    Wanted Room or roommate close to the beach/30A

    I miss walking to the beach! I'm looking for either a private room & bathroom to rent, or someone similar to me in lifestyle, who wants to find a place to rent together, south of 98, less than a mile from beach access. It is near impossible to find a decent, affordable one-bedroom place within...

    Lost Cat!

    He's still missing :( though lots of folks have called to say they have spotted him. There are a lot of long haired black cats out there... Most of the sightings are around Pt. Washington United Methodist Church; I think he's sheltering in the drainage pipes under the parking lot. I've seen him...

    Lost Cat!

    Thanks Tootsie. :wub: You've probably heard me traipsing up and down the street, clanging his food bowl with a spoon. I have searched high and low, all over the 'hood, and no sign of him yet. :( Daisy is getting lots of exercise though, and I've met more neighbors in the past few days than I...

    Lost Cat!

    LOST CAT: Local friends, especially those in Pt. Washington near Eden SP, one of my cats is missing. Please keep an eye out for Little Yum, the not-so-little-anymore black fluffball I found in the parking lot of Pizza by the Sea a few years back. He hasn't been home since Saturday afternoon...

    Found black lab in Pt. Washington

    Black, intact male at the gate of South Walton Montessori Academy. Blue collar, no tags. Very sweet, well trained, loud barker. He has to be gone by carpool at 2:45, so we'll be calling animal control soon. If he's yours, call our Assistant Director Beth Brock on her cell phone 850-240-0670.

    Squirrels in my soffit! Help!

    There are (at least) three that are living in the soffit over my balcony. I do not want to call an exterminator - I really want to deal with them humanely, but don't know how. My only idea is to smoke them out with incense, and then plug the access holes with steel wool & duct tape. I'm just...

    iPhone / iPad 2 screen repair

    As you well know from my laments, do NOT attempt to do it yourself. No matter how handy you are, no matter how comfortable you are repairing jewelry and other tiny items, no matter how many appropriate tools you have. Don't do it. Signed, Lesson Learned

    Camp Creek Lake about to break through

    I've lived on Camp Creek Lake for several years and have witnessed the outfall through many stages. The county is still working on restoring it to the way it was before the oil spill two years ago. At that time (before the spill) the outfall meandered parallel to the shore at the foot (feet? ;)...

    No Man Own's God's Beach.

    While many who read/post here on these forums agree that the beach belongs to everybody, you will not elicit much sympathy because of the rude, immature, and prejudiced way you have chosen to communicate your frustrations. Unless you are a Native American or an illegal immigrant, your family...

    Seagrove Villas Motel Closing August 12, 2012

    This is such a bummer! I was so glad when they re-opened, I loved the concept... On a side note, wouldn't be great if the TDC redirected some of those "Discovery Center" funds and bought the land for a public access/park? We sure could use it...

    Target coming to South Walton?

    My first trip to the silly little Sowal smallmart I was looking for Miracle Gro and a sunshade for my car. They had neither, which was disappointing. I did decide to stay and do my week's grocery shopping, and I saved a bundle compared to what I usually pay at Publix, so that was a good thing. I...

    Smoke?

    I smell smoke; it just started around 11:45 pm tonight... anyone know if there are any prescribed burns or forest fires in the area? I'm by Camp Creek Lake. On the plus side, I just saw a ginormous shooting star while I was wandering around outside trying to locate the source of the smoke.

    "Music in Pictures" offers classical music + art exploration for area students

    It really is! Plus it encompasses two of my personal passions - classical music and art... and I've always been fascinated by the idea of what inspires an artist to create. So many wonderful works of art have been inspired by great music, and there are even several pieces of music that were...

    Are there any good places to eat on Okaloosa Island?

    Are there any good places to eat on Okaloosa Island?

    My favorite restaurant in Fort Walton is Big City American Bistro. Mulhollow's Bistro is also very good... they are both in downtown Fort Walton Beach, just over Brooks Bridge from Okaloosa Island.

    Mediacom Issues

    I know it sounds slow, I was worried that it would be when I signed up, but it's been over a year now, and I am really impressed with how well it works. I can stream Netflix on my computer and on my TV via my Playstation, and it is just fine. It takes maybe 10- 15 seconds for the movie to load...

    Mediacom Issues

    After 2 years of Mediacon, all I can say is DSL is your friend. Centurylink, $30/month tacked on to my phone bill, 3 Mbps = speedy internet, no problems with streaming Netflix instant, and it NEVER goes out. (Man, did I just jinx myself or what?? I'm knocking on everything wood...)
