    Hot Job in a Hot Spot!

    :bang:unbelievable. i don't mean any disrespect, but i feel for the small/medium business owners who right now feel fortunate to eek out a 'break even' existence while trying to hold on and take care of their staff the best they can, (when many owners are either shutting down or losing their...

    Favorite Pizza in SoWal

    as earlier mentioned, Cabana Cafe throws a damn good pie--you gotta try the Cordon Bleu if you like a 'white' pizza. also i've found that the italian sausage at Fat Daddy's is the best ever-- not crumbles, but fresh slices with amazing flavor.

    Carrier with best Cell Phone Service Coverage for South Walton?

    at&t has always worked everywhere i've gone, beach or otherwise, and like the comment above it seems to work when no one else has service. i've even had service at the bartop at Redbar, which from what i hear is near impossible. i believe that Sprint does a great job of always having phones...

    Seeking a couple of dr. referrals....

    Hey Everyone, I'm the guy who doesn't take care of himself and hates going to the doctor. I have a good 10 years of slowly compiled health issues that i've made a resolution to, umm, find resolution. And I love the area and don't plan to leave. So, that said, I need: A Primary Physician...

    cheap driveway options?

    Just curious, what's amongst the cheapest options for putting some type of material down to form a drive? I currently rent, not own, but if the price was right i might convince my landlord to do something so that i'm not just parking and driving in the grass (or now lack thereof) in my front...

    What's with all the rumors?

    thanks for the input. yeah, i wouldn't call us a "locals place" either, at least not like what you're referring to. but i wasn't b.s.ing the fact that we get mainly locals -we're not visible from 98, so the tourists can't find us anyways :) and yeah, other Grand Boulevard employees don't come...

    What's with all the rumors?

    The flip flops posting is just another example in a long list of rumors being spread about restaurants that are 'closing down'....coincidentally, the restaurants involved in the rumormill are all newcomers to the area, and almost all of them are what locals sneeringly call 'corporate'...

    Are we headed for an epic bear market?

    can someone explain to me the difference between 'world debt - external' and 'global collateralized debt obligations'....the original article states that these CDO's are totalling 485 trillion, and the cia site states our world debt at around 53 trillion as of 2004....?

    Are we headed for an epic bear market?

    can someone explain to me the difference between 'world debt-external' and the total globalized CDO's that are detailed in the first original article. the first article says that the global CDO's total 485 trillion, and the cia site states our world's debt at only 53 trillion as of 2004.....

    Tommy Bahama "Island Time" Happy Hour, Mon-Fri 3-6pm!

    thanks for the feedback... right now we're busy by 6:30 so it doesn't make sense to do the happy hour after 6. one thing we are considering though is reopening the happy hour after 9pm to close, so if you can't make it early, then maybe make it late! that probably won't happen till off-season...

    Love Shack...YAY!

    i thought the place was great, i was shocked at how nice the place was given its name and location. i sat out at the tiki bar and had dinner with a friend, we had a great time, met a couple of people around the bar, very social. the 2 bartenders were not very social, and it was hard to get...

    Looking for LTR in February...

    well, due to circumstances here in Texas, my move date is now going to be March 2-7th. anyways, looks like i won't have time to do a preview trip, so instead i'll just have an extra week to get settled before i have to start work. i've decided i'm definitely going to get a dog, so i'll need...

    NEW YEAR'S Eve Dining

    One of Tommy Bahama's biggest things they focus on is their annual New Years Eve party. Typically a package deal that includes multi-course dinner, free flowing champagne, live entertainment, and even one of those Tommy Bahama silk shirts. I've done two of them in Texas, it's a huge draw.

    Fire at Condos on Somerset Beach Road

    that's terrible! hopefully in the morning you'll figure out what caused the fire, and hopefully it's something reasonable and not sinister. glad you, your wife, and apparently everyone else ended up safe!!!!

    Looking for LTR in February...

    thanks Nancy, i'll let you know...i find out in the next week or so what my actual itinerary is going to be and what date i will actually arrive in FL. i'm strongly leaning towards the likelihood that my company will be sending me on a househunting preview trip or at least sending me a week or...

    traffic

    1) i don't own a motorcycle, nor have i ever, although i learned to ride them when i was young, and i happen to just like them. 2) as a former school bus driver of 4 years and a professionally trained performance driver on 'closed circuit' race tracks, i'm certainly not one to endorse or...

    traffic

    i don't know what's more pathetic, the fact that i'm generally considered a pretty intelligent person but i'm not understanding the meaning behind your humor.........or the fact that your 'signature' might apply to this situation but i'm still not understanding the meaning behind your humor...

    traffic

    thanks for the responses. i live in the Houston metro, up north. I drive north on I-45 16 miles to work, from the suburb of Spring up to The Woodlands. I typically make it to work in 15 minutes, 20-25 if there's rush hour traffic. So, spoiled that i've been, i'd like to keep the short...

    traffic

    I heard traffic on 98 is real bad during 'season'... like stories of taking 1.5 -2 hrs to get from FWB to 30-a? I'm not from here but will be soon, and i ask: When, exactly, is considered 'season'? How bad IS the traffic, and how far east/west does it extend? Do people with motorcycles get to...

    Looking for LTR in February...

    very high probability that i'll be moving to SoWal in February, looking for a place as close to Sandestin as possible. I stayed off of 30-a at Blue Mtn last summer, I'd love to be that direction but not a requirement. prefer to live alone, and i don't like apartment/condo type dwellings. i...
