Thank you! I never knew the story either!

Does anyone know the hours of the famous H&M Hotdog in Definiak Springs?

Wow! Thanks for the specials update!

Yum! Modica's lunch specials signal the arrival of Fall.

I just saw that Haus of Klaus, in Mystic Porte - Grayton, is starting their annual Off Season Blue Plate lunch special - $7.95! Changes daily! What other local eateries offer off season specials?

I had to go into Regatta Bay in Destin today on an errand and the guard at the gate told me that there was a man with a gun holed up in a house surrounded by sheriffs. I decided not to go in at that time and came back several hours later. A different guard at the gate told me that there were now...

I believe that I read that there is funnel cake. That's about all I need to know. I think that the weather is supposed to be good this weekend. Sounds fun!

If any graphics need to be produced to help the cause, I willing to donate my efforts. I don't want my kids growing up with drilling platforms sitting on the horizon.

I mentioned the bear sighting in Subway 30A, and the sandwich technician told me that a bear regularly visits a dumpster there. There are more here than I thought or else its one busy bear.

You are correct. The 12 big, flatscreen tv's are around the Pizza Bar.

Oops! Sorry about that! My bad. :D

This is a good point. All it takes is a few people to start getting nervous before a mob with torches and pitchforks starts canvasing the forests. The last bear/dumpster situation around here that I've heard of was maybe 11 years ago at the Donut Hole on 98. I'm not sure if I remember what...

Sorry it took me until this morning to talk about the bear sighting. Thanks Kurt for posting it. Yesterday about 6:30 pm I was driving past the park entrance on 30A and not too far before the bridge (I think near the Ranger house), I spotted a medium/large sized black animal lope quickly across...

Bud & Alley's Pizza Bar has 12 new flat screen tv's for football season. Freshly installed for the paisanos (this is Italian for friends or countrymen) to watch the game, hang out, drink some beer or wine and eat some pizza. The Pizza Bar is also right off the beach in case the family wants to...

This is great news. I'm afraid that I had lost hope since this had happened so long ago. I'm glad to have my faith restored.

I think that they can do valet if there are a lot of guests but there's still a good bit of parking, just not the number required by law for a restaurant I think. I've not heard of any problems with parking.

My wife is a flower and event designer and does business with Bentley's (shameless plug: http://www.caridflowers.com/ ) and they have always been very nice people to work with. They have owned the building since before the 3Thirty1 restaurant and are lifetime locals with a very credible business...

I am personally for more civic facilities in SoWal. That is about my only complaint with the area. Although I appreciate all of the local resort developments' green spaces, it would be great to have some spaces that are truly for the community, especially if it included ballfields or pools. I'm...

When I first moved to SoWal, almost 14 years ago (1996), my wife and I lived in a micro-small apartment behind our store in Ruskin Place, Seaside and felt extremely safe compared to the city we left. We heard stories of how everyone left their doors unlocked and we were excited to join the club...

Does anyone know what those caterpillars are that started infesting SoWal within the last week? They are everywhere and they are creepy, not to mention fast! I thought that they might be a Buck Moth caterpillar, but I don't think so. :blink:

I've known Klaus for a long time but only tried out the Klaus Burger this week. First off, I should mention that I walked in with my family about fifteen minutes to close (shame on me!) but Klaus welcomed us with open arms and didn't whine like some other restauranteur might; second, my family...

Thanks for the info!

Are any residential houses in danger? Has anyone been evacuated?

Just to go over this part one more time, it is known who the truck belonged to? I'm guessing legally you may not want to put that info out here, but I'm very interested in knowing what company would issue a vehicle to such a person and then want to protect them. I've been eyeing up blue F150's...

Very very true. All I need to do is turn my head in the other direction and catch a glimpse of the Gulf to remember why I'm down here. Thanks for the reminder.

I do love the little Yellowfin building and folks. I didn't know that you all sold fishing licenses, but was happily surprised to find out when my parents last visited and I needed to get them some. Its always great to find out what really local resources are available nearby. Thanks!

Bruno's Pizza is not closing. Bruno's grocery store near Sandestin is. I never knew that there were so many people that had such strong feelings about zip codes. Is it tribal? Do we need to defend our own turf, mark our territory? Although, I suppose in the land of technology where every...

I ate at Fabrice's in WaterColor last weekend and Fabienne(?) suggested that when they reopen the 98 location that they were doing something different there. Does anyone know if its open or what the surprise is?

I just wish that someone would do something with the Wheel House building. Its quite an eyesore that I have to drive past everyday. I would think that the owners of the building would want to do something to make it generate money- rebuild/lease/sell? Maybe they have it listed at 05 prices. I...

Wow. I hate to hear stuff like this. In our small-ish community it burns me up that there are people so hateful around. I hope that they find out who the driver is and that justice is served. I hope the motorcyclist is doing o.k. Did I read correctly that the police know what company owns the...

Those are all good ones. Our family has gone on a couple of little trips through Chimney Rock. That place is definately touristy, but in an old school way. I find it charming to visit. Its a throwback. I like the history of the region and Lake Lure. It blows my mind that there was once a time...

Is there a secret underground subculture of local fire dancers that I don't know about? I saw a couple of young ladies fire dance once at Ceruleans for a Jimmi wZ show. They looked relatively new to the genre but did o.k.

Wow. Pauly Shore. Is he still a celebrity?

I love the Taqueria el Calentano. I've not really had authentic Mexican in Mexico to judge it by, but I do know that lots of Latinos in our area go there for those hard to find specialties like la lengua, cabeza, and menudo if that means anything. They say one family drives from Navarre every...

Welcome home! :D

Good thing I guess. Thanks for the lowdown though.

I'll let him know. I guess he's not from the U.K. I've never heard of that show before.

Monkey Dust Transcendental Orchestra Poster I forgot to post the poster. Sorry.

I believe that it has a similar meaning to juju, mojo, gri gri and things like that. A harmless word used in a funky mixed band of drummers, vocalists, poets, flutist, rain sticks, and all kind of musical oddities.

For anyone looking for something very different to do (and for a very good cause) this Saturday, August 16 at 7:30pm - Jimmi wZ is performing with the Monkey Dust Transcendental Orchestra at Flutes & Vegetables in Ponce de Leon. It is a little bit of a drive (1 mile north of I-10, exit 96, Hwy...

I'm pretty sure that Brusters was a privately run franchise. The owner also has been the top car salesman at Honda in Ft. Walton. Maybe the car business is more successful than the ice cream business. :idontno:

Like I said- you can't often save someone from themself.

I think that more adults drown every year than children at our beaches. I stand with my offer to donate my design services if I can help. Just let me know. Even one saved life is worth it.

I know that when my family is going to go the the beach, we actively look for flags or research the situation before we go. I also know that there are lots of stickers, magnets, pamphlets, ect. out there with the flag system to educate the public. I think that the problem is that there are many...

Its a bad marketing move to have a name that could alienate potential customers.

I get a little discouraged by the visitors who act like they've left all responsibility at home (walking out into traffic without looking, bad beach etiquette, ect.) as if its their right to do so. Not everyone acts this way, thank heavens, but those who do won't read or take note of our...

The master appears when the student is ready.

That is very upsetting about the turtle. The beach patrol should have come. It would be nice to have a group that was supported by the local authorities to at least be a "neighborhood" beach watch. One that would get quick responses from them.

Where/who around here? My wife is betting on the Barefoot Contessa brownie mix.

I have been craving a good brownie lately. My wife and I have debated about where to find the best brownie. Any favorites?
