If you want some input, email Pat Blackshear, Director of the Planning Department (email address at Walton County, Florida Online) and the entire BCC (email addresses at Walton County, Florida Online) expressing why you oppose the drive-throughs. Sounds like incompatibility. Also, email the South Walton Community Council http://www.southwaltoncc.org/mc/page...838&orgId=swcc to get their help.


If you have a strong opinion on this issue, please call our new Dst 5 Cty. Commissioner, Ms. Ceceila Jones. Attending the next BCC meeting would help too. This could be a new wave of purging the apathy we have seen in our section of the county. Stand up and speak for what you believe!

I agree with the goose/golden egg post. Please don't let it happen there. What's next ... bumper boats and go-karts?

What about Big Kahuna at Nature Walk?

I'll have to rely on emails and letters. I have a full-time job and live in Georgia, so I can't attend Tuesday night meetings. In the past I could justify taking off from work on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday mornings when a developer was trying to build condos next door to us. But I can't for a larger issue. Surely enough of you are concerned enough to physically represent out-of-towners like me.

I will call Ms. Jones.

I think you'd be amazed how quickly this community comes together when the character of this area is threatened. Remember the blue signs? This is way worse.

I LOVE the idea of a community garden.

Is anyone aware of the co-op in Red Bay started by Charlie Morgan? It's a farmer's market/co-op/cafe that will serve to preserve the sense of community. That might compliment a community garden really well.

community gardens in New York City. The Trust for Public Land works on providing parks, community gardens, and green spaces all over the country...through its Parks for People program.


New York City Community Gardens, New York City Community Gardens Success Stories: The Trust for Public Land

I would love to see Sowal have a community vegetable garden.

Also wouldn't it be nice if the community would come together and find ways to solve whatever problem there is with getting food cheaper and faster...in some way other than building "cookie cutter" junk food places with drive-thrus. Surely, there is a more community compatible way to solve the problem.

I can think of ONE time I desperately needed fast food on 30A/98, but I made do with Cheetos, bean dip and Fritos from the place down the road from Grumpy's.

Thanks for the emails again, BR. I'll get to writing.

It isn't that there isn't a wide variety of take-out food items available on 30-A/98, it's that people don't seem to realize there is take-out food when there isn't a clown's mouth or some arches. :roll:
