Just checked out your website, and I think everything sounds delicious. My only criticism would be charging $9.00 for children's meals like mac and cheese. We have 6 year old and 3 year old grandchildren, and I can't imagine spending that amount on what they eat as they so often don't finish...

Where is Nona's? I never heard of it.

We live in Blue Mountain Beach, and I would rather have a tea room, coffee shop or a bookstore than 10 real estate offices. Do not blame us for trying to keep the area from becoming overdeveloped with increased traffic and less ambience. I have spoken to many tourists who say that Blue Mountain...

Reasonable would be nice. Tired of wine bars, cajun food, small plates. Want to buy local but the prices need to be affordable, not all $25 entrees that don't even come with a salad.

You mean in the front of it? I think there is still a for sale sign and one on the very small lot next to that one- that one says "reduced".

Mexican would be great. Good mexican food that the locals can afford.

Anyone have any information about the new restaurant opening in First Note's former space in Redfish Village?

Thanks for responding! We will definitely stop by!

Went there once having the same question. The food was okay. I know the owners live there.

I appreciate everything the maintenance people do. I wasn't attacking them. I just suggested that picking up a bit more frequently during extremely high tourist times would prevent the overflow. Sure, I wish people would take away their own garbage but do many do not.

Definitely interested in a glider. Would need to see a photo.

Thanks much Robert and Mara! Will be sure to stop by!

It seems to me that the TDC should schedule more frequent trash pick ups at the beach accesses during holidays. One of my neighbors was at Ed Walline early this morning. The multiple receptacles were overflowing, and there were beer bottles, cans and toys everywhere. Of course, you really wish...

Too many people on too narrow of a road. But the TDC will figure out ways to bring in more people. Need balance between tourists needed to support businesses and quality of life for locals. With how small the 395/30a area is, I can't say with any confidence there is a great solution.

Absolutely agree with you.

You are very observant. I have repeatedly asked the same question. These roads can never be widened but it seems like our county commissioners are not concerned. If we overbuild, it will come back to bite us. I remember reading an article when the real estate crash happened about a city (can't...

I think everyone living along 30a needs to be proactive about preserving any quaintness and charm it has left. I understand that people buy condos and homes to rent and make income. I understand people buy land to build on for personal use or for investment. But if we do not manage the growth...

I noticed a new restaurant opening in the strip center across from Gulf Place on 30a. A banner over the space says "Cafe Bolo". Anyone have any information? Thanks.

Carmel Hawkins is not a doctor. She is an ARNP- a nurse practitioner.

Criolla I totally agree. I'm tired of having to spend $15 to $20 for lunch. That's why we end up at chain restaurants often. Whiskey Bravo started off fine but then changed their manager, raised their prices, and their food and service went downhill. Good luck to them but I do wish more local...

I am with the others who say people will start passing and creating accidents.

would be nice to use some of that BP money for something important like this.

visitors with dogs Most beaches do not permit dogs, period. While I am very appreciative of the fact that your dogs were on leashes, I don't think we need to be encouraging more people to bring more dogs. I am a resident and have stopped purchasing a permit because of all the inconsiderate...

Someone told me they heard a rumor that Whole Foods and Dunkin Donuts are coming to the Shops at Sandestin. Anyone hear the same?

I am still scratching my head over why we need the TDC to bring in more visitors. If Seaside cannot accommodate parking for current tourists as well as the locals and employees, why would we encourage more people to come here? We already deal with overflow at all the beach accesses, and 30a will...

Ditto. She was not beholden to any special interest. She is not a developer, real estate agent or builder. Even though I am not a Republican, I have no problem whatsoever voting for her. She is the best candidate. As soon as election fever started, I noticed that Cecelia Jones became much more...

I agree. We have to think about what made this area special in the first place and why so many of us moved here. It was not because of convenience to anything but the beach. We loved the solitude of 30a. I understand that the parts of Hwy 98 that are not owned by the state will eventually be...

Agreed!

I am a life long Democrat, and I appreciate your honesty about what you are seeing here. There is a very extremist element within the Republican Party down here. I am sick and tired of being bashed and being told I hate God and am unpatriotic because I am a Democrat. I think you do represent the...

Our local government is an embarrassment at this point. My husband asked me why are scott brannon and dawn moliterno permitted to still make decisions for our county when they are apparently being investigated by the Feds! I said we still don't have a definitive answer about whether they are...

I'm still wondering, with no answer, what ever happened to the "workshops" that were supposed to take place that involved the public????????? Was i just dreaming??? Jdarg, you are right on the money with your assessment of what tourists want to do when they get here. Who is a better judge of...

Great profile! Have never met Suzanne but I have a lot of respect for her. Just reading about how she treats her employees tells you a lot about her character.

I've written to both Cecelia Jones and Toni Craig, the new County Attorney. Neither one has replied. It has been more than a month. This is not what I would call being "responsive". Even if you do not have a specific answer to a question, it is proper at least respond to a constituent to let...

The issue with the current TDC space being maxed out becomes irrelevant when you believe the TDC should be smaller. Why it was constructed over a retention pond, I will never know. But the building can't be that bad if the TDC was going to give it to the Division of Forestry. I would support a...

I was at the last meeting. JDarg, let me know if the invocation goes the way it did last time.

i'm amazed at the lackadaisical attitude around here. "As long as we don't offend the tourists". So we have to tiptoe around them and just accept the excessive drinking, garbage, loose dogs (they aren't permitted to have dogs period on the beach as you must have a permit....yeah, right). all we...

I think with the high cost of eating out in most of 30a's restaurants, you hope for good food and good service right off the bat. We do cut a new restaurant some slack because they are dealing with new employees, and in that line of business, it is sometimes challenging to find quality staff. We...

My husband and I moved here almost 8 years ago. We followed our dream earlier than we thought we would. We took a chance, financially, but we were very fortunate in that my husband found a good job doing exactly what he was doing in our previous city. Our children were grown, though, so it was...

i emailed cecelia jones a few weeks back when i first saw a large dump truck hauling what appeared to be dark sand past the blue mountain beach access. i finally heard from her, and she stated it was the Retreat project and indicated the dark sand was being removed.

and thank you for finding that dog before it was hit by a car. besides the tags and chips, it would be wise (and following the law) if the dogs are on leashes or confined in their yards. dogs can get out by accident but there are some people here who think we live on 10 acre lots, and there is...

ballyhoo's not sure about that "deep cleaning" noted on their sign. have not seen anyone in that restaurant since that sign was put up. i never saw many cars there so i wondered if they might be closing, period, unless it is just until the spring.

great work! i will attest to kris meigs phenomenal work! she is the most versatile artist i know! I plan on ordering a custom sculpture from her soon!

glad to hear. just a side note - building for dollar general is currently planned to be over 9,000 square feet.

Someone i know just received notice in the mail of the above - meeting will be held, and those who want to can protest. don't know if anyone on sowal has mentioned this or not. heard earlier a Target is coming, as well. Knew the sowal Walmart would just be the beginning.

Oasis Skin Care is wonderful. K.B. Dalal's facial was the best i have ever had!

thanks, bruno. the discount is much appreciated and is much more than anyone else provides here. we will be sure to stop by.

those signs go well with a beach wedding, huh? even if the wedding is on the public beach, you will probably end up with the signs in your photos!!

if your smart remark about auto sunshades refers to my post, that's too bad. there were many other things that walmart did not have - i just didn't bother to list them. i am clearly not the only one who thinks very little of the place. the locals keep a place going...tourists are here for a...

john, what does the reference to "silversteinlandburgs" mean? i'm not following...

i saw those flags and thought it was so tasteless. trying to attach "patriotism" to their greed. ha!
