    CNN Money Predicting Bottom for Panama City

    Cork, I don't have data to back it up, but anecdotally, I'm sure a lot of us would agree with you about the drop being greater than 23.8%. I guess Business 2.0 Magazine's prediction that CNN Money reported was a little off... Top 10 cities: Where to buy now | 1 | Business 2.0 This newest...

    Wanted 3-4 BR LTR east of 393

    Hi everyone, We are looking for a 3 BR, preferably 4 BR, house east of 393 for a one year lease. We were told that 393 was the dividing line for Butler vs. Bay Elem. Is this correct as far as anyone knows? We have a daughter that we hope can attend Bay this coming school year. So, there...

    Walton County School Board budget discussion

    What is the most objective way to be able to compare schools across state lines? The basic premise of using a national standardized test like the SAT or ACT makes sense at first glance, but as mentioned, there are lots of biases that can influence the results. In these times of economic...

    New highway 331 bridge in Walton County

    Your post definitely helped! You don't seem like a Debbie Downer to me. I appreciate a realist. I had no idea how the cash was being handled, and your and SJ's posts highlighted the potential disconnect with one group's priority list being reconciled with stringent timelines made all the more...

    New highway 331 bridge in Walton County

    BeachSiO2, I agree with you that at first glance the numbers don't seem to work. For those who support the idea of the new bridge, it would be great to somehow have total funding for the project as a result of the stimulus infusion. However, even if only a smaller sum than actual estimates are...

    New highway 331 bridge in Walton County

    $480,000,000 :yikes:. After reading the bridge portion on the walton county chamber link, it sounded to me like a $5,000,000 request was submitted to support additional study of the bridge design and that no state or local funds are available to support a project of this magnitude. If that...

    New highway 331 bridge in Walton County

    My apologies if this has been discussed in another thread recently, but my search didn't show anything. With all of the talk lately about infrastructure spending and allocations going to "shovel-ready" projects, I was curious what was the last official statement about when/if any funding would...

    New food rec's

    Relaxed as in not "stuffy." Not relaxed as in always quiet and low key. They have live music, tv's, wifi, etc. Fun place! :clap:

    Flavorful but not fancy If you want flavor, try JamBone in Santa Rosa Beach for some outstanding barbecue! It is a new restaurant on 98 located where Coco's used to be. Here is a link to their menu... http://www.jambone.net/Menus.html I can personally vouch for the cuban bbq...

    Mixed martial arts on CBS?

    Since there isn't a disgusting sights subforum, I thought I would post this in sports and rec. Did anyone watch the Saturday night fights on CBS and see that guy's ear? The announcer called it an "alien life form." :yikes::yikes::yikes: McCain had called mixed martial arts (or MMA) "human...

    Fishing lessons?

    Thanks JB! We would be staying in Freeport...so, we will be coming over the bridge to the beaches. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good shop in or near Freeport?

    Fishing lessons?

    I just realized that asking anglers for advice on a message board on Saturday morning also shows that I don't know much about fishing. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Fishing lessons?

    Having not grown up near the beaches, the only fishing that I have ever done is freshwater. Even with freshwater, my experience is limited. About all I know how to do is bait a hook, cast, and take a bream or bass off the hook. Though for me there is a LOT more casting and rebaiting than...

    Glad to be here...

    Thanks for the welcome jdarg! The hills of eastern Kentucky are home, but we try to get to the beaches as often as we can. I have been down St. George Island way before and love that area too.
