    Perfect Pig Open in Gulf Place

    If you read this entire thread you will see they told me they smoke their product at their other restaurant right here in sowal, Seagrove to be exact. They drive it over to Gulf Place every day.

    Restaurant, cafe, coffee joint suggestions...

    V is great as is Whiskey Bravo, Cafe 30a and many others to the east on 30a. Unfortunately getting there from Gulf Place during spring break and mid summer is almost not worth the effort. We save that for all the other months and stick to the west end during maximum crowd weeks. By the way...

    Restaurant, cafe, coffee joint suggestions...

    As a fellow Michigander who owns a home by Oyster Lake near Gulf Place I say " Welcome" to the west end of 30a. You can walk to some of the best food in south Walton. The Vue on 30a at the beach club just across the road from Gulf Place has the best view on 30a and the food is amazing...

    Stay off this beach

    Just one more reason to look forward to returning to my Dune Allen home in two weeks. I usually walk the beach towards Gulf Place for my morning coffee but will make a point to stroll west so I can walk the beach behind this house twice daily. Like most owners I will carry a sack and pick up...

    Perfect Pig Open in Gulf Place

    I stopped in while dog walking a few mornings ago and they told me they are doing all the smoking at seagrove. The space is really beautiful. It has all the warmth that was missing in that cavernous space occupied by previous eateries. We are looking forward to finally eating there.

    My Wish List for SoWal

    I'm afraid it may remain wishful thinking to hope for a Trader Joes in Sowal. Among their numerous criteria, Trader Joes will only open shop in a neighborhood that has a high density of middle class young families with at least two children who are within walking distance. They also look for...

    visiting the beach with disabilities

    I think The Ed Walline access across from Gulf Place is ramped and the lifeguards can even get you a beach wheelchair to use.

    Best candidate for Republican Party? Presidency 5

    Most of the people I have spoken with think we have several great candidates with real solutions not that there is no great choice. Try picking the best one to appeal to non republicans in the general election is all I'm saying. I would never claim to know what the consensus is among the...

    Best candidate for Republican Party? Presidency 5

    Wow I am surprised there are not hundreds of replies to this thread considering how important it is. I like several of the candidates and will vote for any of them if needed but since our biggest goal is to defeat Obama I have to say (as a part time northerner and part time Floridian) that...

    Where to attach the dog tag

    Thanks everybody for your ideas. It is unfortunate that a leash, a tag, and a paper permit were not enough for the deputy to say "thank you and have a nice day." The ordinance that states only that the owner shall have a permit not that the dog will wear the tag on the collar. I am not going...

    Where to attach the dog tag

    Yesterday at 7am I was told by a sheriff on the beach that my dog's beach tag is improper because it hangs at the top of the leash and not his collar. Three years ago, after he lost THREE tags in one year the people at the clerk of court suggested I affix his tag to the top of the leash or my...

    Christiano's ?

    It's on the north side of 98 in the same strip mall as the Steamboat Bar and Don Pedros. Its actually in the same place Guglielmo's used to be. Chef/owner Chris Chirum has been around the area for 18 years (Elephant Walk) and he has done a fine job with the decor, service and food. Its our...

    Fire Relocating to Gulf Place

    It just keeps getting better and better for us Dune Allen foodies. Use my car less and less when I'm in town. Welcome Fire to our end of 30-A.

    Please help me with my annual search for new restaurants.

    Criolla's is gone so you can forget that and we stopped going to Fish Out of Water because its too fareeezing cold for us girls in our spaghetti straps and sandals. Its one thing to bring a wrap but another thing to haul out socks mid meal. Gravel Road is great and the food is wonderful in...

    Is there a glass company near 30A?

    Dave's glass is really reasonable. Its a free standing building on the north side of 98 just east of 393.

    Best Route to Seagrove Beach from I-65?

    65 to Georgiana used to work but so much of 331 is 4 lane divided we now save about a half hour by exiting 65 at exit 168 in Montgomery. Get on 331 and take it all the way to 98 in South Walton. Ignore all the small roads the Garmin may suggest.

    Need advice on areas...

    You may want to consider Dune Allen. It has the Santa Rosa Beach Golf club for your golfers, Gulf Place is good for eateries and shopping, and since Dune Allen is at the west end of 30A it is close to the larger shopping venues in Sandestin and Destin. There are homes for rent at both ends...

    Permits for Dogs to be on the beach

    I always get my tags by mail. You can obtain them by calling the Clerk of the Court at 850-267-2040. She will send you the forms and rules by mail or fax. You will need to sign the form and send copies of the rabies certificate, your tax statement, and $25 per dog along with a stamped self...
