sense to me is having a choice. I like to understand where the research comes from. Who pays for each study...

    Mosquito Control wants to spend $1.2 million for a new poison spray plane

    How many people come in complaining of rashes? Somewhere in this long thread weren't strange conditions such as rashes a concern for the use of Dibram Naled and the pesticides that mosquito control uses? Questions need to be asked?

    Mosquito Control wants to spend $1.2 million for a new poison spray plane

    Does anyone know if other States have banned the use of these types of pesticides. I think I read somewhere that New York State and California did not use this type of pesticides. Someone once told me that Georgia banned it as well. It would be interesting to see what alternative Georgia is...

    Lot 13 Williams Street

    I just passed by this lot. It is a beautiful lot and in a quiet neighborhood. That whole area of S.Wal seems to have a different feel then other parts. Do you know if it will have gulf views from a 3rd floor?

    Surfrider Member meeting

    Why we should Care?

    BMBV I have seen your educated and great responses on this issue for the past 6 months or so and commend you for your input, but this issue is one that we can not get tired of. Maybe that was the intent of the County Official that built the walls in the first place, build them, hide from the...

    Seawalls Built on Public Beach

    Ro is a crook of all crooks. People should ask him to not only recuse himself but ask that he be removed from the building in case any other commissioners are influenced by is nasty presence.

    Nature Walk at Seagrove

    I agree with Kurt here, and I almost always disagree with big development. Mr. Olson has shown true concern for the vegatation and for our community. He did offer a total of $250,000.00 for lights at both 395 and 283 intersections due to the fact that he has teenage children and was at a loss...

    Great Indian Food

    upon this boards recommendation, we ate at Nimms last night. A group of 8 of us ate wonderful dishes created by the Owners. The food was outstanding. Thanks for the post here and the recommendation. we will eat there again and again

    Seawalls

    Our district's Cindy Meadows is an exception to this, partially because of her background as a land planner. We need more minds like hers. Yes we do. We need to make sure we elect people that will work with her and not more like Ro who will simply vote for anything just to oppose Cindy.

    Beach contamination in Seagrove

    Smilin Joe. All we need to do is find the contract between the home owners, the contractor on the sea walls (ro Cuchens) and then the contractor or the person who ordered the dirt (ro Cuchens) Track the dirt that was delivered to these people especially the first instance in Blue Mountain...

    Beach contamination in Seagrove

    Greg may be a good guy caught in the wrong place, but ethics should override all. How can you sleep when your ethics have been robbed from you. It was and still is appearant that the string puller on Greg is Ro Cuchens.

    Beach contamination in Seagrove

    During the meeting in August, Greg Graham took the fall for the actions of Ro Cuchens. That was very clear. We, the tax payers took the hit by paying for the removal of the dirt. There were many people who were told before that meeting took place that nothing could be done about the Red...

    Beach contamination in Seagrove

    The media is the way to go. It gets the information out to not only our local folk, but our neighbors to the east and west. The DEP will be forced to respond if the media gets the news out for us. Last month in the Daily News from FWB, an article appeared with the investigation into Ro...

    Beach contamination in Seagrove

    How are the commissoners going to enforce these laws when one of their own is the one breaking them? Wasn't it obvious during the meetings about blue mountain beach that the illegal dirt was the result of Commissioner Cuchens? Is his crew working on the houses at Seagrove that have the dark...
