But I do not agree with this comment about PC Beach and Destin.

Why couldn't they have stayed in Destin and PC w/ the rest of the tacky crap and box stores instead of coming here to destroy our happy lives!

Yes, if people become that unhinged over the presence of shopping outlets they need to up their meds.

i go to Walmart once a year, maybe.

No elitist attitude, just this - by the time you factor in the time and gas to get to Walmart, Publix or Winn Dixie looks more attractive than it does on price alone. Having the Target at Pier Park pretty much ended any need for a trip to Wal-Mart.

I challenge you to name three businesses that will be put at risk by the SOWAL-MART.

Santa Rosa Pharmacy
Beach Bums

Publix won't but "put at risk," but they will definitely have to start competing on pricing.

There will be the good and the bad coming when the Not-So-Super Walmart opens. If you don't like what Walmart does to an area, spend your money elsewhere.

It will break ground any day now and construction will take about 9 months.

The new Walmart will be part of the 116-acre Topsail West development with 308,000 sf of retail space, 5,000 sf of office space, 190 senior living units, 110 assisted living units, and 310 multi-family units.

Yep, I wouldn't have thought that a couple of days after posting on this thread that I would actually see heavy equipment parked in the woods. Good bye trees bending in the wind, hello plastic bags BLOWING in the wind. SHEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!! :sosad:
 
I disagree that the beauty of the beaches is consistent from Pensacola to Mexico Beach. What makes this area unique and utterly stunning is the Dunal Lakes. No place else can even hold a candle to the raw primal beauty of sunset at the outflows of one of our lakes. Not even to mention the trash and garbage that litters competing gulf coast beaches in far excess to ours. PC Beach in particular is disgusting most of the year. I like 30a just the way it is and pray that it is able to maintain it's unique beauty in the face of the encroaching redneck riviera mentality.
