Thanks for all the help. I ended up staying with Geovera. While they are not backed by the state, they are an independent company that has been around for a long time. I read through past years financial reports and they seemed to be well capatalized and have their risk spread out among...

Hi All - looking for some help here... I'm looking at homeowners policies today and trying to make a decision. I have quotes from Olympus Insurance Company, Bankers Insurance Co., Florida Peninsula Ins. Co., and Geovera Specialty Ins. Co. (which used to be called USF&G). Has anyone had any...

Hi all - I'm looking for prices on roofing materials. I have a great contractor friend that can do the work, but I need to supply the parts. I'm looking for area businesses that sell shingles and/or metal roofing so I can compare prices. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks.

You all are terrible - making fun of the TARDIS like that. :) If all it took was the parts from a used garden shed to produce a time traveling vehicle, I'd have it made. Don't suppose there are any Dr. Who fans out here?

Hi all, I'm looking for a used outdoor storage shed if anyone has one they would like to get rid of. Nothing fancy. It needs to be at least 5ft x 2ft x 4ft clear inside. Thanks

No problem Shgoode, I understand. Just keep me posted and good luck!

Shgoode, How do I contact you to pick it up? Amy

Shgoode, I'd love to come pick it up. I'll PM you to get your contact information. Thanks!

Hi all, I would like to borrow a 17" laptop bag from someone for just two days next week. I need to carry my laptop around on business just this once and so I don't really want to go buy an expensive bag. But if someone has a used one that I can borrow, that would be great. Please PM me if...

You can rent them from Kelley's in Freeport for $26 for 24 hours and I have a half bottle of cleaner you can have - I just finished cleaning my carpets this morning and it didn't take nearly as much cleaner as I expected.

Freeport Mom, Where in Freeport are you? We live over on Bay Grove. And I'm a St. Louis gal myself.

We live on Bay Grove Rd - the traffic is crazy. It looks like it is starting to get better though and the cars are moving faster - not sure if that is because people are taking a different route or what though.

Any Mizzou grads out there as well? Every now and then I catch a sticker on the back of someone's car or spot a Mizzou shirt along the bike trail on 30A but not too many. I see more Cardinals logos than anything else, although if our football team can hold its own again this year maybe that...

St. Louis people Where in St. Louis are you all from? Or rather, should I ask, what high school did you go to? I'm a Parkway Central alum!

journalist background? Are you working for a local newspaper or where have you worked before? As an ex-reporter, I love hearing where people in the journalism business have come from.

Hey all, Turns out the people we were thinking would meet in Destin couldn't make it so we ended up in Sowal at Destin Chops -- wonderful service and my sushi was outstanding. Thanks Chops for an awesome birthday dinner.

Thanks Chops, that sounds really wonderful. I'll be in touch.

Hi all, We have some friends coming into town and meeting us in Destin Harbor. It is a special birthday dinner and they suggested either Zampieri's Harbor Grill or Destin Chops? We've never been to either... any recommendations? What about other places in that same category?

Isn't something going on at Redfish Village tonight - another part to the international food and culture party? I thought I saw an ad for that in the paper or something. Does anyone know when that starts and any details about how much it costs or what is going on? Thanks.

Yes, the fireworks were awesome. We watched from off our dock. It was incredible to see them with the storm rolling in behind and the lightening striking in the distance. I hope it becomes a yearly event.

Has anyone heard about fireworks tonight - July 5th - up at Hammock Bay? I heard something about this but don't know where or what time. I think it is connected to the grand opening of the new Freeport City park in Hammock Bay.

My husband and I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of FL - the Blue Options Under 65 plan. It seems to work pretty well. PM me if you want more information about the pros/cons and all. Thanks.

Hi all, My hubby and I are looking for a good dentist in the Sowal area... any recommendations?

Do you have to have written something to come or just be a book lover?

We have about a half acre, flat, not too much in the way of shrubs and trees. I think it's pretty easy to mow. Feel free to call me to ask for directions to swing by and check it out if you want before you give me a quote. 850-835-0404.

Actually, They bought the house a while back and have loved it as a second home. But now they are tired of mowing the lawn and taking care of it. They want to move to a condo instead closer to Destin and closer to where we live. But they just don't know if they should wait or sell. They could...

If you had the option, would you wait another year to try to sell and see what happens with the pass or do you think now is as good as ever? The house is not on the sound, but back off 87 on the bay.

Thanks everyone. It certainly gives me something to think about.

I know this is a bit off the beaten path from South Walton - but my parents have a home in Navarre they are thinking of selling. It is on the bay and brand new - built in 05. They were told by one realtor however that nothing on the bay is selling in Navarre and that it is silly to even put it...

I'm looking for someone who mows lawns in the Freeport area. Any recommendations or referrals?

Sarah, I'd love it if you came out here. You know how much my husband loves your steaks, so you have to bring those too.

Thanks Seaside2. We're lucky in that we always seem to have a lot of fun doing what we love.

Hi everyone, Feel like I should introduce myself. My husband and I have a local architecture firm, Archiscapes, LLC. We do homes and offices all over 30A, Destin, Ft. Walton and on. I'm 27, a hopeless romantic, a running fool, and if I don't start filing soon I'll never find my desk again...
